I Started Replying when you said restricted.. I was like "HUH?" most of those pieces are retired...
The spirit cat hoverbikes were one of my all time favorite pieces. There were in every army I played!
I remember a lot of people using a Saxon Nova Cat or a Dyann nova cat to haul the scorchers around (actually saxon's are probably more cost effective)
The SC clan battle armor still hold a fond place in my heart also. The kage weren't awful also.
The other thought I remember lots of people playing a repair vehicle with Mikel Nova Cat!

...Been looking at the new sneek peaks by WK. Wow, those NCs are looking pretty nice, glad to see WK is getting their act together and giving the totem pieces only and only to the factions that are mostly to have them(All of the Nova Cats other than "Duke" and "Grinder", and "9-Ball" went to NC/HK). I am thinking of building an all NC army whenever they start showing some infantry sneak peeks, which hopefully will not disappoint.

I can't believe how many Units they are getting. What set was ROTS supposed to get the lion's share of ?

ROTS got so many great mechs in the last set, they don't need much else besides a couple of vehicles and a couple of infantry.
I'm glad to see the cats get some loving.

yes but ROTS won the Faction/Recruitment war. When do they get the reward for that? Yes they did get some really nice units.. and competitive also! Even the light mech is pretty ok

They already got their reward in Firepower, over a WHOLE lance of mechs, two Assaults(The Malices) included. Firepower wasa their reward(Even though they only won because Highlanders and Republic whined about their scores not being combined...).
Anyways ladies and gents, I am changing this thread to just general SC/CNC/HK/DF/SW/CW armies, not just mine anymore, so that anyone can post an army in here.

Actually, the Blackout Malice is Gunslinger, and what do you mean by they whined?
Firepower was not our reward. Our reward was the special gear in Annhilation thats Highlander only. Then we get 40% in the next base set in February.

On MWrealms, there was a thread started by Highlander/Republic players that complained about their scores not being combined. It was rather annoying to me that they did win, based solely on this fact. It has always seemed to me that whenever there is a general recruitment drive or Faction War going on, the Highlander/Republic people want to be counted as one, but otherwise, they have always wanted to remain seperate factions. It has always gotten under my skin how the only way they won the faction war was by having their scores combined, especially when Highlanders had not even been a legal choice. Steel Wolves impressively enough got 2nd in that, just to mention by all the naysayers that the faction is unpopular due to their faction paragrams.

Well soon enough Wizkids will probally mush all "minority" factions to there parents, so then we get to hear the Highlander players whine some more about there faction being taken away. "poor me" But they deserve to get folded anyway.

Highlander never had an really good units (well a couple) but overall they were not great units!
I like the Republic and hope they still get the promised 40% of units in the beginning of the year.

Just built a HK/SC army 600pts for a friend for a storyline tourney tomorrow, tell me what you think...
1 Shiro "Kaminari" w/Enlil Searcy w?H Rapid Strike 1 Rokurokubi "Sei-gi" w/Stephan Dirks w/L Evade 3 SC PAL suit(Formation) 1 Merc Pathfinders 1 SC Gray Death battle Armor Total:600pts
The last two inf are there for the ACtive Volcanoes present in the scenario. I liked putting the Shiro and Rokurokubi in one army, they should be fun for my friend to play together. Opinions?

It looks good. You do need to have some infantry to absorb damage this scenario. The "sei-gi" is just a little too fragile for my liking but with kaminira backing him up. It should be pretty good!
