What do you expect to see in the Tunguska sectorial?

Weird furries and angry Latinos. Oh, and some shady Russians, too!

I could suggest a few names for these, but assuming it is already long decided (in sa typically CB way), I'll withstand from doing it.


I like the way you think and would actually be interested in hearing these names you've thought of.

Also, given that all sectorials get mercenaries as standard, ITS approved choices, any hunch what'll be the Tunguskan mercenary choice? Maybe a new mercenary profile is also in the works? Anaconda squad would fit in the fluff, but I have to admit I'm not that knowledgeable in it since I don't (yet) own any of the books. A mercenary can be a choice for multiple sectorials can it?

I'm not sure why anyone would ever bother with anacondas when you've got a szalamandra in your faction. I mean, it's not the best TAG, but it's a decent TAG with pretty much the best gun... what's not to love?

The sculpt. I really dislike the Szalamandra sculpt. I hope we'll see a more up-to-date sculpt soon.

Anaconda's stats look more like superheavy infantry than a real TAG, similar to Gecko's. It's quite cheap for ARM6 BS13 spitfire, flamethrower and panzerfaust. Even the pilot has a spitfire.

EDIT: Looks like Anaconda is already available in vanilla nomads.
EDIT2: Wait, no it can't, at least according to the pdf's. It's just in Army4 that it seems like it's available (red background on the title).

Either Securibot, or Domovoi.

Domovoi (in Russian, domowik or ubożę in Polish, "someone who is attributed to a home") is a creature from old Slavic mythology, roughly equivalent to Roman Penates - spirit of the household, beneficial (as in, for example, performing some household chores, as well as bringing good fortune on the household... and not being above stealing from the household next-door for benefit of his own one) if treated with respect and given token offerings (a spoonfull of groats or milk a day was said to be eonugh to keep one of them happy), though could be a real PITA if annoyed.
Also, if a happy, well-fed domovoi is in a household, he won't let any evil spirit in.
They say there will be Heaven and the Fount of Kausar,
That there, there will be pure wine and honey and sugar
Fill up the wine cup and place it in my hand
(For) ready cash is better than a thousand credits.
