White Company Reinforcements

 
Here's another batch of miniatures painted by Tesseract Miniature Studios for my White Company. These are most of the different options I need to play the "Reinforcements" option in the game, though I haven't had a chance to try that game mode yet. It's something that doesn't seem to have taken off when launched, but with the fifth edition held up a bit, maybe I'll see if I can find someone who wants to give it a go.


The Anaconda is a bit of a weak TAG. I picked up a whole bunch of them cheaply during the TAG Raid Kickstarter for the different factions I play. In N4 it's a bit fragile for what it costs, though it might have some utility as a reinforcement profile? Still, completionist brain insisted.


Bounty Hunters! The Motorised Bounty Hunter is for a different game mode, but I've included because that's probably not worth a single post by herself... The other three are all different limited edition Bounty Hunters from different editions of the game I picked up either at the time or through a recent "Happy Days" sale of older models.


So, a Hatail Spec Ops (the model on the left) isn't really a valid profile for Reinforcements or White Company, but I'd picked her up cheap at some point, and Spec Ops models make good proxies for things. At the time I sent this batch off, the non-limited "Samsa" model hadn't come out, so the Hatail will work fine for that.

The other model is a Monstrucker, who is a cheap engineer, and thus a good model to make up points in a small reinforcement contingent. Their reinforcement profile is regular rather than irregular, which brings up their cost, but I've had such success with Monstruckers in other factions that I think it's definitely worth a go.


Diggers have been one of the stand out mercenary profiles in N4 and in a typical fit of organisation, I've basically not used them for most of the edition. These heavily armoured deep space miners have been excellent corner guards, assault pieces and general mischief. White Company can only take them as reinforcements, but I'm planning on taking the profiles for an outing with Druze Bayram Security some time soon...

There's some Brawlers still to come from this batch, but other than that I'm likely holding on for White Company until the new edition drops and I see if there's any new profiles available...
