I really like the helmet/mask, that's one of the things that I like about the nomad look and the sci-fi machete looks nice too.
The camo jacket is a bit of a new feature, and of course it doesn't have to be camo, but it is a new element. I'm kinda 50/50 on it, and the armored arm on top of the jacket looks a bit strange to me in some of the pictures.
What do you guys think about the new soldier in the Nomad forces?

I like the hood and the running pose, but the ccw doesn t do it for me. It looks like a kopesh or an aztec weapon, but it is held like a dagger. A dagger would have been much better. Fighters would not wield this weapon upside down, I think.

I think that it is based on a tapanga, a machete style. Or maybe an African sickle knife.

The model is fine, dynamic and all.
The issues I have?
1. The machete / CCW held in reverse grip. If it was a dagger or a curved blade (saber, wakizashi - hey, Bandits have Scavenge, he might have picked a CCW off a fallen JSA trooper, right?) it would be making more sense. Not a lot of sense if it was longer than a combat knife, but still more sense. But I have a small supply of Mirliton knives, I could easily convert that, I guess.
2. Why the Boarding Shotgun loadout first? E/Mauler is nice, but that's the only Bandit loadout with BoardingShotgun. There are two with Combirifles, and three packing Light Shotguns & ADHLs, two of them specialist (Hacker & FO). From my experience as a Corregidor player, the LSG ones are basically the only ones I use...

That's true I hadn't thought of that. I think I've never actually used the Boarding Shotgun version...we don't really care so much about weapons over here, but I guess that sucks for people who are WYSIWYGing
