A selection of designs are now available as squad packs: packs of 4 regular pads and one of the same design with a veteran rim. If, like me, you like to have the veteran pads on your sergeants, these should be a great way to start customising a combat squad. When the time comes to add reinforcements, simply grab the corresponding design.
For now, these are available in 22 designs of standard pads. There’s no real sense in doing the same with large pads just yet – arc have no veteran style, grav styles aren’t usually mixed in a unit, and the art-scale range is too small right now.
I will roll out some more existing standard pad designs where the veteran pad will have to be picked at random (Cogs, Spiked Rows, etc.) soon, and all future designs should be available in this format in addition to regular and veteran sets.
A couple of designs have been renamed to prepare for a future release. Hopefully not too vexing.
If anyone can figure out the theme of that future release, there will be a reward.
Anyway, I hope these packs prove useful!
Ben.
