[TheDarkStar]

King George IX will take Bladestorm.

[Darkening Kaos]

-snip-

Notes
-Kaos's squad is currently being assembled out of squaddies. Expect some losses before they're ready (and also I'd suggest replacing the shinobi with a samurai just because).
-Max squad size when we get to it is 10. Once Brass becomes a colonel he'll allow us to take ten people on a trip.

     I would swap out a couple of veterans for squaddies and slowly swap more in as they rank up, but, whichever.  As for the Samurai, I forgot all about them as the class was an extra add-in, so definitely go for the samurai instead of the shinobi. 
     Looks like I might have to re-specc Kaos as well, his current direction is turning out to be somewhat shit, so, gonna see about making him a real sniper.  Is there a time requirement for re-speccing?  (and why does my spell-checker not accept re-specc as a real word?)
     Squad size of 10.............looking forward to that, although I wouldn't want the squad to be too much larger.
 

[Ashsaber]

@Kaos
Respeccing takes progressively longer with more skills, so he gets to sit out even more operations as his squad grows without him (we have the other Kaos to pretend to be him).

[Mephansteras]

Let's go with Graverobber's current build as tanky samurai and take Tactical Sense. That way if she runs up to an enemy and doesn't kill them she at least has some defense to help her out.

[Ashsaber]

I'm really liking the image thing.
Kaos's squadron composition: 4/5

     Images look great Ashsaber, really picks out a pivotal moment and puts a dramatic spin on it.

Spoiler: So, Respeccing....... (click to show/hide)

     Lance Corporal = Death From Above,
     Corporal          = Precision Shot (No change),
     Sergeant         = Longwatch (No Change),
     Staff Sergeant = Center Mass,
     Tech Sergeant = Aggression, (next promotion).

     Hmm, wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, just two perks to change, and Staff Sergeant choice really stumped me - just going for the change, because.
