You get ONE Pick, Wave 4 Edition
With two new waves announced since the last run, it's time for another round of You Pick 'Em. This time, we're gonna do things a little differently...
The question: Let's say Ares gives you a pick of ONE new sculpt--not a rate or a type but a specific design (say, not "Second Rate" but has to be as specific as "1797 Dreadnought 98")--and ONE reprint ship of an existing sculpt. What do you pick?
THE CATCH: You need to write a little telling us WHY your picks are Must Haves--this is an Essay section, anything like "it's obvious" or "because reasons" will result in your vote NOT being counted. Treat this thread like Rob's given you ONE chance to make your best possible arguments for each of your picks.
ONE sculpt and ONE name per category, please--try to vote twice and your vote will not be counted.
Where we are so far... Bold are official releases, regular text are my personal stand-ins
