In 2017 Red Veil Beyond released and with it the foreshadowing of the White Banner Army. I tryed to find some more Information to them but couldnt find anything. Anyone know a thread or similar that i am missing which discuss the WBA. sry for my english its second language for me :)
@Zerooness Hey man, first of all, I love your profile pic, that meme always makes me chuggle. Second of all, where do you have info of anything related to White Banner? Kind regards.
I don't know much about the White Banner Army, other than it's going to be our next, and most likely last, sectorial release. But since we got Invincible Army rather recently back in November, I wouldn't expect us to get White Banner anytime even relatively vaguely soon. Other people probably know more.
I don't think anyone can give you a timeline that's even remotely informed, but the rumour mill is that the next bunch of planned sectorials will start churning out rather soon off the back of the current new ones. All we really have on White Banner is that it's mainly the old Yu Jing units and general functionality (old as in Infinity v1, not old as inuniverse old)
Thanks, love seeing the Infidels scared. The only information i got is from human sphere out of the troopers descriptions. *with Information i mean fluff :P
I wouldn't even be able to guarantee that info being reliable, actually. Primarily because the Daofei and Tiger Soldiers have been associated with the Invincible Army before, but they don't exist within it whatsoever. Though that does make a ''safe'' assumption ( I wouldn't call any assumptions about what CB plans to do with releases safe beyond ''Hackers wear funny hats'' and ''The first release of a unit will probably be the least popular profile'' but that's just me. ) that Daofei and Tiger Soldiers will be in the White Banner Army.
Bostria was asked in a recent video about the Khanate sectorial (the next, and likely final sectorial for Haqq) and the response was pretty much "Good grief guys, you just got a shiny new Sectorial for your faction we haven't even begun doing the next one yet!" I imagine his response would be similar for White Banner, though a lot of people hope it will come out alongside Svalarheima for PanO as they're traditional opponents (being from the same contested planet).
Though that still places the release at ''No time soon'' Since YJ and PanO got new sectorials at the same time: VIRD and IA. Would make sense for them to pull that again though.
I could imagine they release a Operation Snowstorm (whatever) 2 Player box for Pano vs Yu jing. but probably not in the near future, since there still missing some some factions in these operation setting boxes
I do seem to recall Bostria answering a community question that something along the lines of saving White Banner for a White Banner vs Svalarheima Operations box. Now, if my memory is actually correct this time, keep in mind this is still an extremely early answer by the company hype builder, so it'd still not be reliable.
Actually they should release a new line of boxes! it will be the exactly same thing as Operation Boxes but it will be called something like Eternal Rivals. then they could release these sectorials much earlier !
Don't forget the Guilang. I'm willing to bet Zhanshi will be in there and may be a big part of it in someway.
The Guilang is basically assumed to be all but guaranteed in WB. Unless CB deems not so, but otherwise it should be there. Unless they invent a new MI/LI basic troop to make full AVA in the sectorial... they probably will be there.
Expanded Guilang presence in itself counts as shenanigans and Zhanshi, Troops of the Banners is a fairly safe bet. Keep in mind they need to have profits for 2020 and beyond and simply dump-releasing isn't healthy for their business nor creative quality. Just because they could dump another 6 sectorials on us doesn't mean it's a good idea. I'd rather the main faction sectorials be to JSA or Shas quality than have them be the tiny 1,5 trick ponies that are Druze and most of the other NA2. Too many videos with too many hours to go through, so sadly I don't. It's also too long ago to be reliable, we're talking pre-Uprising.
I hope they wont, WBA make themselve look like a pretty hardcore elite army, so im guessing if zanshi then something like nomads did with the interventor (the better tunguska interventor)
Zhanshi are the backbone of the banner armies, including the white banner, so I expect them to be AVA T and have lots of "Counts as Zhanshi for Fireteams" choices along with them.
oyu are probably right. Thought about the Zencha, has a pretty similar icon to the guilang and the daofei. and he has multiterrain climbing plus.. maybe that is a hint on his training in the WBA.. >.>
Zhencha, Daofei and Guilang are all Reconnaissance Division. Zhencha are the new generation Daofei - cheaper, more mobile, easier to train. It wouldn't surprise me if we see some WB-specific HI-ish, but I wouldn't expect Zhencha.
