Remember, Inspiring Leadership is kept in check in Ariadna because it can't fuel premium pieces as potent as some of Yu Jing's best solo actors or link teams, nor does it have MSV2+ to take advantage of the smoke it can throw down with so many free orders on top of their built-in battery. PanO's equivalent is kept in check by a complete absence of smoke and a much lower amount of irregular options available to nickel and dime orders with. Giving Yu Jing Inspiring Leadership, even if only available inside White Banner, would combine the best of both worlds in a way that would not be healthy for the game in the slightest. Also, I'm going to call bunk on the Sun Tze theory. Why would he ever be a monk? If there were to be a recreation in monk form, I'm assuming it would be of a famous historical monk. Thematically, the Dalai Lama as a lhost would be amusing. Thích Quảng Đức would also be funny if he came with a flamethrower.
I am thinking sth different. 'Course he looks like a Shaolin, but his asthetic and sculpture (jeez, a Buddhist monk stepping on Buddha? Thats blasphemy!) looks like he's excommunicated from Buddhist temple. One another thing funny is his armor. I can say at the very glance it gave pretty much Hulang taste, angled armor and neck protector. Now combining the lore. Hulangs. They were recruited by General (Or Marshal) Hujeong, Ex-shaolin and master of Shaolin martial arts, a man who wouldve never grabbed the authority baton if situations were not that dire. (3rd offensive IA fluff) So here is my 2 cents. I think thats General Hujeong, Master of Hulangs and Ex-shaolin.
What I've noticed about him is that he is the first Yu Jing model with a braid in a while, and I'm happy to see it back, even if it's not that surprising since he's a monk kicking ass.
Yeah, maybe not Sun Tze, but it could be a Lhost/recreation. We'll see though! I wonder if he's part of the beyond box or something, or just a random White Banner model they had finished.
I'd place my bet on a recreation of Wong Fei-Hung, legendary martial arts master that was played most famously by Jet Li in Once Upon A Time In China
Can someone translate the add banner next to the Hundun? As for the monk, I expect that model to be the preorder one. If thats true, I might reconsider buying the box for that model alone. Furthermore, it might be a hint that that Shaolin are availabe in White Banner, which means that sectorial got Smoke if they don't redo that profile completely.
They what now? Do you have any idea what Wulvers and McMurrough are? Have you tried stopping properly controlled Mormaers without Viral ammo?
Mono CCW and a combi on this new Dire Foe. Chances of him saving the Zhanshi link are not looking good, hey.
The Dire Foe looks boring and lackluster so I couldn't care less about him. The Dire Foes box is a big no for me. If it turned out the profile was incredible amazing I would just proxy it. The servoarmored Shaolin, however, got all my attention.
Oh yeah, a lot more yellow on that picture. Will be interesting to see what the actual abilities are. Mono CCWs aren't actually all that expensive now a days and possibly even less so next edition. Not sure what needs to be saved with the Zhanshi link, though. It's pretty much as expected, even if Alguaciles have exactly the same performance for cheaper and the key to them are what you can stick in their link that aren't straight up Zhanshi. He' have to have some pretty lean skill set to actually pull any weight in melee, though...
