There were some indications that your shiny new faction will get some resilience to LOL, like the Tohaa already enjoy. If true, that'll allow for a more aggressive play style. That would be super cool with all the CC badassery JSA looks poised to bring.
So going by the videos for today we have at least one more new profile apart from the ones in the army box, Tanko Zensenbutai, represented by an uchiha/sensu. There was also a mention of a JSA version of the Rui Shi so I guess it will be different from the current Yu Jing one. There is also an article up on the mainpage which states a bunch of minis you could buy to complement the ones you get from the army box. This article lacks any mention of Haramakis and Raidens. Could this mean that they will no longer be available? Seing as they also fail to mention the Shikami and Aragoto I'm guessing no. New sculpts perhaps?
If you watched the 1st video, and tried to read fluff from the Ryûken unit 9 page while Warren was flipping through the book, it's explained there the Ryûken Unit are members of the dismantled Raiden . So it seems Raiden are gone. And with regards to Haramaki, the new Tankô unit seems to be a HI and name translates most probably (need to see the written kanji to ascertain) as "forged steel". So I wouldn't be amazed if they were reworked and renamed as the Tankô Zensen Butai (remenber Haramaki were Zensen Butai too)
Keep in mind that even if old unit names are no longer present in the new JSA, their miniatures are probably going to remain relevant. Infinity has new rules for proxying, and so it's unlikely that minis will become useless or invalidated regardless of how the army list changes.
I figure it's as likely as not that the Raiden models will be repacked as Ryuken models. If not, its not really much of a proxy to use them as such.
That's a really rare writing, I'd be surprised if they got that right when they used the wrong Ikari on the Ikari Company logo
Mayacast just shared the army list, it looks like Haramaki have indeed been replaced by Tankou. Also we lost AVA2 of them. And we lost AVA1 on Oniwaban apparently. Special fireteam for Musashi? And special fireteam for the Dengekitai?
No one else noticed that Asuka is missing. Carlos said something special was going on with her. Sad, i really enjoyed using her as my Lt. :(
@TanakoSkyler22 Don't care about spoilers. If she's dead..... Well, i lived through Ko Dali and Toni. I'll survive this.
That's the hardest part of all this...you get the new info, you get all hyped....but in the end you still have to wait 1-2 months until you actually get it in your hands afterwards O.O
