    Hi Guys,

    I am very new to infinity and I have decided to start with Yu jing and more precisely with ISS. So far, I was able to get the following items:

    - ISS Starter box
    - 1 box of Kuang Shi (I will probably need a second one)
    - 1 box of celestial guards
    - 1 box of Rem (Yaoxie Remotes)
    - I also have Red Veil and Beyond Red Veil
    - Dire Foes 06
    - Kanren
    - Su-Jian
    - EDITED -----Forgot to mention I already have the Sophotec

    Stuff I have on the way are:

    - Garuda Tacbot
    - The 2 other Rem Boxes (Yaokong & Yaopu)


    Now I know that I have what it takes to make playable ISS lists. However, I want to own the must have units. I do not need to own all of the available ISS units, just the ones that will always see play. What am I missing?

    You need the Sophotect. No access to Engineer or Doctor support otherwise. Get a Ninja too for a KHD. Other than that you're pretty much fairly well rounded.

    I second the Sophotech. She has insane value in ISS and won me several games if not tournaments.

    Yup, forgot to mention, I already have this one. She is pretty key in ISS.

    A sophotect could help, it's a really good specialist and since ISS tends to concentrate its firepower in a few key units it's not a bad idea to have a doctor/engineer nearby to get them back on their feet if they get unlucky.

    I was not sure if I needed these. Some are saying they are amazong, while other not so much. If I am not mistaken they could be the next thing I put on my purchase list.

    And at least both of these two, preferably 3 of each ;)

    As for the Wu Ming box, I would say they are very good to have, however, they will perform similarly to a Invincible Army Zuyong fireteam and I'm less enchanted by them because of this. As it stands they are exceptional sculpts (especially the Chain Rifle one), well worth buying, but for gameplay I'd say hold off buying Yu Jing heavy infantry until we know exactly how Zuyong will be released and then buy into IA first.

    P.S. Consider getting another murder-kitty.

    You don't need them. If you want to play a full HI link though, they're good enough.

    Tks, I will consider those, they are amazing models thats' for sure. I already have the hacker though, one more thing I forgot to put on my initial list.

    Why Would I need Three kanren of each? Is it becasue of the Holoprojector? Isn't there some tokens for those?

    Like I said, I want the effective stuff. If my fireteams are better served with CG+ Kuang shi and/or Crane, Hsien with Celestial guards/Zhanying, then I don't need those.

    That's just my purchasing habits talking. Ask me if I've assembled and painted all of them yet.

    On second thought, please don't remind me :p

    Funny thing for me is that some of my fav stuff for ISS is not a part of Yu Jing proper. Lunah technically a merc, Dakini, Miranda Ashcroft and bounty hunters, CSU. But my most favorite thing is the Su Jian. A real beast.

    Maybe when I want to field 32 models in a 200 point limited insertion, but for 300 points the midfield just gets too crowded with markers that my enemy can shoot without Discovering first. 2 is the golden number for Kanren, IMO.
