In all seriousness, are you playing a limited insertion tournament? ISS does two large order groups better than most, and taking advantage of it...
I, like the the OP, really like having a 6th body for my core link, so that when one inevitably dies, I have the option of recreating a full core...
This is why I have a lot of difficulty playing limited insertion. Having a second order pool to support my main order pool, to sacrifice pieces...
I am curious, what happened to all of your Kuang Shi? and your second combat group?
NCA can do limited insertion heavy infantry really well because the swiss guard is probably the best HI in the game. I don't love playing limited...
I got the impression that the kuge were planning the operation for quite some time. Hence the need to get the support of the hyperpower, leave...
Did you miss everything about the Kuge and the ninja clans? Everyone did terrible things. To be fair, Yu Jing were absolutely the bad guys. For...
With all the new stuff out, Yu Jing is amazing right now. A discount shikami with forward deployment and a flamethrower, climbing plus on a 1-1/2...
I'd take 4 dice on 7s against one die on an 8. Especially on a platform like a mowang.
My issue with just saying the karakuri is better, even though it is in most cases, is that samurai are cool.
What about missions that require standing on an objective, holding a zone, or holding a room? Having a two wound model can be nice, especially...
I have mostly played Acontecimento, Neoterra, and Steel Phalanx. I recently started putting together JSA and am excited to put them on the table....
Based on what we’ve seen with heavy infantry links recently, I think there are a couple of options. A cheap zuyong filler with an smg or chain...
I’m sceptical that pano will get a super heavy. The father Knight is pano’s version of a super heavy right now. If he had berserk, then I’d even...
The celestial guard fo in a link team is potent. Wip 14, burst two flash pulse. 17s in a five man team. Honestly though, I usually think of ISS...
Almost all of steel phalanx except: Achilles v2, hector, drakios and Scylla, the new thorakitai and andromeda are older sculpts. I love that the...
Awesome points! I guess the biggest selling point for me is that the Kanren is one of two specialists that can start outside of the deployment...
Thanks for the responses! It’s a lot to chew on. I need to just put it on the table a bunch and see what I can get done. I do like the idea of...
As written above, I don’t get the kanren. It has good stats and cool tools. But I don’t understand why I would take one over many of the other...
I tend towards 14-15 orders. With other factions, I want the second group to have fast or infiltrating specialists. With steel phalanx I often...
