I mean, if you want a showcase of all the great things which Vanilla Yu Jing has going for it then look at this kind of list: Favorites ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 4 CELESTIAL GUARD Lieutenant Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife.

(0 | 3) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army You'd probably want to play with the groups a bit, but this is the kind of thing which Vanilla Yu Jing does super well.
I would switch the Daofei and the Hac Tao, so the first rambo is the Daofei... little else is needed, but the list is purely active and the Kuangshi require carefull handing so they don't die to enemy ARO.
For rambo I really like the Yu Jing combo of terracotta HMG LT, Hac Tao HMG executive order and the safety net of a Chain of Command Pheasant.
I've always found the Pheasant to be too expensive to be worthwhile in that role. If your opponent has cut down two active HMG Lt's then you are already in trouble, enough so that CoC likely isn't going to pull back the win in any case.
Rambo wave 1, rambo wave 2, no MSV, CoC... the question this opens is how do you protect your cheerleaders, because seeing a terracotta and a CoC means using the AD trooper to cull the herd.
At 1 SWC each, and spending 4 SWC on HMGs... It's like Aleph going with 2 TR, one mk3 Posthuman (HMG) and 1 Asura (Spitfire), but for a killy mission it could work, specially on Limited Insertion and with a Tiger.
It's only 3 SWC (unless you take the Pheasant Red Fury CoC), the Zuyong Automedikit HMG LT is 1SWC and Hac Tao XO HMG is 2. I prefer running the Zuyong HMG LT with a Yan Huo HMC, though. All the dakka!
Yan Huo are the only way to get a prone-able HMC, I think... people prefer the Missile Launcher with neurocinetics, but... (and both models are GREAT) And the Zuyong HMG is way cheap, then, but you still blow 5 SWC with the 2 TR... but you can place a Kanren, ninja KHD and something of 0.5 SWC to boot mmm...
Here is my atempt at list building but im struggling to use the last 10 points. Yu Jing ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 HAC TAO HMG, Nanopulser / Pistol, DA CCW.

(0 | 11) GROUP 2 2 2 SHAOLIN Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (0 | 5) SHAOLIN Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (0 | 5) 5.5 SWC | 290 Points Open in Infinity Army Would you use the last 10 to get 2 more monks or try to make some more room in the first group to get 10 orders?
2 more shaolin can be good. Especially when you have hsien and rui shi for msv+smoke trick. Your list does not have any aro so flash pulse bot for 8pts can fill group one. With 2 spare points you can upgrade zhanshis to forward observers.
Sorry, had to re-parse that. Stupid Army Mobile doesn't export to the forum correctly. By my count, you only have 6 orders starting out in that first combat group (two Hidden Deployed and one Airborne Deployed off the table). I'd look towards getting at least 8 orders on the table in the first combat group. This means putting one of your off-table models into the second group and adding another two models to the first group. I'd suggest adding a Baggagebot to the first group, and probably shuffle one Shaolin in there, too.
