Presumably adepticon. Either that or something that adds a meaningful and useful profile to Yu Jing. So probably Zanshis.
I can see a few things that would be useful and on topic for Yu Jing and Huang Di that is not a resculpt for Zhanshis; * A more elite skirmisher than Guilang, but still light skirmisher * A less elite skirmisher than Guilang * A Daoying sans LT2. * A light TAG * Snow Leopards - effectively Tigers without AD option. Give them MSV2 for that Bao reference. Any of the above could have a fur coat. Just please, no fur coat resculpts of Zhanshi.
I am quite sure Huang Di will have Zhanshi(Fur coat) with Zuyong core, since there is an Invincible division stationed on Svalarheima and Nisse's main job is to shoot down frozen Zuyongs after the snow storm.. So.. Yeah lets face it :( Still I wouldn't mind more midline presence, Guilangs are perfect but not omnipotent - Camo NCO would be nice - better if WB got Daoying Lt. Lei Gong got fluffy side of engaging Shasvastii of Svalarheima, so Lei would be in WB too. And Wut is this
Daoying without LT2 - i.e. some form of camo trooper with decent stats that's meant to hang out in the deployment zone.
I’d like, as someone else pointed out, Yu Jing Ninja to be a little different from JSA/Ikari. But the things I think about keep making them more like Spectors, Malignos or Tauregs, and other TO camo troops. Using my excel file and filtering out what we think will not being WB, It’s lacking in in a few specialists. No Chain of Command, 1 doctor and Engineer (but that’s normal for YJ), 3 FO, 2 Medics, then mostly expensive hackers. Someone mentioned a Heavy Shaolin but it’s that what the Hulang is supposed to be? I wouldn’t mind it if they made them actually good.
I would like for us to get a garbage can. So we are no longer a garbage can't. And, like, a new TAG. Even if it is cold garbage (get it? Cold because snow) And maybe like some unit with a gun that shoots people and stuff. And a unit that pushes the button and wins. And a good spread of units that make fulfilling classifieds easy, because I am bad at gaem and those useless consolation prize points make me feel better about myself. Also liek some kind of horrible animal native to svalarheima we can fling at our enemies. Like an octopus crossed with a sea lion but with legs and is G:synched to a sensorbot. Also if Looting and Sabotaging is staying in the game something with a DA or EXP CCW that isnt a Combi Rifle Shaolin.
Hulang are reformed violent criminals and at-risk initiates, not monks. Hulang are also failures in execution.
We can only hope. Not soon enough! That would be interesting. My thought of the Zanshi w fur coats is more like Briscards than just a resculpted Zanshi. We don't need a resculpted Zanshi, we have current CAD Zanshi. They have serious cold-weather gear, so maybe +3BTS, MSV1, and Mountain Terrain, with Marksman Rifles as the default weapon.
I recall it being one of the latest books. I'll post the address after I jump through the books; cause right now Im at workplace, slacking.
Interestingly enough, the new Kaplan box has them equipped primarily with Yu Jing weaponry. I wonder if there's a chance that they pop up somewhere in YJ in the near future.
As I remember, it's in Yu Jing section in Third Offensive, exactly in the part concerning possible Zuyong color schemes, exactly the Lánbing (the blue one).
I'm afraid that means nothing. Mercenary units always are equipped with a mix of weapons from the main producers in the Human Sphere. We have seen mercenary miniatures with weapons of all human factions and this is not the first time we see manufactured YuJing weaponry in merc units.
There are rumours that the YJ starter is going OOP. This could mean the Zanshis are repackaged into Kaldstrom.
Or as was noted in the other thread that the package is (edit: likely) being re-done into a Code 1 Essentials starter. It would devalue the White Banner starter something fierce for a lot of people if they repacked the Zhanshi models into it.
Don't worry they will drop the bomb at adepticon that Zhanshi are now considered an Invincibles unit and are being removed from the IA roster in favour of a similar but shittier version of them that will come in the Kaldstrom box.
