July releases from Corvus Belli & August preview 

Then I couldn’t be happier about the new design!

Thanks so much for your support! The siocast is a bit trickier to work with in a few ways but the new hard plastic is a joy!

Oooh a two Tikbalang list sounds like a great use.

I like that the old ones are distinct. They were hard to find and expensive and the new model doesn't wipe out that value.

Series does look so good and I’m excited for that to get released

Will Tohaa even be a faction in N5 🤷‍♂️

Now I need to do some Googling!

Big boots to fill

As a JSA player how are you feeling about the Gen Con news?

I’ve yet to try but I’ll give it a go on the next hard plastic minis I get my grubby hands on!

@@the_infinitygamer ty, iam looking forward to that, iam glad that they go towards plastic, i liked sio but still not a fan of metal 😅

@highlordalcadizakyr1479 fingers crossed standard plastic glue works well

Phew! It was touch and go for a minute there!

Great perspective and so well articulated that I’ll need to reassess my viewpoint on the O-Yoroi being too cheap before my next video 🙏

I have to disagree here. I play Steel Phalanx, and this new JSA TAG is not too different from Agamemnon, and that is not a good thing. Aggy is the one piece I NEVER use in N4 (in Code One it has its uses) because it simply can't compete with Achilles if I intent on bringing a "TAG", and if I don't there's that. This new model doesn't bring (ruleswise, the mini looks amazing) anything to be excited about. For it's cost I's rather go cheaper with a Daiyokai or just pay those 13p for a full O Yoroi (or just do away with TAG like stuff and bring a fistful of ninjas). If it at least had enough mobility to leverage those CC stats it'd be nice to consider giving it a role, but as is? Hard pass, which is a pity because, again, I DO like the model a lot

6-4 movement does give it speed to get into CC and the smoke options available mean it can race up under the cover of smoke to get close at 10” a time. Even if your opponent has MSV it can take a hit from anything other than a lucky HRL. The tactical awareness gives it that extra order for movement too. So getting it into CC is very doable. The lack of stealth is an issue when O-Yoroi has it.

@@the_infinitygamer that's the thing - O-Yoroi can do exactly the same thing but better. The problem is in the design of the Mechazoid's role on the field. The profile as it is brings more problems to JSA list-building than it solves. Different HMG platform - VERY cool. But then we see: - it's a worse shot than O-Yoroi, - cannot link like Dayiokai can (this is a bummer really. If it could DUO, an ability to escort a specialist engineer Yuriko Oda up the board would be very handy), - has no Stealth so cannot avoid some of the dangers to TAGs/HIs/REMs (meaning it requires more support from other pieces and is in some ways less mobile), - has Religious instead of Courage so cannot duck into cover after a failed-but-survived shootout, like so many other pieces in the JSA lists can,... Personally I believe Martial Arts and CC capabilities "because: samurai" are a trap here. If we drop that, we get a MUCH cheaper profile and could either stay at this or add something more defining in the "role" area. Without it having some defining positive features and/or less points-cost it's really hard for it to compare well against the O-Yoroi, Dayiokai link or full ML/Panzerfaust Tanko HARIS (for the same points and BS) And O-Yoroi is not too cheap. It's fine as it has generally less armor and shoots worse than other similarly costed S7 TAGs, but makes up for it in uniqueness.

@@Majkhelek Dude the O Yoroi IS undercosted. Crazily so. Strip out stealth, minelayer and koalas and it would be fairly costed, as a strong allrounder with the USP of being great in CC. Guijia is my baseline for this, and I don't see how anyone could justify the OY being around 9pts cheaper whil also being stricly better.

I’m not 100% sure of the source but it’s effectively the same output as what I sampled.

An axe would look so good! It is a shame it’s not Unicool but does make your conversion plans a lot easier. Silver linings an all that.

Lists like this one… Note, I know have the Wreckers and the Silverstar fireteam in one group so I can use O12 Prestige on group 2. g%2BsSdG9yY2hsaWdodC1icmlnYWRlCFRBR2xpZ2h0gSwCAQAGAYb2AQIAAobxAQMAA4bvAQYABIbwAQEABYbwAQEABoboAQMAAgAGAYW3AQEAAoDAAQEAA4W7AQEABIb3AQMABYb3AQEABjIBAQA%3D
