Popular Post Nef Posted February 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hey Wyrdos! It's Monday and that means more previews!! This week we are bringing you the other half of the Undying encounter box. This week we are taking a look at Minako Rei and her Katashiro! Last week we looked at Manos and the Mourners. This week we look at Minako Rei and the Katashiro, the other side of the Undying box. Minako Rei is the last surviving member of the Order of Balance, whose job it was to hunt down the corrupted sorcerers who used their magics to feed on the souls of peasants, using the energy to extend their lives. After her Order was wiped out by the traitor, Manos, she became single-minded in her pursuit of the Jiangshi and the evil Manos. On the table, Minako Rei is a force to be reckoned with. She is able to use kharma to seal another's fate, causing an enemy to suffer any damage that Minako herself suffered. Perhaps most notably, Minako is able to create the Katashiro that she uses to aid her in her mission. The Katashiro are paper creations brought to life with magic. They are able to attack immediately upon being summoned or placed, and they are able to turn into origami cranes to place themselves in new locations. As constructs and Oni, they can find a home in many Ten Thunders crews. These three models join forces with the Wanyudo, a moving, flaming wheel in order to hunt down Manos and bring balance at last. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this not seem like a bad idea to anyone? I make paper constructs and then put them with a giant wheel of fire... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Manos actually stands for Malifaux National Organization for Safety? Maybe he's just out there trying to stop this vicious ninja who runs with scissors and lets a fire wheel potentially torch some innocent origami people? 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirai has been skipping with shears for years now and never killed anyone she didn’t intend to. Minako will be fine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinn Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 So... Katashiro are Oni and constructs huh? Given that Asami really likes scrap markers and given that none of the other models she summons drop any markers, what do you think the chances are that Katashiro have a rule ("Only Paper" or something) that means that they don't drop scrap markers on death? Perhaps more likely, they may be peons meaning Asami wouldn't be able to summon them. If they do drop scrap, and they're minions, then Asami is going to have a field day with them. I am really excited about these models either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really excited about these models either way. It is important to remember that models that sacrifice don't drop markers anyways, so in terms of scrap generation, summoning a Katashiro just to kill will probably be worse than just using the trigger on Obsidian Oni or Ohaguro or Yokai to drop scrap/corpse markers. As for them being killed instead, there's not much difference than any other summoner and killing their summons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 these models are aesthetically more similar at the last wave..compared to the ress. side of the box. anyway i can't wait to try them with levi! great job guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtest Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 The Undying reminds me of the Starter Set. This new versus pack looks better than last one in every way. There should be a part 3 next Monday, which introduces the Grave Golem and the Katashiro. I hope the preview of Bayou Bash can be relaunch the third next Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Sorrowsong Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've no TT models, but man do I like the idea of linking my wounds to another model. Must be the Zoraida in me. How cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I wonder if Wyrd is going to post the rules online for these... Otherwise, I think this will be the first time a model and stat card has come out before the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
