Nice write up. One little thing I'm going to point out about the yokai (I love them and typically hire 1-2 myself!) is that Corrupting Essence places the scheme marker before the yokai places from ephemeral warrior since ephemeral warrior states you do the place after the current action is completed. i try to keep them Flicker neutral by cheating in a time every now and then. also I've been hiring in an akaname to follow up, who shoots them each once for the extra place end of turn from poison. Last night I even hired in 2 akaname because I could tell I wouldn't need the Flicker place and shot Asami twice with one, the other Akaname licked it off, walked forward and puked up a corpse marker for Asami's activation

I just ordered the vintage Misaki - is this for Feb or March?

Just a quick question to make sure that I understand the way start of activation works. At the start of her action, Chiaki can transfer a condition to a friendly Ancestor in range. A model with paralyze condition doesn't generate AP. AP generation occurs after resolving Start of turn effects. It seems to me that she'd transfer it on step 1 and then generate her ap and act as normal, is that correct?

I'd still be interested in hearing your thoughts on Yamaziko

Fair enough, thanks!

The how does that jive with the neverborn upgrade On Wings of Darkness which says: Whispers From the Other Place: When this model spends a Soulstone in the Draw Phase to draw cards, it may draw and discard three cards instead of two.

Quick question- shieldbearers have the rule Vigor which says: " Vigor: Whenever a friendly model within 6” uses or discards a Soulstone, this model gains Fast. " when soulstoning for 2 extra cards, is it the master spending the soul stone therefore triggering Vigor if the shieldbearers are within 6" of the master?

Sweet thanks

Sorry I am having trouble with one part of auras (and pulses I guess). Among the other rules it states "An aura has the same Ht as the model it comes from, unless specified otherwise." Does the Ht affect the models that are subject to it? For instance: I have Shadow Conflux on the Shadow Emissary, and he has an aura: "The Power Rages: Friendly Minions within 4(aura) gain + to all Attack duels." The Emissary is Ht3, so lets say he is 3" from a Ht 10 building, and I have a katanaka sniper on the edge of the roof with LOS to the Emissary. Does he get the + to attack duels? Thanks!

Yeah it seemed to me that the nature of the campaign doesn't seem terribly balanced anyway. I was a just looking for some ideas pros and con and appreciate it! I've also just realized that Toshiro is, in fact, a henchman, not the enforcer I've been using him as, so a new challenger enters the arena...

The synergy that intrigues me with Yamaziko and Asami is the discard and the Asami's swallow attack.

Does anyone know off the top of their head which issues of Wyrd Chronicles have 10t stories? If not, is there a master index somewhere? Thanks!

I love that summoning card and have been using it since I got Asami do thanks! I have made a ton of markers for conditions as well as scheme, scrap, heads, etc themed mostly for my Asami crew using the token generator. https://fauxty.wordpress.com/category/play-aids/

Plus you can protect Yasunori with the terra-cotta warrior

I haven't really thought too much campaign was and the two masters I'm going to eventually have are Asami and either McCabe or Misaki. Our meta is pretty healthy so I'll probably see every faction.

Hey there venerable leaders of the Ten Thunders - I have a quick question. I have played Ohaguro Bettari a fair bit, just got Yamaziko ready for the table. My local club is starting up a campaign in February based on the book 3 campaign. We each start with a Henchman and I am trying to decide between the two. I shudder when i look at Yamaziko's Def 4, but having played Bettari she loses a fair amount without lots of Oni and summons. Anyway, I am looking to be convinced one way or the other, please share your thoughts here. Also, please don't recommend any other Henchmen to me, I am running one of these two for sure because I want to start the league fully painted, and don't want to have to buy, assemble, and paint another model. Thanks!

Give their melee attacks a built in trigger to add +burning value = the turn. Then they get okay and have a decent unique violent niche.

A fun trick I picked up forcing myself to hire only oni for the first bunch of games was the Akaname actually have a really nice synergy with the yokai. can you shoot them and give them a poison, and then you get a huge double flicker move at the end of the turn with them. It's good with both hired and summoned yokai.

I've played several games with her now and Yokai are almost always a better choice than jorogumo. A 13 is so much more useful than bringing a model built for resilience in on a Flicker timer. Sure you can add with corpse/scrap markers but the same can be said for the yokai who can use them for other shenanigans so that's a wash. Now there are definitely times they are the right choice - if you need to engage a bunch of models or block los or a lane for instance. But in the first games all 13s were earmarked for jorogumo but now it tends to be a panic cast or a specific mission more than anything whereas a 9 is almost always becoming a yokai. It hurts to have no 11/12 options.

Okay cool thanks, was just checking because three hems and loads of gremlins is kind of nuts.

Quick question on will o' the wisp ability and how it interacts with Zoraida as a gremlin master. Basically, is Zoraida still considered a Neverborn model for purposes of Ever Changing Form. The rule book so far as I can tell only states they are both for purposes of hiring, and that they must take upgrades from the declared faction. Ever Changing Form: Target a friendly Neverborn model within 10". Take a (2) Tactical Action printed on the target's stat card or one of its Upgrades. This Action may only be taken once per Turn...

Will the Vintage Misaki card be updated? I have some guilders and am wondering if it will make a difference to wait a while.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear before I spend time building 3 and then painting 3 (jorogumo I'm looking at you)

How many 10 thunder's brothers do you guys usually put in a list?
