Is there a reason I didn't get the special edition Kaeris mini? I bought 3 wabbits.. I did get an egg with puppets and a pink grave spirit tho. (to make up for the delay apparently)

Yea, as a trigger..but minions only.

Neat trick is: Have the smoke and shadows upgrade. Sprint a torakage forwards (or use a pathfinder, or even clockwork trap, with out of the shadows). have your Oiran use shadowstride. Unbury Oiran near torakage or pathfinder at end of turn, next turn lure Kang.

So by "glue them to the top" you mean on top of the lip/rim? If that's what you mean, can't you simply trim the edges of the insert to fit into the base? 'Coz, yeah, they do look awesomsauce..

Kang is a cornerstone in nearly every TT crew I've played, with Mei, Lynch and Misaki.. so, probably yes. The railworkers..they're cheap, do good damage and are very tanky (low wounds tho) and when combined with Kang's upgrade can be precise.. they won't alwats be your first pick but are useful even without Mei. Komainu I use mostly with ancestors (Toshiro ftw!) and to screen (being 40mm base) more vulnerable models like chiaki . Once again very survivable, good objective grabbers and fun combined with Ototo (slow). They also have some tricks which make them far more mobile and threatening than their wk5 suggests. I use the bushido minis and they're great, don't forget to put them on the correct base..I forgot. :s

Kang is Boss in any TT crew, nuff' said. Railworkers are solid and cheap with an above average damage potential and some good staying power. The monks have their uses, but it depends on how you play misaki. They're great for holding your backfield or camping objectives, I've never used or needed more then one tho.. Defensive stance, immune to conditions and a (self) heal make them pretty tanky. Mei can use about everything TT to some efficiency, even so her themed stuff works best. But things like archers, dawn serpent and komainu are also nice. Archers for sheer utility (hide him behind kang), srpent for the burning (2 words, shovel faster) and komainu, which you will want for Yan lo are also constructs (and cool).

I really do need a Hannah and 2nd edition hanging trees, with the stat cards that is.

I'm sure the issue will be fixed soon enough, and hope you guys have plenty of stock.
