Rob Lo Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Just got my emailed Newsletter, it mentions that Iggy didn't make it in time, but the Komainu will be filling in for him. $18 for the box. I proclaim this the final portent in the coming Golden Age of Yan Lo! As much as I love Yan Lo, I've yet to use Komainu, mostly because of not finding good but affordable proxies for them. So, tell me all the goodness that you've found with them? What do you like to do with them? Specific factions they're better against? I can foresee even more Toshiro on the table now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I was hoping to see a picture of them again but apparently there's not a picture link for them in the email? Or is my phone malfunctioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarbalag Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 They were a Monday preview a while back, but I suspect the link is now broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rurouni Benshin Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Komainu are also great for Mei Feng. Being able to get into combat quicker via Rail Walking is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myyrä Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 That is true. Also they hand out burning too right?With a trigger that is built in if they are close to an ancestor model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Lo Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Really looking over the card, I think these guys are great to balance against the weakness of Ressers having so many incorporeal models. "Oh, you're playing ressers? I'll just bring my all casting crew, hahah!!" "Oh god, the dogs, they won't stop! So many attacks!" And yes, one trigger is for burning, built in if near an ancestor (Toshiro all over the place, I can see it now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condition goes away when you attack so you don't get any extra AP out of it, you just save it for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Which ancestor wouldn't Mei like? I don't know. Does she really have enough space in her lists to fit one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's not nearly as much fun! I can dream, at least. Still happy to see these guys out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I don't know. Does she really have enough space in her lists to fit one? I've played a bog-standard Mei crew with Toshiro and a Pathfinder to great effect. Pile on the +flips for the Rail Workers and they'll murderize everything they touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he can summon from scraps when they've served their purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake of Godzilla Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Which ancestor would Mei like? Toshiro? Yin? Izamu? She likes Toshiro, take her totem and the commander of the graves upgrade and you can turn 1 summon up your own Komainu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah that's what I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Komainu have Wp attacks, so they go well with Yin. And it's a 10T crew, so Chiaki is the defacto condition removal choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
