Setoth Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 A bit silly that we don't have a thread for THE new faction, isn't it? So, anyone with the book have any details they'd like to share about Misaki and pals? I'm itching to know more about the Torakage. I love their design, and might actually buy them just to paint them anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Torakage: Ninja version of 10T bro. similar stats and weapons with the addition of a throwing weapon that they can use every time they walk. can lay down cover...with a trigger that lets it last until they next activate. can switch places with any 10T model. can bury and pop up at end of turn near any other 10T model. arachnid. They'll be awesome with Misaki and good with any 10T master for certain strats and schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ooo i like the sound of them:D Were they the ones in her box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetid Strumpet Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 And just for fun, if my Japanese isn't too rusty Torakage roughly translates as Shadow Tigers. *wink* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearLord Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow! They sound great! How many Soul stones are they going to run to ? They sound like they're loaded with abilities... I particular like the switch places with any Ten Thunders model - that sounds pretty crazy... EDIT - What about Misaki and her Nine tailed friend?

Druthu Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I am very interested in the new models, but no idea of what to purchase. I have been out of the loop for a wee bit. I am thinking of just picking up the gen con release models and that is it. Thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I thought I read somewhere that the Torakage were 6ss....but I can't confirm that. Misaki.......Shadow. Diving Attack. She can pick one target and push enemies away from that target.....she singles targets out then kills them. She can have bonuses against one target. Reckless...but can replace with Fast from Yamaziko. Shang.......high Wk/Cg with flight. fair melee fighter (on par with Enslaved Neph) can allow Misaki to re-flip cards. ---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ---------- Misaki can basically declare a duel with an enemy. she gets a bonus to attack them and they get a neg for disengaging (she has Wicked).....any other models attempting to target her or her target get negs to the attack.

Very cool! Thanks - I can totally believe Torakage are 6ss - they seem a little loaded for a 4ss minion... Misaki sounds great - I love the idea of Shadow on her - its a potentially huge ability, but the Hunter isn't the most powerful model to make use of it - on a master with some serious melee power it will be money! Can she pick a friendly model to push models away from (i.e. freeing up a friend)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Can she pick a friendly model to push models away from (i.e. freeing up a friend)? must target an enemy....and all models within 3 that fail to resist are pushed away. Will be gold if enemies are sitting on a Claim Jump.........it's a (1) spell....so Shang can do it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they a cheap minion or does Misaki have to go to some of the Dual faction stuff for a cheap minion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroFire Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Very cool! Thanks - I can totally believe Torakage are 6ss - they seem a little loaded for a 4ss minion... Actually, they're probably 7ss. (The Archers are 6ss.) The four-stone minion is the Oiran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 7 point box minions sounds really top heavy for a box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroFire Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, I was kind of surprised they didn't go with Oiran for the box. Then again, the Torakage are really, really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Oiran are support....can't do much with a starter of just support models. I could have sworn that I read where someone had posted that the Torakage were 6....could just be my bad memory.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBurner Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm totally stoked for the day I can get my hands on the Oiran! I've got all the pure TT stuff coming, along with Mr.Graves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druthu Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Anyone have ideas on what they think they would like to run as a crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLord Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Archers kind of costly as well? What do they do that makes them pricier than those Guild Riflemen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastenhate Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 both the Torakage and archers are 6 SS each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroFire Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I'm functioning on beta info, so maybe the Torakage have gone to 6ss, which would be cool. Archers kind of costly as well? What do they do that makes them pricier than those Guild Riflemen? Well, unless a lot has changed they can: Focus for 1 AP, then gain on the next attack with a (0) or use a different (0) to gain Magical or blasts or Slow or extra damage on their bows, they always ignore an intervening model when determining LoS, get extra shots with a trigger, and they have slightly more range than Riflemen... Basically, they're super awesome. Just keep them out of melee, they're in trouble there. Edited August 17, 2012 by NeuroFire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLord Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow, the archers are kind of awesome as well! Looks like this going to be a great crew to play! For completeness sake then, I'll ask anyone will for some info about Ototo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelious1424 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Archers around going to be sweet!! 10t Yan Lo lists get some nice ranged support!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroFire Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Highlights: Ototo is a giant Hard to Kill melee beast. He can hand out Slow, ignore H2W and H2K, and has a healing action. Range can (perhaps) take him out, but once he gets to something he'll probably wreck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 but once he gets to something he'll probably wreck it. Go go Torakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
