Lump Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Can anyone explain the rational behind having Yamaziko on a 40mm base? She's an old woman, and rather skinny looking, so why does she take up so much space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewomie Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 being an older woman, she likes to have plenty of personal space. They wyrd developers gaver her a 30 and she was very much offended by that. she threatened a lawsuit, but as a sign of good faith, they agreed to give her a 40mm to make sure gremlins didn't get TOO close to her. After that she dropped the suit. either that or the lantern is a lot bigger than it looks. hehe (in all seriousness, i don't know. Other than maybe they are just trying to get more 40mm models out it the game since there aren't too many in the first 3 books) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I think it has to do with her Yari, that's how I've always thought about it (since it gives a much larger control area in combat). However, that doesn't explain why Misaki wouldn't then also be on a 40mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewomie Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 i think Misaki should be. Now we have mounted Lucas so we have a 50mm master (at least for part of the game) but we don't have a 40mm master. In my opinion, she would have been a good candidate for that with how huge her bishento is. Might have made storage and travel a little easier on misaki players, and since she has the diving attack, it wouldn't have hindered her too much when on the offensive. lol but that is waaaaay off topic. i'm guessing Ryu has it right with the Yari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lump Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 That does make sense actually, although I thought that was represented by her 3" melee range. Thanks for the speedy replies :1_Happy_Puppet1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 And she is Willowy, only dropping one corpse counter when she dies. So the extra threat range of the Yari doesn't also bring an extra bit of body with it. I do agree that Misaki should also be 40mm, but not just her Master version. The original Minion Mercenary would do well to have a larger base, as well. I find her pewter bisento is far more fragile than the plastic one.

xKoBiEx Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I sometimes wish I could field the minion Misaki as the master. I love her abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Same here. She's not even a suped-up version of her old self; she's completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
