The world is not as it once was.

Enter the ruins of the ancient world and enter an age of myth. Those brave enough to face unknown horrors may yet claim the mystical relics lost there, and with these relics gain the power to shape the destiny of the world.

Will you command bold heroes on a righteous quest for hope, or harness the fury of terrible monsters to carve your dark domain?

Choose your path, Seeker...

Akita left her small village to seek her fortune in Jima. Like many who do so, she found she had no unique gifts to offer and worked a regular job for the Syndicate in the gambling houses.

Expecting much more and seeing the wealth of the patrons and her employers, she constantly asked for more moons, holidays and special treatment. The other workers started calling her “Princess” to suit her lofty ambitions and lack of desire to work toward them

Wu Shuo has tirelessly battled the emperor's adversaries in the Western territories for as long as his memory serves. He endured a gruelling campaign that consumed thousands of samurai and ashigaru daily. This war without end prompted the unpopular initiation of conscription in the Prefectures.

General Wu Shuo, a veteran of more than military conflicts, hides his true feelings as he is merely a vassal of Emperor Song, knowing what to say and when to say it. His rise to the top has not been meteoric, quite the opposite; it has been a long, detailed process of one foot in front of the other for a very long time, but this has garnered him support, both at court and among those he commands, those of the Golden Legion, fighters nearly beyond compare.

Feared by his diminutive kin, Ka-Feng is a strange being who maintains a flourishing garden of underworld flora. Many of his otherworldly plants only grow in corpses, and Ka-Feng always

needs a steady supply. Now, the Council of Shadows has directed Ka-Feng to the surface world, allowing him to harvest for his garden in exchange for accomplishing their goals.

A drowning woman's heart torn asunder by her greedy husband’s apathy and avarice. Her unending rage becomes a terrible curse as she sinks slowly into the cold, dark embrace of the deep. But the raw power of time and tide will not let her die; they have work for her and those who once embodied a similar unrequited rage. A red pearl, the focus of her wrath, becomes a death sentence to whoever possesses it and a gift for the pirate queen. What the seas have wrought, no one can tear asunder. There is no escaping them, those of the deep or the red pearl. Betray the pirate queen at your peril!

This legendary creature combines flesh and sky fire, waiting patiently before striking with lightning-quick reflexes and a terrifying bite. As a denizen of the deep, none are safe when it is near. These creatures can only venture into land when the sea comes with the Jung; otherwise, Ryujin lets them shock sailors from beneath while Raijin and Fujin make lightning above.

If a member of the Imperial Family hadn't visited her camp, Zhongwei might have remained a highly competent but overlooked gunso in the Golden Legion. The Emperor’s cousin, the Imperial Prince, who had received orders to inspect the troops, visited her camp. However, the enemy of the West learned of this and launched a mission to assassinate or capture the Prince.

Though they only reached the outskirts of the camp and never got close to their target, the Prince’s daughter was walking near the perimeter, collecting wildflowers, becoming the focus of the thwarted attack. Over a dozen enemy warriors close d in on the young girl, and when the others finally sprang into action, they found Zhongwei pierced by arrows shielding the young girl. Zhongwei's selfless actions earned her much praise and led to her being taken to the capital to convalesce.

While there, the emperor, thankful for her bravery in saving a favoured niece, bestowed much praise, declaring her under his power alone. The exact meaning of this remains unclear. Perhaps it was a reward to shield her from lesser nobles' interferences? Or maybe he in tended a commission in the Golden Sentinels? All that is known is that the Imperial scribe wrote beside her name, “A rank second only to the Emperor." High praise indeed, regardless of the meaning.

The excesses of La Serenissima are varied and perverse. The pleasures the city can offer those who can afford such delights add an unmatched height of ecstasy. Such nobles completely give in to their desires, paying for the most foreign and exotic foods available and hosting lavish banquets lasting for days.

The Opulent Noble demands complete obedience from his followers, often shouting out commands, bits of half-chewed food, and spittle drooling from his mouth. It is little surprise that the Opulent Noble has grown so enormous that he is carried upon a palanquin, held up by four servants. Sat on the finest padded chair atop his palanquin, bedecked in the finest silks and golden cutlery, this noble travels throughout Venice, sampling any and all foods that take his fancy

During the World's Fair, one of the most popular displays was led by a radical new branch of the Opsedale, given the designation of Theoretical Traversion. Harnessing the power of the rent into handheld switches, the Doctors of the Firmament can manipulate their density. Turning themselves almost translucent in appearance with a flick of a switch, they can pass through solid walls, re-emerging on the other side. With another flick of a switch, the doctor can rematerialize as if nothing had happened. Naturally, the Opsedale have taken full advantage of this technological innovation, using these devices to capture potential test subjects or to eliminate opposition hiding away. 

The Doctor of the Firmament leads this box, traversing through a barrel, she looks to be directing her forces. Assisting her is an Apprentice Doctor, armed with a tuning fork to ensure the Traversal Slates are tuned to distort matter to the correct size.

An Ethereal Assassin phases through walls to eliminate key threats to the Opsedale with poison, while an Ethereal Snatcher uses the device to kidnap prospective test subjects and enemies alike. A madman finishes the box, adding some madness energy, and topping up the devices as required.

In an army like the Japanese, conceived as an attack and assault force with a strong warrior vocation, the commanders, who are usually bushi, only value the front-line units.

Time is said to change everything, and hence the problem with long-term plans: by the time they must be implemented, the conditions under which they were conceived may have changed radically. That was the case with Jamie Arantes, who was recruited for the Silverstar program when she was a talented and promising Starmada cadet. By the time the Torchlight Brigade was activated, she was regarded as a deserter and rebel mercenary, but also a successful bounty hunter with an impressive track record. What happened between those two points in time was just life, or rather life on the frontier.

This box includes a miniature of Jamie Arantes with Plasma Rifle. A feared huntress accompanied by her Netroids, wily and dangerous creatures, that will bring a very interesting offensive power to your O-12 Torchlight Brigade Action Pack force

In the far reaches of the Human Sphere, on the remote wastelands of planet Shinju, a singular military force asserts the authority of the Greater Independent Japan and its Emperor. This elite force, which combines the ancient samurai traditions with futuristic cutting-edge technology, enforces order and protects Japanese interests in the harsh and unforgiving frontier territories of this planet, which is always in dispute because of its abundant riches.

It’s often said that PanOceania is number one, the Hyperpower. Is it? Are you sure? If that’s so, if they truly are the strongest power in the entire Human Sphere, then how was half of Svalarheima taken away from them? How is it possible that after so much time, after so much overt and covert fighting, they still haven’t recovered it yet? Both questions have the same answer: the White Banner Army.

This box includes three miniatures for the White Banner Army of Yu Jing: 1 Yin-She with MULTI Marksman Rifle, 1 Gudan with Light Shotgun, and 1 Gudan with Submachine Gun. With this box, you can expand your options when creating an Army List and continue the Yu Jing collection you started with the White Banner Action Pack
