Gashadokuro are mainly mindless, but somehow Satou Hatchi is not. It’s become apparent that not even his death can make him forget his extensive training and use of his now-mouldering battle gear and rusty weapons. Even more disturbing to his Yuta mistresses’ is that he has begun leading other skeletons into battle, much as he did in life! Usually, when the Yuta fashion a Gashadokura, only the bones break the earth’s skin to rise and serve again; the intellect and life spark of who they once were are long gone. Not so in Satou Hatchi’s case; there has been corruption in an already corrupt process!

For a Cult of Yurei player, the Gashodokuro offer a superb front line of models which are very difficult to remove. Satou Hatchi takes this one step further, as he is more resilient than a regular skeleton offering very respectable damage output compared to others of his ilk. He served in life, serving even harder in death.

Blister contains one miniature, 30mm base and full colour profile card.

The number three is synonymous with those who deal death from the shadows. That’s why Fuma wields a three-sectioned staff against her enemies. Fuma can use it with each “end section” in one hand while having the centre block incoming blows. Or she can swing the whole weapon granting her extra reach and power. No matter what she decides, this skilled assassin of the infamous North Star has options, and in her line of work, options are paramount to survival.

With two weapon options, built-in Blind Bombs, Activation Removal and great melee options, Fuma will be an excellent toolbox for any Ninja Warband exemplifying the North Star way. In addition, Fuma comes packed with the North Star Theme card offering a whole new playstyle for the House that prepares for any eventuality.

Blister contains one miniature supplied with a 30mm base and 6 full colour profile cards.

Hiroto has returned to the Jwar Isles, but he is in no fit state to either raise hope in those scattered forces of the Shiho who still harbour loyalties nor incite fear in those that took all that was precious from his family.

While he has not yet progressed to making weapons, Kinzoku is considered a master armour smith. The Armor Smiths most often accompany the Minimoto Army to war as they both maintain the army's gear, but they also choose the worthy unblessed to gift with a new suit of armour, allowing them to truly become Ashigaru.

Upon joining the house, Nagato began to learn the twin Hook Swords. These weapons, more than most, require intense training. Students spend 16 hours every day with the weapon and must still attend to other duties and see off any Worms looking for promotion. Nagato set their determination and struggled through hours and days of rote learning creating muscle memory until she was pronounced ready.

The Void is the antithesis of those from the Temple of Ro-Kan, the direct opposite in every way, shape and form. If Ro-Kan is light, then the Void is its shadow; it is the night to their day, and the most obvious observation is the Yin to their Yang. Unlike the monks of the Ro-Kan, they have no Ki. None. Life and time generate Ki; the Void monks seek to destroy it. The Void aims to return everything to a glorious state of nothing, darkness, silence, and Void. What the Temple of Ro-Kan builds, the Void monks seek to eradicate.

The Master of the Void Monks, a force of entropy and corruption, a son of the Black Sun and Destroyer of Worlds. The death of time. The death of light. The death of existence.  Eternal night. The circle turns. The suns dim. Erase the living. A chorus sings.  

The Ghost of Fuwa is a tale older than the Empire's rulership of the Jwar Isles. In the story, the spirit appears and causes suffering and sorrow in Fuwa until a lowly monk tries to banish it, learning it was wronged in life and must be appeased. Its ghostly hands escape the lantern looking for flesh to squeeze and choke, such a spirit is an obvious draw for the cult of Yurei. How much of the story is true, we cannot guess, as it comes to us from the Ito clan, allies of duplicity. 

Remember that most of the time, when it comes to Jima and the Silver Moon Syndicate, The House Always Wins... well. Enter young Fuku, a man of marvel with cards, dice, lee-rets, bluffing, blinding, and bidding. One night, he won so much that he earned the eternal ire of one of the underbosses, Deikuo. Deikuo was convinced that Fuku was somehow cheating but could not work out how. All he knew was that Fuku played large and loud, leaving the table just before his luck would surely turn for the worse. He even sent several of his thugs after Fuku, but strangely enough, they all suffered extremely "unlucky" accidents.

Determined to make Fuku lose, Deikuo used a considerable portion of his wealth to offer to the Rakki to make Fuku lose on a costly hand of cards. It's said that this is how the Rakki got that slight smile on the side of his mouth because Fuku won the hand, costing not only the players but Deikuo himself all they possessed. You can't bet against luck, it seems. After winning, even more, he drew the unwanted attention of the Oyabun of the Golden Dawn, who made him an offer he could simply not refuse; you can't play games of chance when you're dead, so he now works for the Silvermoon Trade Synidicate, because as anyone knows, those who the Golden Rakki will not, or cannot, interfere with are valuable.

Like many models in the Silvermoon Trade Syndicate, Fuku is not taken for his overt combat ability. Instead, his collection of luck-altering abilities fits in well with the Silvermoon's existing re-roll mechanics. Gamblers' Ruin can cause even the most skilled model to simply have an unlucky roll, and Misfortune can cause glancing blows to turn into fatal hits.

Mina was born in a small fishing village on the coast below the Rokan mountains, where she loved to swim and play in the sea. She swam gracefully, even managing to use the force of the waves to propel her toward the beach at great speed, and by doing this, she could perform incredible stunts and crowd-pleasing acrobatics. The locals called her a 'water dancer'. Her life was one of sand, sea, and surf; she felt balanced and harmonious and sought to learn more about these feelings and her place in the universe.

That is why she went to the temple of Ro-Kan, to learn more about the wonders of the world and the force that binds it all together. She has been given instruction and teaching, and because of her affinity with the ocean, she can summon sea water to aid in her and others' defence. Her powers are inextricably linked with the tides' pull and the moon's stages.

The Moon Lions are well known for their stealth and their savagery, and it is because they share these traits with the members of the Bleeding Moon that they have incorporated these animals into their ever-broadening arsenal. These creatures live in the immediate surrounds of the Bleeding Moon's hidden stronghold, where they are known to eat the unwary, unwanted, and uninitiated. Occasionally the Bleeding moon finds a cub that can be trained and taken with them.

Sadly the Moon Lions are notorious for reverting to their instincts after only a handful of mission together before fleeing back into the wild. However, Neko proves to be different and has become one of the Bleeding moon, showing no signs of wanting to return to his natural habitat, quite the contrary, he seems more at home within their ranks than most initiates!

While only a new ashigaru and just out of training, Kokkio significantly influences the Takashi's tactics. He has learned to use the more recent version of the Dragon Clan's arquebus weapons. While undergoing training, Kokkio sought to use the movement - and distance - of the banners that lined the training area to significant effect. With each twist and turn of the flag in the wind, he could adjust his shots accordingly, becoming far more accurate and decidedly deadlier. He mentioned his technique to his Gunso, who has now incorporated a series of banners on the battlefield to help the gunline get the most out of their weapons and training.

The Prefecture can bring a surprising amount of ranged firepower. A line of arquebuses is sure to be something no opponent would want to approach. Kokkio improves all of their ranged abilities and, with his armour and enough Melee Pool to defend, can fend off melee retaliation. The usual black powder gunline is excellent for this, but consider Matsu, The Grey Pilgrim, and even the Dragons themselves!
