So Yu Jing owns the factories that build the Shikami armor, and they have Ninjas working for them, so how come they can't put their Ninjas inside Shikami armor they can produce?
Maybe Yu Jing is a bit too busy doing damage control over a relatively successful rebellion that just happened to be worrying about making a few salty vanilla players happy.
Ian Watson
YJ Ninjas just aren't skilled enough to hold two swords at once.
Carter Lewis
>sets us up for Oniwaban and Shikami >no just ava1 ninja
Fucking hell, Corvus Belli really are selling out Yu Jing players for the lucrative Weaboo market. Do they even realise how shitty this is for vanilla players? I'm contemplating buying more ISS units just to mix up my options, and I don't even like ISS. Maybe a Yu Jing boycott like the Spanish are doing is the best option for now.

The only Roof Korean we have is an Enhanced Reaction Son-Bae.
We need more. Like 5000% more Roof Koreans.

Also, who the fuck is Joel and is he on the official forums so I can troll him? I see that faggot for the nth time in the context of some retarded post.
Julian Morgan
Respond to him on facebook then you pussy, it's just on the main Infinity fan page.
Jacob Hughes
Has anyone made a Chad Gao-Rael / virgin Muet meme yet?
If Bostria wants more to drink from Yu Jing players I'd gladly piss in that mug.
Daniel Morales
Big California Warcor. So yeah he's on the forums somewhere doing it for free.
My personal opinion on all this.
JSA: Cool idea, I can dig and plan to purchase. YuJing: Sucks for now, but has potential to make interesting new shit for us. PR: Overemphasis on "YJ tears go fuck off" and "buy JSA" No sympathy for people who just purchased two YJ Shikamis and have been using Oniwabons, Motorcycles, ect for a long time.
How I would have fixed: Sorry YJ players, we know it sucks, but we feel this can result in a cool new direction for YJ future releases. We can't show you everything, but here's a dossier or two of stuff that JSA leaving made room for. Also we're adding some YJ profiles with adepticon.
Yeah people would still complain, but most complaints against a reasoned PR post like that would be shit anyway.
Hudson Cook
If I was going to do a chad edit with anything, it would probably be al-djabel. Because of his ridiculous viralCCW claw hand.
Isaiah Campbell
Can confirm as a salt mineral YJ player that I would be happy with that.
Jayden Taylor
This face has ruined my day.
Henry Smith
Oh right, I was supposed to draw that other meme.
Nathaniel Ramirez
Why do they do this when the rules question has not been answered?
I'd consider that the meme was still in its death throes when that was made months ago. Ancient times.
Carter Bell
> Nothing to talk about but Facebook and dead memes We've fallen on hard times lads.
Carson Sullivan
And it's going to be this way until JSA releases
Josiah Cruz
Why would anyone name a unit after the Khawarij? They were fucking autist with an ideology that only a Sith lord could appreciate.
Mason Hall
Spain is an odd place, where the Kempeitai used to be righteous heroes fighting for freedom and Poland loves the Teutonic knights.
Mason Morales
Me too, and I was the one who made it. Fine then, let's talk about the actual game. I haven't played in two and a half, almost three weeks and it's been really getting to me.
I have been hyped for the Ikari Company though as someone's who started with JSA, branched out to Vanilla Yu Jing and Haqqislam.
Getting a core link of Keisotsu in with Al Fasid and a Haris of Wu Ming and the Clipper for odd defense/offense with Yuan Yuan and Rui Shi will be a bit of a dream of mine. I think I'll run out of SWC really fast but it's definitely a set up I want to experiment with.
Otherwise just using Karakuri in an army that's not Yu Jing is also cool.
But of course, until that book is realeased and in army builder I can't really talk about it all that much.
I do plan on painting a Bashi Bazouk in the supposed Ikari Co color scheme.
IDK, Ask the Kempeitei, Bashi Bazouks, The Teutonic knights that have been in actual Nazi propaganda, and lots of "insensitive" names taken from history.
Or you could just contextualize and realize that the Galicians probably threw darts at a shelf full of Osprey Publishing books and took names from where they landed for their metal dollies game. And that the unit names within this Cyberpunk skirmish game has little to nothing to do with the originals they're named after.
I believe Bostria said the new stuff will hit army before Adepticon. Assuming he was speaking in confidence and it won't be delayed by intensive napping sessions, that has to be next week.
Jaxson Hernandez
We can talk about TeutonsNOT going to Varuna
Robert Kelly
Speaking of KNIGHTS, do you guys think the whole Templar stuff will ever crop back up into recent fluff? We've seen the JSA plot line explode into a real game shifting situation, and I guess dropping Tohaa and ALEPH in HS was payoff from fluff mentioned in N1. What do you guys suspect will be the next big fluff event that's been hinted at for a while? I think the Templars are the coolest dangling thread, but I suspect the next big shift will probably be the Combined Army actually getting something done instead of just ominously being present.
Dylan Clark
One of the books that's been mentioned for both the RPG and wargame is Acheron Falls/Cascade. The description for Acheron Cascade is "Mired in the jungles of Paradiso, the PCs must unravel triple conspiracies which will lead them across the Human Sphere and uncover treachery that lies at the very heart of the war." Those could be something to do with ALIVE/B4ckd00r or the Dark Mist thing from the Dire Foes plotline. The Acheron Blockade itself is the one around the Paradiso end of the wormhole leading to EI Space, so if that falls (note that the majority of its defenders ar PanO and YJ, so the Uprising may come into play here) then the CA has a path straight into the system.
Josiah Green
The dark winter of Yu Jing
Anthony Nelson
man when it came up that cb said they were releasing an article about the future of yu jing they must have had a very different idea of what that would contain to a lot of yj players.
its funny cos I like the fluff of it all from the start of this shit, its the mechanics and gameplay impact and future of yu jing they needed to address in some fashion.
but nuk we get fluffposting because I assume the masterplan is to good to deviate from to do gay shit like reassure customers.
Isaiah Baker
Well, if you're ready to swivel the moment some customers become grumpy, you end up with lowest common denominator drivel.
But I'm sure there is some middle ground in this.
Aiden Martin
im not talking not doing the split or keeping the profiles anyway or whatever, I just want info about WHEN theres going to be something fulling the hole. should I even bother painting my hac tao and yan huo for now or just paint my ISS shit. How fucked are we for the campaign? ITS?
Jaxson Ross
I don't think they want flip-flopping, just some sort of "we have a number of units in the works to help fill some of the holes the Japanese units will be leaving, such as this one [statblock]", but CB may still be working on those.
Parker Gutierrez
IA isn't coming out this year. So I guess you could rage quit Yu Jing until then.
Connor Allen
Hey, actually since YJ are giving out contracts to smaller clans now, it could be that there's potentially a new unit been produced.
Maybe somekind of power armored ninjas with a giant sword instead of two.
John Smith
Well, maybe they just don't wan't to reveal the new stuff now, because they wan't to "blow it in everyone's faces"
Angel Wright
That definitely could be it, Corvus is generally pretty tight lipped about things outside of Seminar talks. They never like saying "this faction is receiving resculpts this spring" or "we are focusing on this faction" until it's already happening. I think it's usually tolerated because nothing bad generally happens in Infinity. The worst things people have had to complain about recently is other factions getting their toys (What do you mean other factions get Haris teams!? What do you mean CSUs are usable out of NCA!?). This is the first time in a while anything really bad has happened to a faction in Infinity (the other was Exrah, really) besides losing a character here and there. So I guess the way they communicate is showing their limitations now.
Parker Price
>(the other was Exrah, really) And they weren't much of a faction. How long was it between the Exrah getting binned and units appearing to fill the gaps?
Dylan Hernandez
>I'm contemplating buying more ISS units just to mix up my options, and I don't even like ISS. Sounds like CB's plan is working.
Ayden Murphy
>Get shit on >"better give em more money, then"
Brody Young

Grayson Anderson
Fiveheads are not cute
Levi Lee
So who the heck is cobraprime? Dude comes to Rumble and takes the tournament with an almost perfect score, 15/15 TP and 49/50 OP. Anyone know more about him? What faction he plays?
Alexander Rogers
Probably Spanish. Probably cheating.
Tournaments are shit for shit people who enjoy the taste of shit.
John Adams
Same time. It happened between editions, and Maakrep/Rodok/Fraacta showed up just as Exrah left. Caskuda wasn't given an equivalent, but that's likely deliberate considering that its main gimmick alone caused balance problems (and even then Fraacta could be seen as a compromise between it and Iskallers).
Chase Gonzalez
The thing is, they don't have that big of a backlog of releases they can fall on to. If they make exact promises they can't fulfill (unit x before summer) due to some unforeseen circumistance, people get angry for that. Pick your poison.
Josiah Young
No need to have exact promises, just say "we're working on x new units".
Easton Cooper
That not not having aggressive shilling from warcors
Alexander Taylor
>They never like saying "this faction is receiving resculpts this spring" or "we are focusing on this faction" until it's already happening. They did mention Celestial Guard SWC box after summer in the FAQ video, though
Josiah Kelly
Plays tohaa, I don’t know when tourneys are that big there’s a lot of chaff. Top table was probably his only real game.
Angel Cox
You don't even need a model. Most people who care have JSA they can proxy. Just dump out the stats of one of the less weird units over the next couple months, and update it when IA is released if you need to.
Or just say anything at all, really. Even if it's nothing concrete and there's no new units, address the concerns in some fashion. Just say "we're working on this cool IA thing".
That mystery user from last month was right though. We weren't prepared, and probably not in the way CB intended.
Andrew Sanders
Rob is a cool dude, he plays Haqq and Yu Jing too and has done quite well in local tournaments with them. He started to become quite good playing against other good players in his local meta*, and this year has been his year: he also took the Maryland Dire State after beating the guy who won it last year in Round 5 and getting more OP than myomer.
*Just looking at top 50 US players, he often plays against BminusCPlus, SirNicholas, Masterofmelee, gamercurt (maybe?), dpa, Armand451.
Justin Gonzalez
People played without Shikami sculpts for years.
Give us some random stuff from White Banner and Invincible Army.
Ryder Reed
I could proxy my Shikami for shooting stars and my Oniwabons/Raidens for whatever the fuck else
Robert Sanchez
How did CB manage to make announcing a new book so fucking boring? Who the fuck is going to spend money on Uprising when it sends to only contain new rules that will be free online, and doesn't look nearly as good as HSN3?
Ryan Morgan
All the JSA weebs. According to Bostria, JSA is easily the single strongest selling Sectorial of Infinity history. So a book that's basically just JSA and a lot of fluff about JSA is going to sell to them.
Nolan Harris
People who want the fluff or the model, same as all the other books since they started putting the rules up for free. There's something about updating and linking the Dire Foes plotlines together which could be interesting and maybe foreshadow this thing with the Acheron Blockade.
Noah Rodriguez
It's a different beast to HSN3. It's more of a minor faction book that jams a bunch of fluff in with a USARF/OCF style release.
Nathan Lewis
It is a four-sectorial army plus the dire foes gubbins. It's closer to Campaign Paradiso with the campaign rules replaced with fluff than it is to HSN3.
Matthew Bennett
More like four sectorials for a non-army. Not sure how/if NA2 is going to continuously end up working together for the terrible campaigns and all that shit, since most of them are mercenaries. Having their own mercenary system of aiding other factions or something could be pretty cool, though BoW would not be able to pull it off.
Charles Bell
Okay, I've been interested in Infinity for a bit now, and I'm looking at getting started. What books do I need? Also I like the look of Aleph, how do they handle in-game? Thanks in advance, anons
