GCT Studios gewähren auf Facebook weitere Einblicke auf ihre kommenden Neuheiten.

Heralds of our times, heralds of woe! Through the mist, they come, treading rhythmically; four voices cry in unison,” Death! Dishonour! Judgement! Punishment!” It is a curious procession, never seen in Jwar, not even when old man Shiho died. “Death! Dishonour! Judgement! Punishment!” they call in time to the stamp of their weary feet. The mourning party marches slower than they would on parade as a sign of respect to the daimyo that the reliquist carries on his incense-smoke-shrouded back; the remains of the leader of the Takashi clan, wrapped in silk, and prayer beads and scrolls that highlight his many deeds of bushido. Alas, he is no more, and someone has to bear the cost of the Takashi clan’s wrath; they desperately need someone to blame, and they have found it in these four men. Takashi Hira found them guilty, and they must pay for their ineptitude. They are accused of laxness in the face of danger, allowing assassins to kill their daimyo. Four commanders—one of the Watch, the Guard, the Castle, and his private bodyguard—had been in charge of his defence and failed. They stop at every village, where judgment is passed upon them. Woe betide any who try to waylay or attack them, as they are still some of the best the Dragon Clan has to offer, but more than this, they have a deep, burning need to relieve themselves of shame by performing heroic actions. These Samurai failed to protect their daimyo. They will not fail again.

This box contains seven thematic models for the Prefecture of Ryu and is a 100 Rice force ready to play. The Samurai can be made very powerful, but this requires them to cleanse themselves of shame, which can be difficult as it mounts. You have a considerable advantage if you can control the shame, but bringing shame upon the wrong model can be disastrous.
