New models are currently being teased.

Cult of Yurei:

Spoiler:

The shugenja of the Cult of Yurei believe that Gashadokuro have nothing of their old lives, simply vessels for twisted kami. They haven’t noticed Akoshi’s ability to work with fighting men, dead or alive, or the technique he uses with his yari.

Tengu:

Spoiler:

The legendary founder of the Haiatake Guard, Itsubo was lost thousands of years ago. The Koroko have proclaimed he is reincarnated, for the Tengu are never gone for long. Itsube now must live up to the reputation she does not feel she has earned.

Ito:

Spoiler:

Haruto is a rarity among the Ito. He is genuinely liked by most of the family. Perhaps the reason is that Haruto is not a part of the clan’s infighting? It is possible however that none of his peers have realised the schemes & plots he is involved in.

**ImAGeek**

I like the skelly.

**Kanluwen**

Minimoto:

Spoiler:

Sora is close to graduating to guard the ice maidens at the very peaks of the Iron Mountains. In permanent snow and blizzard only those who can walk without protection in the freezing winds and icy cold are permitted the honour Sora seeks.

Ronin Accidental Reveal!

Spoiler:

Many men with few options take up the sword and hire on as mercenaries. His experience with the sword is a top selling point for potential employers but Atsunobu also has a reputation for sticking the fight out… if the price is high enough.

GCT wrote:Yesterday we said that some Bakemono had caused issue with the reveal of Atsunobu. Well it turns out more foul plays were afoot as Atsunobu was not even supposed to be revealed yet. An internal investigation is currently underway but early signs point to the cultists of Yurei…

Ronin meant to be revealed:

Spoiler:

While he would have been welcomed among any great house fighting men, Tadaoki's skills are not for formation fighting or yari work. If you pay him enough you may see his unique guard piercing attack that has ended many opposing duellist's aspirations.

**ImAGeek**

Whoops haha. Both Ronin are actually pretty cool for generic-ish swordsmen. The Minimoto art looked a fair bit better than the model though.

**Kanluwen**

Placed an order last night, love the Dollar being up against the GBP right now

Also I think I might have found a couple people to get into the game finally. Hopefully will get some free time to try it out in June. Until then, stripping and painting...hopefully in that order

GenCon! All the warband is in the OP.

With GenCon just around the corner we have had lots of you asking whether we will be bringing anything special…

Available to purchase both at GenCon and our web store between 4th & 7th Aug will be our latest themed warband: Inari’s Judgement.

My personal favorite:

**LunarSol**

Whelp, I'm starting Temple, that's for sure.

**Kanluwen**

Inari's Judgement preview article

**ImAGeek**

Really cool models, I’d really like to see them painted!

**LunarSol**

I'm all in on this stuff. The rules went up in the app and look really fun. There's also two new Kitsune to add to the mix that haven't been shown..

**Mr Morden**

Loving the art

We're gonna start with the NEWNEWNEW!

Minimoto Kinzoku

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.

Shadow Wind Nagato

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.

Cult of Yurei Fuwa-Kaidan

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.

The Void themed warband and its associated Master Shi model are also coming, as is a general release of Hiroto, Drunken Master.

New preorders up.

**LunarSol**

Excited to finally get Hiroto but planning to wait until the remaining Kitsune are released.

A little while ago we started previewing the next wave of releases, with the hope that they would be available for preorder early November. Unfortunately, due to issues beyond our control this wave has been delayed. We would like to offer our most sincere apologies that it has taken us some time to make this announcement, but we we trying everything we could to get the wave released before the end of this year. As it stands the wave will be available in January, but we will provide updates as and when we have them.
This next wave has some fantastic models within it and we can’t wait to share them with you fully. For now though, we will share a sneak peek at one of the models to be included, any guesses as to what it may be?
Additionally to the above we have received questions about the outcome of our Kitsune painting competition. The results to this will be posted by the end of this week, so keep your eyes out on social media for the stunning entries!
We are busy working on a balance errata, which should also be live in January and are continuing to ask for feedback to make this the best it can be. Check out our Discord server for more information on this.
That is all for now but please reach out to us if you have any questions. May the dice forever roll in your favour!

Spoiler:

Sad to see this news, I was looking forward to seeing what was next!

**LunarSol**

Really need the remaining foxes. I've got a few models I'll pick up once those are available.

An Errata was also published that has some nice fixes. Looks like they're still trying to figure out how best to get players new cards though.

**Kanluwen**

With the festive period well and truly upon us we thought it would be a great idea to bring back GCT Studios’ #12DaysOfChristmas

Keep your eyes out for more reveals between now and 24th Dec.

A lot of these are "GW Rumor Engine" level of bad...

But at least there's some that are...OK!

**warboss**

Sadly, I think these can only one day aspire to Rumor Engine levels of clarity...

**Kanluwen**

Day Nine of Twelve:

Spoiler:

**warboss**

This is supposed to engender excitement and anticipation, correct? I'm not sure a snippet of a card will do that but admittedly I'm not invested in the game.

**Kanluwen**

It's an advent calendar, like they've done several times now.

**Kanluwen**

And here's day 10, also the final render:
