As a reminder, the models in the OP start shipping directly from GCT Studios TOMORROW, September 17th!

My order status just changed to shipped , my jump into the Ito clan has begun. Now just waiting on the airmail to arrive .

as a side note I also just backed a successful KS for bases and base toppers, as soon as those files download I will most likely use their forest themed toppers for the Ito guys to slither around on.

Received my order which included preorder model today. One week delivery from UK to center of the US .

From Twitter today:

Happy #TeaserTuesday Bushido fans!

It’s been a bit quiet here lately so we thought it’d be a good idea to share a few sneak peeks of some of the releases from the next wave.

Let us know what you think they could be and which faction each is for.

I'm thinking top right is another Shiho archer model. How about you lot?

I'm thinking bottom 2 are Jung (another pygmy?) and Shadow Wind (obvious shuriken but it looks like it could be a Worm)

It's probably the Shiho Ashigaru archers we've already seen the rules for.

On the subject of Shiho, I finished all of mine:

Finished up all of my Shiho:



Loyalists:

Which ones are those and where are they?
I'm guessing it's this guy, you're referring to?


Saw the art for it too in an interview.

Source, which also has some interesting tidbits!

TR: What can we expect next for Bushido?
JE: Well, I can’t talk about much of it but I have folders for factions numbered up to sixteen now. First, expect more sub-factions for our older factions, and of course everyone will get a few releases each year. The main upcoming thing we have announced is the Lore & Campaign book.

Alasdair is writing a load of background and daily life in jwar type information and I am busy making rules to advance characters with experience, make alliances, gain permanent injuries as well as devise a lot of more narrative, less competitive scenarios that may come up during a narrative campaign.

We also have mission cards that allow you to perform deeds mid-game to gain some advantage and rules for playing on some of the more, unique tables that are not suitable for tournament play but look amazing and suit Bushido too well to be left unused.

I am not too excited to here about possible experienced models . I loved Legend of the Five Rings card game, but then they started experiencing everybody and their cousin. Pretty soon half the card was taken up by special rules and EXPERIENCED 5. I don't want to see models injured or killed off or anybody getting more powerful by a magnitude. If they want to turn a lowly ashigaru into a character i'm all for that, but Please don't cut off someones arm to give them the Obsidian hand or sacrifice them to the Oni to unite 2 factions.

Also they showed off some images from an event this weekend on Facebook. I can't link pics because I'm at work right now.

They've technically already done this at least once. Hiroto, Drunken Master is now Hiroto, the Black Eagle

I guess, but the original model was always stated to be a pre-release special and I thought was going to be available at Conventions like they had done for other limited models. However I think that changed and now the older one is no longer available. I think another example is Bikou. She is a member of the Ryu, but there is also the Ninja version which was one of the Limited to event time exclusives.

The GCT site seems to be down for me right now.

Theo, do you know what Facebook group or page had the previews?

Bushido the Game Facebook group.
3 days ago

picture of what people think is a new sin for Yurei (Lust or Pride), and another picture has a faceless person with the head of aTengu as atrophy on it's hip (Possibly savage wave person, but theres another pick hidden with another faceless guy too) and i saw another picture that I thought was of a New version of Itsumagi but others believe it to be Ito Koburai (Ito shirtless samurai with two sword action).

It seems it was at an event with Jason Enos.

Ah, that's why...it's from the private group.

Good thing the boss walked away for a minute.

Excellent.

Those look pretty spiffy.

More importantly none look like the images released as teasers today .

Nope! I found that on a podcast, at least for the Shiho archers.

The "nope!" is meaning that "correct good sir, there are none of those images in the teaser from today!". Just so we're clear.


Here's the art, rehosted here on Dakka. Robot Dice Exploooooooooosion!

Game Kastle here in the US has begun shipping out preorders! Hooray, I have another Shiho Archer coming.

Dice! Marvelous, beautiful DICE!

Coming in November!

For a long time now reimagined faction dice have been coming “soon”. Well, we are pleased to announce that the wait will shortly be over. Due for release in November these dice will perfectly complement your chosen faction as they attempt to fulfil their plans for the Jwar Isles.
May the dice forever roll in your favour.

Shiho is Best Yo:


Ninjas:


Savage Wave:


Ryu:


Cult of Yurei:


Ito Clan:


Jung Pirates:


Minimoto Clan:


Silvermoon Trade Syndicate:


Temple of Ro Kan:


The Descension of Tengu:

Pretty nice dice.

Shame the Defense dice are all the same for people that roll into a shared space, but very cool sets regardless.

Did they list price wherever you saw these posted? While I have never bought faction specific dice before, all the sets of my clans (Shiho,Ninja,Ito,Minimoto and Temple look good) Though I wish Temple was more different than the Ito dice. I really like the Minimoto dice

Edit: Also glad they went from 5 of each to 6 of each. There were times (rare) that 6 dice came up.

No prices listed, just that they go up for order in November.

Definitely have to pick up the Savage Wave set, and I'm probably replacing my old ninja dice as well

First preview of the next release wave!

We are pleased to reveal the first model that be part of the next wave.

Entrusted with a powerful arquebus, Joben offers the Jung devastating ranged fire support. While not the most skilled marksman he makes up for this with passion and enthusiasm.

Silvermoon Trade Syndicate sees a reinforcement...

Following yesterday’s reveal let’s keep the shuriken flying by taking a look at another model dues for release in the next wave.
You wouldn’t look twice at Jum if he came towards you on the streets. That is until he slips into the shadows allowing him to match even a Samurai in melee, as long as they don’t know he’s coming for them!
Preorders will be on our website shortly and are due for release late November.

I keep thinking about picking up the Roses.... not helping my willpower one bit....

Kyudo, the art of archery, has long been a pastime of the Samurai. Shiho Shota, a master of Kyudo, has been training loyal Shiho Ashigaru to use bows, to devastating effect. These Loyal Kyudoka bring mobile yet effective ranged options to the Shiho.

Yep, gonna be needing these.

I'll be getting them certainly. No shortage of archers in Shiho.

Man I was so going to not do Shiho . The sculpts just keep getting better and better. Unfortunately the Dollar to GBP keeps getting worse .

Maybe I can just wait for more Minimoto before another big splurge.

There's another bear coming for Minimoto at some point.
