Be aware that there is a new 2P starter coming "soon-ish". Hopefully we'll see news this weekend, since they'll be at Salute.

Where would one look for this news? Do they post regularly on their FB or on another channel?

They post on their FB, Twitter, Instagram...but it also goes onto their website as part of their blog.

I'd say...right here!

Kan (and others!) do a good job of keeping this thread updated - which is greatly appreciated!

They showed off a bit of the new 2 player starter. It's going to be a box of Ronin characters rather than locked to specific factions. They had a couple models that appeared to be resin but could just be rapid prototypes. If not, the bow on one looks scary. Also showed off the new Minamoto bear. Also scary, but for entirely different reasons.

Was this in that same FB group as before? Would be nice to get them reposted.

I saw it reposted there, but it looks like it might have been from the Roll Better Podcast?

Ah...yeah, they're from Facebook.


BEAR!

Bushido things. These two models are from a new two player starter set coming in march time. They are ronin. There are ten Ronin in the box. Five Vs five. The idea is that these modules can be used in your other factions. There are tests for some non competitive 3D terrain rules coming. Like climbing etc. New rule book being printed to include all the errata.

The big circle on the bear’s chest makes me want to make him a Carebear I’m old.

These look great, thanks for linking the pics.

With all of the preorders shipped (and hopefully in your hands) we thought it only appropriate to share images of the concepts shown on the rear of the dice sets.

Let the speculation commence!

Definitely interesting to see. I really like the Shiho expanding into other areas it looks like.

Quick question!

How necessary/worth it are the various Scenario Accessory Packs:

https://gctstudios.com/catalog/scenario-accessory-pack-3

...in terms of playing the various scenarios in the rule book?

Make your own, just need empty bases.

Good to know - and thank you!

(Confession Time - I did splurge on Scenario Pack 3 though - too cool to pass up)

I'm interested in starting playing this game, I like the minis and the setting. I already got the 2p starter set and painted the minis, but I have some questions:

- In order to start learning the game, should I play at full 100 rice or start at a lower level? I already have models for a full warband, plus the faction deck, I just wonder if I should start lower or just go for a full warband.

- any recommended scenario that would be easier to start with? I have the rulebook scenarios + the tournament pack ones. Or it doesn't really matter which one I pick?

- about the terrain, I understand Bushido is not a terrain heavy game, right? How many pieces of terrain should be enough?

I haven't gotten to play the game in months, even then it was a teaching game.

I recomment the Facebook group for the questions as I have slightly backed away from the game, more due to being too involved in other games as of late.

I'd do 70 point games to start with and use the missions from the starter set. Those were designed to get you to learn basic mechanics of the game.

Good Luck
