Going pretty much by the look of the minis

here's what I came with. I would say the problem is all the coolest Yu Jing are very expensive point wise
I know CC isn't a good option in this game (from reading)
But is there still any chance this could work ? =P

298 Points | SWC: 4.5

ARMY CODE: eNozNFQ1tFQzVjOsMTKGUCZqBkDKWM0cImYE5oBkIBKGFiAhAE1ADAU= Army Infinity v.3.0.

2 Flaws i see:
- Celestial Guard with a MSR is pretty meh without being in a linekd team. Much better to put that SWC in someone else's hands

- You have 8 orders, which isn't bad. However 3 of those models will likely hidden deploy, so unless you reveal them turn order or in your opponent's active phase you will be down to 5 orders.

problem is none of the cool looking minis seem to be able to field SWC haha
So i'm stuck with low point models with a big guns.
If I could, id replace the celestial guard with a cooler looking mini =P

Would it still be playable ? Considering I will mostly play with my brother, who's gonna have a casual list too

Of course it's playable. One thing you learn in this game it's not the force you make it's how you play it. Some forces though will be better at certain missions than others. You can pretty much play what looks good and do okay. Having said that though, there are a few things I would change as well. I would just lose one expensive guy to get yourself two cheaper guys for the orders. 2 Zanshi or Butai. I'd recommended the Guilang as a sniper. He has a Visor to help him as well. I love the fig too.

I also like the guilang so it will be considered =)

I don't think the zanshi' style fit the rest so no.
And which Butai are you speaking of ? =)

I love this army builder. Such a good alternative to working haha

Zanshi are the main trooper of YJ. The Zensen Butai are the Japanese troops. They don't have as good of a BS as Zanshi but they are cheaper.

But Haramaki Zensenbutai are AVA 1 unfortunately
Seems like every cool minis are AVA 1 in this army

That is what sectorials are for ;D

Yeah...but I don't want to add sectorial rules when I never even played =P

And some minis are not available anymore when you go sectorial =P
I'm having a hard time getting a japanese sectorial army with sufficient orders...
I prefer the look of expensive models

Sorry my bad I meant these guys. Keisotsu. Only 9pts and AVA: Total.

KEISOTSU Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife (9)
MOV:4-4 CC:14 BS:10 PH:10 WIP:12 ARM:1 BTS:0 W:1
V: Courage

They are nice
But do not fit with the theme I wanna use =(
Anyway, I have time to work on this.
First I'm gonna start with the Ariadna and Haqqislam models I ordered =P

If you want please post your fluff or ideas you have behind your force. Like are the police? spec ops? mercs? etc.

Will do for all my 3 forces eventually.
Currently, my models are only chosen by looks =P
Then they will get a background
But first I'd like to read the fluff in the books (when I get these) =P
