Thanks for the answers to the original post now i have picked a mini to buy as a test mini

Will this mini work with standard Yu-Jing Troops?

1. What do you need to play?

2. What is the best way to start Yu-Jing?
I am interested in the imperial service pack


Thanks, Yellow

1. A couple d20s, some rules and templates (both of which you can print on the main site), some minis or at the very least miniature bases (you can proxy if you want to, at first), tape measure, wound tokens/markers of some sort are helpful but not necessary (you can also print these on the main site) and LOTS of terrain. You need more terrain for this game than 40k or Warmachine. Cover is essential.

2. The starter boxes are a great way to start an army. Buy what you like the look of and make a list out of it. The game is pretty balanced and not very list dependent, you can do well with any unit/mini in the game, generally. This is why I advocate proxies first, unless you know for sure what you want to play - it's a good way to discover your playstyle.

Any other questions, just ask!

I didn't want to start a new post since I am also thinking about starting Inifity with a Yu Jing Faction. I love the Monks and the Yu Jing: O-Yoroi Kidobutai TAG unit. Do they work well in an army? What figures would make a good army with Yu Jing: O-Yoroi Kidobutai?

I'm not to familiar with TAG's myself. Starting with Ariadna myself. But from what I have seen on the forums I do believe the monks do work with a TAG as a good source for smoke to hide the Tag away from things like my Tankhunter with an autocannon. Other things to go with a tag would be an egineer to repair it along with a remote or two for the engineer. After that you'd want some cheap order monkeys. Make use of the free list builder and play around with combinations of stuff. But mostly pick things that you want to paint and play with.

The Imperial Service as a sectoral can not use a TAG unfortunately but in a General YJ it's no problem.

The Kempetai can be fielded in a regular Yu-Jing army, but only if you take one of the two WITHOUT "chain of command" skill (as it is noted that those two can only be taken in the Japanese Sectorial Army of Yu-Jing).

So all it would be is an additional combi-rifle or boarding shotgun. No damage minimisation (CoC allows you to continue as normal after the Lt is killed, as Lt immediately transfers to him).

Thanks for all the answers

Keep us up to date on how it's going for you.
