Hiya, looking for some advice on what to polish off my lists with, bought the yu jing starter and some good looking extra figs, always the best reason to buy figures!
Thingking of getting some shaolin or kuange shi as they both look like a laugh, or am I missing anything obvious, as very new to the game?
Cheers ears

Going to quickly point you in the direction of (my) No.33's thread here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/514448.page which gives an example list at the end.

But, It is very similar to the way you are going, so i would say stick with it!

Note the Celestial Guard Khang Shi version (rather than the hacker) for smoke grenades (as a difference to the Hacker).

However i would also advise you to start a little smaller. 100-150 points is best for a beginner to play with from what i have heard. Not that you shouldnt have a plan for a 250-300 point list of course!

I would also be careful of having both the Guilang, Tiger, and Aragoto all essentially attacking from their own, it leaves them easily cornered or focussed on for them to be effective...similar for a singler Domaru as well actually but you can keep some of the other models backing him up at least as he isnt as fast...

Just a couple things from what i know (little at this stage im afraid, sorry)

Do you need a controller to use kuage shi? I use aleph app to make lists and it does not say anything about it being an illegal list without one.

Yes you do, i dont think aleph has the capability of picking out a specific item like that, but it is needed...

Try it on the Army Builder from the official site and it gives the correct error message 'a Kuang Shi control device is required in order to align Kuang Shi' (bit of a Spanish/English translation error in the middle but its pretty clear)

But the control device dude is mostly incorporated for the smoke grenade launcher which is hugely effective. Or you can use Shaolin's for the same thing...
