Gah. I love so many of GCTs models. I really need to find a group that plays here.

When the first Goonhammer article about it came out, I just shared the link with some friends and said I got the stuff if you want to try it out; got one hooked so far...

They do some of my fav minis, also gave me an excuse to go full colour which I jut enjoy so much.

First model for this wave has been revealed as Ogai the Skybreaker; his teaser pic was the middle left in the first image.

"All of this has happened before and will happen again, so say the unaging sages in The Temple of Ro-Kan’s tower of eternal wisdom. The Temple has fought and defeated The Savage Wave before. The monks of old sealed the Oni world of Krazzor away from their own, but some of that old invading force remained here, trapped in the Jwar Isles. There are known to be precisely a dozen Oni Ancients, but The Temple knows only four names. Ogai may be seen as the leader of the Twelve Ancients, but that may be human minds projecting their own notions onto an inscrutable culture. Ma’Kid, Taburo, and Urian follow Ogai, all recognisable by their greyer, weathered skin. Now that the current Savage Wave has been reunited with the Bakemono of the Jwar underworld, the fate of the Jwar Isles can only turn toward disaster.

Ogai is the biggest Oni seen this age since Rashka, The Devastator, and he has the profile to match. The Twelve Ancients all have the same advantage as our existing remnant from the previous Wave, Eldest Brother, in that they have Regeneration. Ogai also has Endurance, meaning he will have a healthy defence pool once he’s finished swinging his club. Speaking of which, with base +3 Strength and Powerful Attack available (Plus the ubiquitous Strong Trait), he can hit hard, and in fact, he usually maxes the damage chart. Finally, the unique Ki Feat, Riazzur’s Flight (Named for a story told on the Oni Homeworld), is a powerful control option if you have a model you simply cannot deal with. Playtesters named this Ki Feat “Oni Gokusatsu”."

They've had some superb Oni lately. Not my faction of choice, but really great sculpts.

A couple more previews dropped; first the Whale Hunters for the Jung pirates. Their hint was the upper right one in the first picture.

"Whale hunting is a significant source of meat, blubber, oil, and bone, which is used in all kinds of products across the Jwar Isles and even exported to the mainland. All of these hunters are competent sailors. Outside of hunting season, or when no whaling is permitted north of Jwar, they may take work on other ships.

With a decent ranged attack, a Reach melee weapon and the Jump Up trait, these models have a good breadth of applications. They also have a chance to apply Bleed, which creates a possible synergy with the sharks. However, the main reason for being excited about these models is their Rice Cost. Eight is cheap for a body, and Jung can always use more Kaizoku on the battlefield."

Second we have Ito Yudai for the Ito clan, whose hint image was the bottom right of the first image. He was also recently featured in the short story for the Grand Masters tournament at the UK Games Expo.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Another reveal has dropped, Village Militia for the Temple of Ro-Kan. Their hint was the upper left in the first teaser picutre.

"Up in the Ro-Kan Mountains, there is rarely a need for an organised militia as most villages are protected from bandits and outsiders by the monks of the Temple. This works well enough that most organised groups know not to target villages up in the mountains. Still, the villages need protection, and most have a group of their people to watch the village at night, stop any excessive conflict between families and keep back wild animals. They solve most of their problems by bringing shouting villagers and fire to scare off the upland bears and mountain gorillas. They lack real training, and unfortunately, layers of straw armour may protect them from snake bites and even simple knives and sticks, but they are no match for a katana.

Have you ever been playing your Bastions of the Mountain Warband and thought you didn’t have enough villagers for a peasant uprising? This is what you have been waiting for! With as low a Rice Cost as possible, these villagers will run away to find even more defenders, allowing you to play a true swarm of villagers, or will these extra bodies make your Warband able to fit a tricksy kitsune or sacred kami?"

More reveals! Kinda sad that it's just appending the post so the thread doesn't get bumped.

First, CGT Studios revealed that they have a themed force for sale at UK Games Expo (May 31st - June 2nd) which is also available from their webstore, The Deep; The Deep is an undersea themed force for the Jung Pirates.
Link to order them, https://gctstudios.com/catalog/new-specials

A drowning woman's heart torn asunder by her greedy husband’s apathy and avarice. Her unending rage becomes a terrible curse as she sinks slowly into the cold, dark embrace of the deep. But the raw power of time and tide will not let her die; they have work for her and those who once embodied a similar unrequited anger. A red pearl, the focus of her wrath, becomes a death sentence to whoever possesses it. What the seas have wrought, no one can tear asunder. There is no escaping them, those of the deep or the red pearl. Betray the pirate queen at your peril!

You can also get an Electric Eel to go with the force


Get some of the nose crabs separate


or Jung Terrain set


Exclusively at the Expo, they have some early releases which will be coming to the webstore at a later date. These will be Shiho Shirak (Shiho Clan), Satou Sadao (Prefecture of Ryu), Master Charlyn (Temple of Ro-Kan) and Kenichi Gemu (Silvermoon Trade Syndicate); all teased in the second teaser pic.

Shiho Shirak


Satou Sadao


Master Charlyn


Kenichi Gemu


Now back to the regular reveals, Eddo Ashigaru for the Prefecture of Ryu. There teaser image was the bottom left of the first image.

"The Eddo Garrison rarely leaves Eddo, which allows them to wear the heavier armour they are known for. As a garrison, they also wield heavy naginata rather than the lighter yari. Since Hiro’s ascension to the Family seat, he has sent the Eddo ashigaru further afield. They are known for their intense personal loyalty to Hiro. These ashigaru have spent much time with the young samurai on patrols and in Eddo. They bear the burden of their heavy gear, marching far from home without complaint, and any would give their life for their daimyo.

Options for Armour (3), Brutal and Powerful Attack gives Claws of the Dragon a decent melee bruiser, not needing to rely on Push attack and Reach for Melee. Of course, you pay for this in Rice, so how will your list change?"

And last, but not least, is Minimoto Koyama for the Minimoto Clan; teaser pic was the middle right in the first pic.

"Minimoto Koyama is a living legend to both those who are sent to and who serve at the Garrison of the Damned. She has served at the Garrison most of her adult life, and in an expedition into the underworld, suffered a shame no other Minimoto could bear: the loss of her armour. The only piece she brought back came to house the kami that has been named Aoi. Koyama feels an obligation to the ashigaru who stood by her when all she had was shame, and she finds herself coming into conflict with the Nanashi more often than not. Should a scout come to her for aid, she will lead the way, Aoi glowing in one hand, and an axe ready in the other.

Minimoto Koyama brings further variety to the Minimoto samurai and is the epitome of a samurai used to fighting back the bakemono horde. She brings useful abilities for finding camouflaged foes, and she can light up the area around her using Aoi, mitigating Darkness effects. Of course, being a Minimoto samurai, Koyama is no slouch in combat either, even if she wields an axe instead of a tetsubo."

That's all the reveals for this wave; limited quantities of this wave will be available at UK Games Expo and the preorder on the webstore should be up mid-June.

Definitely excited to see what that Shiho guy does. First model in that line to really pop in a little while after the initial hype.
