Envoys & The Dead Grace Bushido This New Year
January 4, 2014 by brennon
The world of Bushido has some interesting things coming in the new year and GCT Studios have popped some previews up on their website for Yukio Koshimori and the Kussata Kairi to get you excited.
"Yukio Koshimori is one of the shrewdest, craftiest minds in the empire. Many question his recent arrival in the Jwar Isles, some suggest his appearance a bad omen; that the Empire’s interest in the isles is piqued whilst others claim it can only lead to prosperity. What is certain is that when Yukio speaks, he speaks with the authority of the emperor and whether he is questioning a samurai’s honour, chastising an underling or barking orders, he cannot be dis-obeyed. Yukio is a representative of the Imperial Court and can issue a decree in their name should those in his presence displease him. This single action leaves those who oppose him with their plans in tatters, their troops powerless, having no choice but to obey the word of the Emperor."

"These abominations of undead are the latest creation of the warped and twisted minds of the Cult Shugenja. Lumbering across the battlefield with single minded purpose, to bring death and suffering to the lives of the living. Those brave enough to stand against the cruel mockeries of their former friends and love ones are thanked with a foul toxic substance spraying from their wounds, eating away flesh and muscle. Should their foes manage to bring one of these puppets down reports talk of them swelling like rotten fruit and exploding all over an opponent as one last insult."
They are certainly some interesting models with Yukio being a bit of a playboy for the different factions in Bushido. He can be used with any of them and will be laying down the law in whatever game he turns up in.
On the creepy side of things we have the abominations of the dead slinking around freaking people out. It's kept very close to the original art and what I think elevates the creepiness of it even more is the mask on it's face. Just crazy!

I can’t wait to see what the actual models look like. I’ve only just found out about Bushido and I like the minis aready. 😀
Bushido has become one of my favorite skirmish games and it looks like things are reallly going to get shaken up this year. The envoy is the first multi faction model they have announced. That alone is a rather significant change. The big thing though is the new upgrade cards. The rules were present in the new dawn book but this is the first we are hearing of them actually being made. Lists have been strictly based on model choice so far. The new cards should add extra tactical choice and make some models who have lost their usefulness due… Read more »
This is one of the games I wish to get into if I had someone to play with.
