I’m more of a Shaolin guy but this is a cool army. I’ve used Ninja before and just the regular Ninja is a killing machine! I particularly like the Bikers called Aragoto Butai. I use them in my regular Imperial army. Also you can’t put down those Butai. They may have a lower BS but they are cheap and with an HMG they are brutal butai! HMG is +3 for most of it’s range and has burst of 4! Low BS is no big deal.
The Oniwaban is a beast in close combat. I don’t want to confuse people with why that is by listing the stat lines or special rules, but if you get that bad boy into close combat I don’t care who you are fighting they’re going down!!! I’d echo the comments about the Keisotsu Butai (bog standard guys) they’re not to be sniffed at and as a linked team can do some damage. But yeah the JSA is all about the Ninjas for me, oh and the bikes.
These are the best looking models I’ve seen in a long while! i’ve been trying to resist starting Infinity for financial reasons, but I think you just won me over 🙁
The main problem with chainrifle is that it is a template weapon, meaning your chainrifle troops can only dodge if they get shot from further away than the chainrifle template, but then again they are so cheap, one would expect there is a great catch with them. I like Japanese sectorial army, you get to field a whole Ninja force, that is cool and they have more, neo samurai, bikers just out of Akira and artificial droids 🙂 but most importantly they are a force eager to advance and get dirty, that’s why kempeitai are so important a JSA Lieutenant… Read more »
Just an advice killing the squad leader is a victory condition in the Quick starter Rules only.
With the main rules this is not a winning case, although the death of lieutenant creates severe problems to the side that has lost him for a turn and is a great way to overcome your opponent.
Definitely the army that appeals to me most. If I’m honest, though, the paint jobs are so incredible, I’m almost afraid to start painting them up. If I don’t win the draw, I’ll take a look at that 50% sale and get something started.
The deal ends this night at 0:00 GM +1 , therefore I wouldn’t wait for the prize draw results. If I were you I would order my army pack deal now. Also if you’re outside of the european union It’s highly advised to pick more than one army pack (try to find some friends and do a combined order) so that the shipment taxes don’t suppose a big part of the cost. 😉
Incredible sculpts!!!
Not only incredible sculpts, but incredible gameplay obviously… Bloody nice !
Also, Mike is getting better at this. Nice to have a specialist !
It would be great to have a good long tactics video with Mike.
Yep… Mike knows his stuff. It’s pity we couldn’t get him into the studio for the demo game.
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be up for some tactics videos.

@celestialdragonking Have you checked out the Shaolin Warriors for Yu Jing… kung-fu monks with assault rifles… they’re brilliant! 😀
There’s so much stuff in Infinity that’s cool and deserves to be shown, I really can’t wait to do some more videos.

Hope you are enjoying and see you soon 😉

Cool vid! Now you got me curious about the shaolin monks.
So instead of just killing of the squad leader and winning. You have the kill off the squad leader and then the second in comand. Sweat
Two squad leaders,
Super nijas,
Shotguns and chainguns
I think I have found my army.
