One lesson in gamecraft is that if you want to play a particular game, it’s helpful to provide all the materials. Skirmish games make this not too painful. Since GCT was nice enough to put a Ryu model in the VIG bags at Adepticon 2017, Ryu would be the second faction.<\/p>\n

\"Hiro<\/a>

Unlike the Ito starter<\/a>, the Ryu starter models are wearing something approximating uniforms. That made it easy to batch paint, although it’s a bit harder to remember who is who.<\/p>\n

\"Hanso\"<\/a>

Also unlike Ito, these models are mostly one piece and fairly blocking. The poses are a bit less dynamic, but they’re also quite sturdy. Hanso has the sword-and-scabbard thing, but without any of the fragile joints of the Ito models.<\/p>\n

\"Minuro\"<\/a>

Minuro’s gun is the only one in my collection. But with a dragon wrapped around it, I’m not sure it really counts as a gun.<\/p>\n

\"Ryu<\/a>

I’m quite happy with how the armor turned out. It reads as black, but the texture comes through quite well. It’s a simple mix of thin paint and drybrushing, but it comes together nicely.<\/p>\n

\"Jin\"<\/a>

Dragons don’t just belch bullets, sometimes they have stabby tongues.<\/p>\n

\"Kenta<\/a>
Kenta Takashi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kenta Takashi was the swag bag freebie. He’s a quite different look from the rest of the set, but I kept a blue shirt to hopefully tie them together a bit.<\/p>\n

I still haven’t played a non-demo game, but with two factions I’m running out of excuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
