The Tengu Decension are now available for pre-order. It's the starter box and 5 additional profiles: Sanjakubo, Ryuhobo, Hill Tribe Warrior, Buzenbo, and the Zephyr Guard. With the additional profiles from the special cards, it's still a very limited selection of profile to construct a warband, but it's a start.
Buzenbo isn't as an amazing all-rounder as he was in playtest, but that was to be expected - there were only a trio of profiles to take at the top end of the faction, and he was the best by quite a large margin at covering all the bases. I expect the majority of the big, scary profiles of the faction to be kurama tengu like Buzenbo: larger bases, maybe Wing Buffet as a Ki-feat (yes please!), and generally being a badass.
I really want to see what the Tengu Decension themes are, all I can really remember from testing is that one only allowed tengu on 30mm bases. No idea what the theme actually did, but Sojobo is on a 30mm base... Weirdly I'm actually looking forward to finding out what more of the tribesmen do in the faction, given that there's only a measly 3 profiles for them at the moment.
Tomorrow I'm playing against Mark Watson and his Silvermoon Trade Syndicate, I'm going to try a Ito Clan Blessed warband with the shisai without Naoko and more heavy hitters - so both Yatsumata and Kenzo. Poor Saburo gets downgraded into a simple Temple Asp. I was also thinking of trying out Yuui and a new test profile along with Kenzo for more mid-range rice costed fighting power, but I think that's more of a Mizuki type of thing. Also uses a test profile and I haven't painted Yuui yet. I'd rather go for the fully painted warband.
