Wave 27 Profiles

Here's the current list of Wave 27 profiles.  I don't think there are going to be any other profiles, it's a larger wave than normal 6 models.  There's no concept art, but GCT appears to be releasing the profile cards along with the model announcements.

Bachiko Takashi
Bakemono Boomers
Iiju Makoto
Misao, the Grey Rose
Okyo Archer
Qimmiq
Takashi Retainer
Yuuki

Of these profiles, Qimmiq is probably the biggest game changer, he adds a lot to the Tengu Decension through the ability to move things around or hold enemy models in place.  I think Misao is next, but I'm not entirely sure, she occupies a similar spot to Harukichi, but she may allow for greater flexibility in Jade Rose theme warbands.  She's a profile I'll have to see in action before I can tell just how good she is.  The Okyo Archers pose an interesting possible skew for Ito Clan warbands where you could go massively ranged attack heavy.

The overall faction winner though is Prefecture, where they get a samurai with both Cleave and Inspiration, and a raft of cheap samurai with bodyguard, that opens up the Blood of the Dragon theme quite significantly.
