Bushido Profiles: Upcoming Jung Releases
With the bevy of models in the pipeline, I wanted to do some First Impressions looks at the new profiles. I haven’t gotten these on the table yet, so they’re still in the land of theory-crafting, but I’m too excited about them to wait for a release to talk about them! Miyakomo Korra After seeing…
Defenders of the Cove pt 1
Yuji watched Eldest Brother as he pawed through the tankards that hung from his belt. Each rang with a hollow clunk as they clattered together until he found one that had not been completely drained.

No armor, no tough, just 7…
