Guys and gals! Once again, you've left us speechless with your enthusiasm for our new Jade Empire release. In the March survey, you asked us very clearly to keep expanding this faction and, more broadly, to explore more Asian-themed releases. So we jumped at the chance to dive into a particular corner of the Jade Empire: the realm of spirits and natural forces, embodied as creatures with supernatural power.
As with every Sovereign, here are plenty of reinforcements to make your armies and your adventures even richer, more diverse, more layered, with more narrative options on the table.
The Piece I Have to Tell You About First
First, here’s the video. And then keep reading for more!
I can't open this post without talking about the absolutely extraordinary duo of Xian Lee and Lord Zenghu, a goddess of lightning and a great spirit, lord of the storm. By combining the two figures into a single sculpt, you get an utterly stunning centerpiece for your army.
I have no doubt you'll find countless ways to bring these two characters to life on the tabletop, as standalone heroes or as a combined piece, depending on how you want them to fight side by side in your games.
For me, this combined version is a real jaw-dropper.
More Troops, and a Look Back at Previous Asian Releases
We've added all the troops you need to grow your army, and we also went back into previous releases, specifically our two Japan-themed releases, Empire of the Eastern Suns Part 1 and Part 2, to give you even more troop options to draw from.
A quick note: these collections are available at particularly attractive prices, but only until the end of the month. Go to your library for this month and grab for your special discount codes If you've been waiting to dive into them, because now is the moment!
Two Dioramas, Two of the Cutest Characters of the Release
We also have two beautiful dioramas, each built around two of the most charming characters of the main release: Master Bo-Zhun and ZuZu, the red panda kung fu master.
These dioramas are personal favorites of mine in this Sovereign. They fit perfectly with the poetry of the main release, with that particular mood we worked so hard to capture. I hope they'll be a joy for painters, but I also hope you'll use them as scenery on your wargame tables, or as living moments inside your roleplaying adventures. What do you think?
Ayumi, Reworked
Finally, we revisited a hero from our older Japanese collections, one of your favorites, the Kitsune Ayumi. This time, we're giving her to you in a combatant version.
Revisiting the Jade Empire has been a real Joy
Coming back to the Jade Empire has been a genuine pleasure for us, and I hope it has given you the chance to dive once again into fantastic stories carrying the singular charm of Asian mythologies.
I wish you many beautiful games on the lands of the Jade Empire… and we'll see you very soon for the June release.
As always, we can't wait to hear from you. Tell us which miniatures became your favorites, which ones you're printing first, and how you plan to bring them to your armies and your adventures.
