DESIGN NOTES
As of this writing, I have not had a chance to play test this army list. It is largely based on three sources: the original GW Nippon army for Warhammer, my version of the WFB list for the current edition of the game, and historical Japanese armies. In addition to playtesting to work out problems, the following are possible additions:
  • Work out stats for the Rockets.
  • Add dragons (non-ridden)
  • Add giant beasts (spiders, serpents, etc.)?
  • Add oni? (several types? separate list?)
