Shinyuki

Shinyuki is fearsome in word, act, visage and deed. A combat-centric member of the infamous Bleeding Moon, he excells in death, stealth and being prepared to deal with any situation. Being able to react fluidly counts massively when on missions, which makes this Shadows Crow the terrifying foe he is. His weapon of choice is the Kama: a short, sickle-like weapon that can slice and punch through the stoutest of armour. He loves it so much that he fights with one in each hand, and when in motion, they are a wall of slicing steel. He hides his identity behind a fearsome mask that stupefies his enemies for a second or two when they see it. They often realise - correctly - that this will be the last thing they see on this earth, and the hesitation is all he needs to strike first.

Shinyuki is a combat model that will excel at putting Damage and Bleed Markers on your enemy models. The Slice Ki Feat is expensive, but the damage can be worth it as it often turns a hit into a kill with a whopping Bleed 3 Marker. The ability to get Melee Boost 2 can help if locked in a protracted combat as you can get that higher Melee Pool every turn. The best use of this model may be to finish off a wounded enemy and use the Escape Ki Feat to reposition for Camouflage and Distance from the enemy. This moderate rice cost melee toolbox opens a lot of options for Bleeding Moon players.
