Character Bio:

Spoiler Alert!

[FONT="Calibri","sans-serif"]Sneaking through the dark corridors and slipping past samurai guards, Kantono Daishi is on his last mission and this time it is for revenge.
He slips quietly into the chamber of the Daimyo that he once followed and draws his dagger. Just as he pulled back his dagger to strike the sleeping Daimyo, he caught a glimpse of a sword right before it struck him; Daishi realized he is not the only ninja in this chamber. This is not the first time Daishi’s life flashed before his eyes.
In this split second Daishi recalled the last time he almost died in battle, except last time Daishi was protecting the man he was now trying to kill. Then Daishi was a noble samurai, one of the greatest in his clan, but even a great samurai can be defeated by a harquebus bullet. Nonetheless, Daishi didn’t die from that bullet. After the battle was lost his Daimyo commanded him to commit seppuku to regain his honor.
Feeling that he had not lost his honor, Daishi refused and fled the region.
After fleeing Daishi lost his lands and samurai title; he wandered in the mountains until he meet Pang Tong warrior-Monk. Daishi renounced his Bushido code and the two developed a new theory of warfare, ninjutsu. As ninjas they could do things that no monk or samurai could do, and would accomplish any mission by whatever means necessary.
Now many of Daishi’s and Pang Tong’s students fought secretly for Daimyos, completing tasks that they could not do because of their codes of honor; and now Daishi would fall, to one of his own.
He was ready for death, but it did not come. The room was darker then before and the attacking ninja was perfectly still, frozen in the darkness with his sword to Daishi’s throat. Then Daishi saw him coming out of the shadows, a large man with black wings like a giant raven. In the darkness the man offered Daishi the ability to regain his riches, lands, title and life if he would fight for him. Daishi really had no choice as the man grabbed him by the arms and pulled him into the shadows and into another world. [/FONT]

Dashi and all the others ninjas are a really cool 500points army ! They are not the most competitive army, but can have quite a punch !

You can see them against Weston + Gilbert in this battle report , with a little analysis at the end

Thanks again QT for this superb design !

 

[Ninja Status]

Really cool figure . The miniature looks fantastic.

 

[Red Eyed Jedi]

He ties all the Ninja's together into one team, way to go SOV! To the copy shop I must go, I'm looking forward to getting him and them all together on the battlefield very much!

 

[bobinchese]

The Shiori link links you to battleplan. Is that supposed to happen?

 

[MegaSilver]

I know that El Diabolo will like him.

He's awesome!

 

[lefton4ya]

Sweet! Now my How would you help the Ninjas has an answer. My only wish was if he was Aquilla or Valkrill (they need Ninjas too). Shiori becomes awesome with them.

 

[Tiranx]

I have found that Kumiko and especially Shiori are very effective with Daishi. Shiori gets to have a boost from all the order markers on her that she doesn't have to spend now to activate.

I really want to figure out the best combo of ninjas with the Sacred Band now.

 

[El Diabolo]

I know that El Diabolo will like him.

He's awesome!

Aw thanks MegaS... I think you're pretty cool too!

Thanks @MegaSilver!

I got to play two games with this guy the other day on Fulcrum. I had the 500 point "ninja" army and Hosey was using Omegacron, snipersx2, and repulsorsx3. I lost one, then won one. This guy really helps overcome the frail nature of the ninjas, leading to a fun and *somewhat* competitive army. I agree that Shiori gets the most benefit from him. Fun, well designed unit. Thanks.

I keep getting an Invalid Security Token error when clicking the pdf download link.

 

[ollie]

Chop the stray "&act=down" off the end, like this if I've done it right.

 

[superfrog]

Fixed, and I've taken control of the OP.

Nice superfrog, did not notice you were a Mod. Now we need to get you those robes!

What robes?

(I'm a very limited mod, just in the C3V and SoV forums).

Uncanny speed!
