Yoroni Kitsune Onmyoji: Building a Conquest Regiment

Quick answer

Buy the Yoroni Kitsune Onmyoji if you are starting a Yoroni force in Conquest and want a characterful centerpiece model that fits the non-faction category. Skip it if you need a complete, playable regiment in one box or you have not chosen Yoroni as your army.

What the Kitsune Onmyoji is and is not

The Kitsune Onmyoji is a single Yoroni character model, not a starter set. The catalog describes Kitsune as rare individuals who have internalized lessons from more than one realm, born of mist and dream from the Reikai. That makes it a thematic pick for a Yoroni collection, but it does not include the core units, dice, or rules you need to play a full game.

Because the product page does not list option types or a unit profile, treat the purchase as a modeling and collection decision first. Check the current Conquest rules for its actual battlefield role before you build an army list around it.

Where it fits in a Yoroni regiment build

A Conquest Yoroni regiment build needs enough units to fill required slots, and a single character model rarely covers that alone. The Kitsune Onmyoji is best treated as an addition to a core you already own or plan to buy, rather than the first purchase for a new player.

If you are choosing between this model and a larger unit box, ask which one gets you to a playable game sooner. The answer is almost always the unit box. The Onmyoji earns its place once you have the basics and want a distinctive Yoroni character to anchor your force.

The price trade-off

At USD 21.89 against a catalog comparison price of USD 29.99, the Kitsune Onmyoji sits in the impulse-friendly range for a character miniature. That lower entry point makes it easier to add one thematic model without committing to a full regiment expansion.

The trade-off is value per playable unit. A single character contributes less to a starting army than a multi-model box at a similar or higher price. Buy it for the model and the theme, not because it is the cheapest route to a functional list.

Non-faction buying in practice

This product sits in the Conquest (Non Faction) category, so confirm how your local group and the current rules treat non-faction additions before you commit. If your playgroup sticks to faction-pure lists, the model may be a display piece rather than a roster choice.

That is not a reason to avoid it, but it is a reason to decide your group's expectations first. A five-minute conversation saves a purchase you cannot field.

Decision rules for buying the Kitsune Onmyoji

• If you have not started Yoroni yet: Buy a core unit box first and add the Kitsune Onmyoji only after you have a playable core. A single character will not get you to a game on its own. Set a minimum playable core before buying any character model.
• If you already own a Yoroni core: Buy the Kitsune Onmyoji as a thematic addition when you want a distinctive character model and the price of USD 21.89 fits your budget. Confirm its current rules role before building a list around it.
• If your group plays faction-pure lists: Check whether non-faction models are allowed in your local games. If they are not, treat this as a painting and collection purchase rather than a roster pick. Ask your playgroup about non-faction rules before checkout.
• If budget is the deciding factor: Compare the Onmyoji against a multi-model unit box at a similar price. Choose the unit box when your goal is more playable models per dollar; choose the Onmyoji when your goal is one characterful model.
