Infinity: Taowu, Mastermind and Schemer (Pulzar)

Some characters win firefights. Taowu wins the argument about where the firefight happens. This is a criminal strategist who works through misdirection and manipulation, and the Pulzar loadout gives that scheming a close range answer for anyone who gets too near.

As a mercenary profile, Taowu is not tied to a single national army. That flexibility is the appeal: models available across the NA2 pool and to the forces that hire outside talent do double duty in a collection, and a character built around confusing an opponent tends to be more entertaining than one built around raw output.

• Faction: NA2 mercenary options, with availability to Yu Jing lists.
• Role: disruption character, added to an existing force.
• Loadout: Pulzar, a short range answer rather than a long range one.

Cast in metal and resin, arriving unpainted and unassembled. Confirm the entry in the current army lists before writing anything around him, since hired profiles move between releases. Playing a deception piece well takes a solid grip on deployment, markers and the reactive turn, so newer players should learn through a two player starter first.
