We’ve gone back to our roots with April’s collection of Hanzaki from Norinaga’s faction of the Pearl. The secret pearl farms are heavily guarded, as top quality pearls can be worth as much as a kingdom. Each pearl is infused with condensed Qi, making each a powerful magical item that can’t be replicated. Because of this, Norinaga’s forces are extremely experienced fighters with more organization than other Hanzaki factions – they’re capable of repelling both armies and thieves, kings and rogues (and other Ryujin, of course). This capability is personified in the three generals, Hayanami, Hanamori, and Hajiroku, who each bring their unique skills to the table. Of course, no general is effective without footsoldiers like the Heishi, special operatives like Hanegiri, a ninja defector from another faction, or giant snapping turtle command centers!

This month’s fantastic base and terrain pack was sculpted by Calrais, with concepts by Paul Ferret (who also does concepts for our characters). Our throwback bonus this month includes Hanabi, Hanzaki Firebreather, Izdara, Mazigh Raider, and the June 2022 Bases and Terrain Pack.

Conflux Creatures has been busily banging away at the stats, and is now up to February 2026! I’m still figuring out the cobramode website to add the lore and stats so that you can find it by collection, but for now you can grab all of the newer stats from this directory.
