	*'''Keisotsu:''' The plain, listfilling LI. They aren't really good at anything but generating orders, but they're cheap, can form a core link and have a few specialist an SW profiles if you're in desperate need of something specific on a budget. They can bring one Tankō and one Brawler into their link, which is a cheap way to get a 5-link bonus on some big scary gun.		*'''Keisotsu:''' The plain, listfilling LI.

	*'''Yojimbo, Sword for Hire:''' A motorcycling warband with smoke grenade launcher and regular smoke grenades. Minelayer with CrazyKoalas makes your deployment zone a tad more safe. He's immune to Crits and has NWI, but since he's impetuous you still need to be careful. Lastly he is a very competent CC fighter.		*'''Yojimbo, Sword for Hire:''' A motorcycling warband with smoke grenade launcher and regular smoke grenades.

	Ikari Company is a private military company. Its warmonger and leader is Genzo Ikari, a former military leader who went rogue after personal tragedy and took many troops with him. According to Alper Cibilli with the Bahram, the name was chosen by Genzo because Ikari means Anger. They have no cultural touchstones like the Druze, no sense of honor like Foreign Company, and no national ties like StarCo. All they have is an edgy, dark hatred and a talent for violence. From their bases in the Human Edge system, they serve corporate security to the wealthy and brutal piracy to the unlucky. They don’t care, as long as they’re getting paid.

			Ikari's the faction for you when you want every trooper in your list to have the potential to punch up against any threat, to move pieces everywhere, quickly, every turn. Your deployment might be anemic with no skirmishers or midboard control... But every threat in your army has the capacity to either appear exactly where needed or use high MOV values to exploit a weak point in 2 to 3 orders, graciously provided by their irregular and impetuous order. Ton of smoke and high PH all around.

			In return, your defense relies somewhat in that muddy target priority. You have a lot of aggressive dangerous troopers, but they're also cheap irregulars. So your opponent will most likely spend multiple of their orders to take out 3 to 4 troopers that ultimately didn't really modify your order pool and cost you 30 points total.

	~~One~~ to ~~two short paragraphs~~ on ~~list building~~.		Listbuilding in Ikari is tricky, they're not exactly an easy sectorial to start out with. Their LT coices are trash, and units like the Karakuri or Druze suffer from not having a link to join. They're not weak by any means though, just make sure to pick the right tools. Having a Karakuri fight on his own isn't a terrible choice, just make sure to protect it with a defensive core or a threat like Armand and the opponent will have a hard time taking them out.
