I think there are just the four initial gangs (Bandit, Bushi, Monk and Koryu.)
There are pics of all but the Koryu. The bushi were the most recent, posted in the last week or two:

Which leaves the Koryu (and a ninja figure) yet to be seen.

Well this just looks like an awesome game! And the Ronin bundle from North Star is too good to pass up-I'll just be ordering that later tonight! Id like to second the motion for a fantasy/magic/legendary creatures expansion-im getting a bunch of figs from the Kensei Indiegogo and I'd love to use them with a good skirmish sustem (something that Kensei decidedly is NOT). Speaking of fantastic- you know what? I bet this'd make a great Kung Fu movie skirmish game! It'd need rules for magic and the over-the-top powers that are endemic to the genera, but I bet it'd be awesome! I can just see it now; "'Wu-Xiu', the new Kung Fu skirmish game from Osprey Publications. With rules for Wu-Xiu fighting, chi-powers, Shaolin monks and legendary warriors". There'd have to be some kind of Chi mechanic to power the over-the-top moves, maybe some kind of ante system, but its something I'd love to play! Just my wild imaginings...
