I opted to add a pair of Samurai Archers for games of Test of Honour. These guys are both from AEGs Legend of Five Rings line, so they are a bit a-historical. Basically a mix of early and late period armor, but they work well for a skirmish.
Speaking of which, I also picked up Sarissa's lantern set for Test of Honor. These make for some fairly good scatter terrain, and apparently have some rules associated with them in the Ninja supplement (if I ever decide to pick it up.)
Along with the lanterns you get a pair of Katana shaped rules that make it rather entertaining for the younger crowd. As you can see they are marked off with 1" measurements. 6" for the blade and 3" for the hilt. Overall works just fine for the game.
Love the Samurai Archers. Very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir.
DeleteThe Katanas are also a nice touch ;)
ReplyDeleteThey add a little atmosphere to the game.
DeleteJake, you have done a fine job on the archers. These are some of my favorites in this project. The notion of katana rulers is nifty one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, as my primary opponent is 12, they have been very well received.
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work on these classic figures, Jake. I think the armor is quite similar to OG samurai - as well as the bow.
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of them. I just don't recall seeing the larger Archer's arm guards paired with a Steel Curaiss. The bows are well sculpted and really give Samurai armies a unique look.
DeleteI like the archers and the lanterns! Is Mason *12* now? Egads!
ReplyDeleteThat's how old I was when I first started out in our hobby!
Fortunately I stopped growing up years ago, so he is just catching up at this point....
