I need two unarmored Ronins in the 28mm scale… sold individually. Could any of you fine folks provide a link? Many thanks!

What's the difference between an unarmored ronin and an unarmored samurai? |

You could be beheaded just for asking such an insulting question! |

"You could be beheaded just for asking such an insulting question!" Right you are!! Samurai are very touchy about having a master & status. If their master died they killed themselves. Ronin are masterless vagabonds who lacked the courage & honor to kill themselves. |

And this affects their style of dress in which way? |

Ahhh… Their style of dress. Just joking around with you, Ceaser. I knew what you meant. To me it wouldn't matter either way as long as they're not armored. I like the first one Shelldrake linked to but it's not a 28mm mini. He's second link… well most of those were out of stock… no use to me. |

I have the first one, and I think they are exaggerating if they are 32mm. Other places sell em4 miniatures, so you might find stock elsewhere |

I need two 28mm miniature in a costume like this…

or this…

If you don't know who these dudes are you might want to try to catch an episode of MXC – Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. If you have a warped sense of humor be prepared to laugh good & hard. |

I found another one. Check out the Museum Miniatures 28/SAM01. It includes an unarmored Samurai lord holding a fan in his right hand: link
The kneeling Samurai in that pack would work, too, if you removed the sword. But you don't want to have a kneeling Kenny and a standing Vic.
So get two packs!

Style of dress? You dress much nicer when you have a paycheck. A Ronin has no paycheck. |

Ronin where samurai without masters. Usually poor samurai…but yes could also be nicely dressed but that required cool cash…so guess it was not so common. Just watch 7 samurai´s …not so wealty. Food is more important than a nice dress. Well black hat make some very nice ronin.
I have the museum miniatures as well but not quite up to the other ranges. miniaturepainter.dk |
