Is it just me or does the way the right arm holds the arquebus look really awkward? |

Not totally off, based on historical images and re-enactors. |

The Japanese 'teppo' arquebus doesn't have a buttstock that you pull into your shoulder. Instead, it works off of a cheek weld where you pull back with your right hand and push forward with your left. Totally different from western ideas, but it works. |

Those Wargames Factory guys do look good. Now you're making me think of selling off my OG teppo! Dean |

I have the ashigaru sets myself and they're good- well worth the price, especially for mass foot units. When I first heard about these, I was really curious how they would solve the lacing issue on the sides. They did a great job with that. |
