We're very pleased to announce that we have our backlog of orders (more or less) under control, so we've turned our webstore back on. We've also added some new models to our Kofun (Pre-Samurai) Japanese range of 15mm models, "Be" Peasant Archers and Emishi auxiliary skirmishers. The "Be" archers are dressed as servants -- they add mass to the Kofun army, supplementing the heavily armoured nobles and their retainers.
The Emishi were aborginals living in northeastern Honshu, called "the hairy people" by the Chinese -- the Japanese called them far worse things, and feared and respected them as deadly archers. They stuck arrows in their topknots, as faithfully depicted here! These function as light skirmishers (in this period they had not yet adopted horsemanship).
Thanks to Duncan Head for his help reconstructing these troops. These and the rest of the Kofun range are available here: link |

Oh man that would be sweet from Khurasan! Hope they come out soon before I go Essex (still a ways off on that project though
) Damon. |

They're not really middle imperial, they're more late early imperial. The Antonine emperors, so Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. Marcus specifically -- the legionaries even have beards, which they wore in imitation of their emperor. I have the legionaries and auxiliary cavalry in stock, but I've been waiting interminably for the command sets and the auxiliary infantry to be cast. I will probably wait for the command before releasing them. Same sculptor as for the Kofun by the way. |
