I've painted twelve figures. I think they are just awesome…

I'm going to base the on a single base, but I'm not sure about how should I decorate it so any advice will be welcome. :-)

They look great, and I didn't know they existed (28mm?). I want them now….

Spectacular.

@ MH Dee
I think they're kinda in between 25 and 28. But lovely. I stock them here in the US and can measure for you if you like.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, his stuff is always that good

Basing is always an issue. Your multi-figure base with the mounted Samurai and foot retainers crossing a swamp was one of the most inspirational things I have seen.

The only sufficiently flexible system is individual bases. For most of us, skirmish games that finish in a couple of hours are the mostly likely thing to actually get played (rumour that SAGA working on Samurai warband ?)

However that doesn't allow for the amazing creativity I have seen from you in the past. Imagine those guys hanging out in a rice paddy …

No worries about the size, SC.I'll check out the site.

The multi-basing of 28mm is always an issue, especially with all these new nice skirmish rules. I'm currently torn on how to base my 2015 AWI project, as I have Muskets and Tomahawks as well as mass battle rules. Grrrr. I seriously considering doing Dux Bellorum in multi-based 28mm, about 120mm x about 50 or 60mm. Which would be inflexible, but would look pretty good.

Those look great!

We sell tons of these figures – I think we must be the only people who make them for some reason.

I have toyed with adding a second pack for more variety….

A second pack would be awesome!

This figures are 25mm but can be mixed with perry miniatures with no problem.

IŽll use this unit for Lion Rampant, that is a skirmish game. IŽll just count the casualties with a dice.

@Jimwebster: Thanks for your kind comment! ;)

In the end, I tend to sacrifice flexibility for a nice final look :-)

Mark- website says you are out of stock.

Hmmm….I'll have to double check that…

Perfect for the peasants in a Seven Samurai game!

Fizzypickles27 Jan 2015 10:17 a.m. PST

They are nice figures, and very nicely painted!

Thought the same thing immediately on seeing them.
