Could anyone comment on these beyond "they paint up well"? Thanks in advance.

Weak on pikemen. Mounted figure with sword adds pleasant variety to other ranges. I used to have virtually every kind of 15mm Japanese before I switched to 10mm; I'd say you should stick to Two Dragons and Naismith. And I found Lancashire (I think they were – this was a long time ago) had flimsy ankles and some swordsmen trying to cut off their own sashimono.

Thanks very much. Are Naismith's Samurai any bigger than their Koreans? I find their Koreans tiny.

I'm afraid I did them in the last millennium, so I can't remember very well. As far as I recall, they were a bit on the slender side, but not unacceptably. Their gun … OK, not samurai, but you should have quite a lot of ashigaru in a Sengoku army … is the best on the market.
