It's the final week of the Samurai Warriors Kickstarter, and I have added a new pack of samurai as a stretch-goal.

Elite Samurai

These are elite hatamoto samurai, in themed armor. The first is in a scale-covered armor with kawari kabuto topped with a crab. Then, we have a figure wearing a Japanese copy European-style armor, the helmet is the same style as the helmet of Niwa ujitsugu. Then, armor that is designed to look all torn up, with a kabuto covered in unkempt hair.

Finally, a samurai armor themed on a Tengu birdman, and the body of the armor is covered in tiny feathers.

As you can see, these armors are pretty far out, but all of them are copies from real pieces of armor, with plenty of evidence to support the designs; in fact, there are some photos and more details in the Kickstarter updates on these suits.

Please check out the campaign and help these figures to go into production!
