When Warlord announced Test of Honour, many of us magpies said "but I've got some Japanese" after our short lived expedition into the world of Osprey's Ronin series. I know Pooch is working on some and Tank has plenty at home (the Perry models shown here are formerly his!) and Scotty and Pelarel have a bunch waiting to be done. Magpieism man....it's a killer.
So here are mine:
 |
| Masahiro, the Warrior Monk, and his companions - the wise and dedicated Samurai. |
 |
| The Sergeant and Ikko Ikki Flag bearer |
 |
| The Loyal Spearmen |
 |
| The Loyal Teppo |
 |
| One Ronin Thug in sweet, sweet hat |
The characters and the Ronin come from the Zenit Miniatures Kensei range and they are really cool. If I decide I need to expand this army, I'll be picking up some of their Sohei with yari and Sohei with yumi - possibly even mounted!
And now to actually play it. I have no idea if Masahiro, the Warrior Monk (who appears to be some sort of special character) is any good but I also don't care because that model is sweet! I have a Geisha model from Zenit that's currently doing duty as an HVT in Infinity but she might come back to the future for Test of Honour. Who knows?
And now all I have to do is hope we don't get overhauled with enthusiasm for the retro-excitement that is Shadow War Armageddon....
