Much as the knight ruled the European battlefields, the Samurai were the warrior elite of Japan. This hard plastic box set allows you to ...

Why 1/72 toy soldiers are Ideal for WW2 & Cold War Wargaming
Back banners are called sashimono mate they look great
@@alanfitzgerald7275 Cheers, I wasn't sure what they were called in Japanese.
@@irregularmagazine not a probkem and the big ball made of silk that inflates when the horse runs is called a Horo
After doremon i saw this news true 😮😮
Why are so many British people playing with models you have no real jobs you have to go on RUclips and play with toys
Ion age from alternative armies looks nice, have some of the minis, but never played with the system.
@@bigr.5079 I've ordered the rule book and a selection of 15mm for Ion Age. So will put together a video when it all arrives.
I will be pleased to see it.
An excellent review mate
@@basicminiaturepainting Cheers
Why are you wearing a hat indoors??
@@philstephenson5855 I always wear a hat, plus if I shoot more than one video in a day I change the hat that way I know which video is which.
They be great for warmaster revolution nippon armies.
@@mrdelaney4440 I hadn't considered Warmaster, cheers for the heads up.
these look great
I love these but I'm just curious what ruleset people are going to run with them. That's the only thing stopping me.
@@randomtvninja I'm considering these by Helion; www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/bushidan-miniatures-rules-for-small-unit-warfare-in-japan-1543-to-1615-ad.php
@@irregularmagazine I saw this on my look around but wasn't sure if it would work or if it was good. Thanks for letting me know what you're considering tho, might need to look at this again.
Mon
Breakage at this scale is more about the material used to make the miniatures. Brass/metal isn't really an option but a material that is a bit more flexible than rigid allows for in scale weapons to not break as easily.
Cheers for the review! What ruleset would these work for?
@@JBenderP Pretty much any as you can base them up any way you want.
Good stuff! Thanks!
They look compatible with Warlord Epic.
Not really. Epic are very large compared to these.
look cool
Yeah detail looks great for such a small scale, and I like how they have a blend of stands and solo models.
Excellent review of these,they do look good for the scale
They are really good, though some of the weapons are quite fragile.
@@basicminiaturepainting They are nice looking minis especially for 10mm. I'll be looking at the Ashigaru next.
what scale is that 1/72, looks beautiful.
It's Warlord Games Epic so around 12-13.5mm.
Nice video. A few rule systems i have to check out. Far too little 15mm scifi, love the scale for company size games. Most of my 15mm scifi stuff is Wakes emporium, scaled up from 6mm
@@andersand6576 Take a look at Vanguard Miniatures as they have some nice stuff in 15mm
@@irregularmagazine thanks
Some of the best 15mm manufacturers are Ground Zero Games (GZG) and Brigade Models in the UK and Khurasan Miniatures in the US.
Gruntz is great. Can be played with individual based minis or team based.
I also like Stargrunt 2.
Best scale, but it lacks fantasy / sci-fi miniatures makers, other than an handful
@@stylesheetra9411 Yeah I've only come across a few.
Great close-ups. Very clear images. Not enough unboxing do as well as you. Thanks.
@@peterixon8708 Cheers
I was doing star wars in 32mm with the legion models, but I gave up and sold them all, instead getting a lot 3d printed in 15mm. 15mm is perfect for sci fi.
@@deece1482 I agree....
Do starships count? I love Star Trek Ascendancy.
@@matttrafton2725 Yeah definitely
Good to see the Good Word of 15mm spreads, I'm currently working on 15mm British and German Forces for Bolt Action myself, but 40k with Vanguard and onslaught is up there on my list. How are you basing them? I personally use 19mm Washers and/or Strike Plates. About the same size as a US Penny, but tend to take to magnetization better.
@@SwordlordRoy basing depends on the rules I'm playing. For 40K I'm using 20mm round bases from Renedra.
it's best to tell a proper story and really immerse yourself into the game. as you say, the best game sessions are the ones where you genuinely care and are invested in the characters and setting.
@@Engelbote117 The great ones are when you remember those cinematic moments where a unit or character manages to pull off an insane act against all the odds.
@@irregularmagazine i still remember even just awesome moments i had in boardgames where everything was lined up and i was able to get a character to something really cool against all odds and win us the game. final stands, heroic sacrifice, and sometimes just totally wacky moments where completely unexpected things happen. i love miniature games, it's a hobby i'll be into until i'm gone.
What was the game that was star wars shown in this video??
@@wilhelm992 It was at a gaming show. I believe they were using miniatures from Star Wars X-wing and rules they created especially for the game.
Let me tell you, as an American I definitely wouldn’t have pronounced ‘Owain Glyndwr’ correctly before seeing this video. I love these kind of historical context videos; it’s great information to learn, and they help add a lot of depth to games.
@@Dan-ds8sf These videos just sort of scratch the surface but they are designed to give you some ideas of which elements of history to take a deeper look at.
Lol plz don’t use this vid as a reference for pronouncing Owain Glyndwr. No hate but the pronunciation is terrible. Cymru am ffycin byth!! 🏴 🏴
@@Inquisitor_Vex I don't speak Welsh so I'm not surprised I got it wrong.
@@irregularmagazine you gave it a good crack. Can’t fault you for that! 🍻 It’s the “dwr” really, it’s a lower case ‘w’ so is more like “d + oo + r” or like a person who does things, a “doer”. Bit of added etymology, “Glyn” = “valley” or “Glen” and “Dwr” = “water” so he’s Owain of the “Waterglen”. Cheers, Bach 🍻
Looks great
@@Michael-ws7rc Empress Miniatures do some great looking minis especially in moderns.
Just came across your channel. It’s excellent. Love the topics. Thanks
@@adamfox1669 Cheers
all true
This is a very great set😀
Super look ,nice detail for the scale
@@basicminiaturepainting They are superbly detailed though putting together the Lloyds Carriers at that scale was fiddly.
Sounds awesome but please make sure you have the officer with the umbrella.
Sound's like a great project
@@basicminiaturepainting Cheers, the plan is to try and get if finished in time for the anniversary of the Battle.
Can't say enough good things about 3d printing. Currently working on a sisters of battle and a guard force in a box.
@@thulyover9000 I'm tempted nut currently don't have the space
Nice unboxing, great looking minis!
@@philRminiatures They are really nice, been impressed with all the Victrix stuff so far
I wish he made them in 28mm as well
Great close-up shots! Thank you sir!
@@derekdahmes9628 Cheers
Very nice review my friend
@@basicminiaturepainting Cheers
Alot of great tips mate
Cheers
Very good points. Thank you for the Video. The greatest danger for me to fall in a hobby slumb is when I am not able to play for a long time.
@@theshizzen3988 Mine is sometimes getting motivated to finish a painting project. I finally finished my 15mm fantasy army but it's taken a year.... lol
Great look into these, some really nice figures in this kit and some mighty fine horse curtains!
@@ShakosAndSprues It's a great looking kit. I haven't looked at Victrix stuff apart from the Napoleonic stuff. I've been impressed with these and the 12mm WW2
Thanks for the look.
An excellent look and review mate,just subbed looking forward to the future content,justin
Cheers..
Nice video. Victrix produce incredible miniatures. In the next video, could you possibly get a bit more soft light on the miniatures.
I'll try to adjust the lighting next time.
I like the dude with the hand axe about to fall off his horse!
I decided to first bunch with hand weapons rather than lances. The one armed with the Lance is the troop standard.
First comment! <3
