Wargames Atlantic 10mm Samurai

The Samurai were the warrior knights of feudal Japan. The chaotic 16th century Sengoku period provided ample opportunity to hone martial skills and those who made a name for themselves as warriors could even rise to the rank of Samurai from the peasant class. Much as the knight ruled the European battlefields, the Samurai were the warrior elite of Japan.
This hard plastic box set allows you to field up to 192 10mm infantry and 32 cavalry equipped with yari (spear/pike), naginata (pole arm), yumi (longbow), and katana (sword). You can see the mix of one, two, three, and five man strips on the back of the box with the variety of weapons. There are also 12 casualty figures included to use for scenic basing or as markers.

these look great

[@Dan-ds8sf]

Yeah detail looks great for such a small scale, and I like how they have a blend of stands and solo models.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Excellent review of these,they do look good for the scale

[@LensandLacesUK]

They are really good, though some of the weapons are quite fragile.

[@irregularmagazine]

@@basicminiaturepainting They are nice looking minis especially for 10mm. I'll be looking at the Ashigaru next.

[@randomtvninja]

I love these but I'm just curious what ruleset people are going to run with them. That's the only thing stopping me.

[@irregularmagazine]

@@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.

[@wargamesatlantic4740]

Good stuff! Thanks!

[@JBenderP]

Cheers for the review! What ruleset would these work for?

[@irregularmagazine]

@@JBenderP Pretty much any as you can base them up any way you want.

[@ejl1221]

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.

They be great for warmaster revolution nippon armies.

@@mrdelaney4440 I hadn't considered Warmaster, cheers for the heads up.

[@philstephenson5855]

Why are you wearing a hat indoors??

[@irregularmagazine]

@@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 look compatible with Warlord Epic.

[@wargamesatlantic4740]

Not really. Epic are very large compared to these.
