  1. I have been building a list like this for a bit, along with a forum for this army book.

    The list thread is here...http://w11.zetaboards.com/ClansofNIppon/topic/8758731/1/#post8072609

  5. Try Urban Wars' Sumo Bodyguards, and Bushido's Sumos, they are pretty much exactly what you are looking for.

  6. At first ...

    ... I was a little astonished to see 1/72 = 25 mm figures in the list, given that Warhammer uses 1/64 = 28 - 1/56 = 32 mm miniatures. Then again, the European, African/Arabic and far Eastern armies would never meet, so converting to 1/72 makes sense -- especially if people want their troops to do double duty with Milton Bradley's «Samurai Swords» or Zvezda's «Samurai Battles». The smaller the figures, the more of them fit on the table, and large units always look more impressive. :-)

    Well, given that Zvezda only offers very few poses in their little boxes, making especially their mounted troops look like cloned imperial Stormtroopers, here is a tiny company that produces excellent Chinese, Korean and feudal Japanese soldiers and civilians in 1/72 scale. I am not associated with them in any way:

    This is a company that produces heating equipment and where Mr. Lauble works during the day, so do not harass them with phone calls about miniature figures.

    Instead, head over to Hagen Miniatures to look at DT Models products and order them:

  10. Hey, why under Great Guard they have "Kenjutsu" as a special rule but under unit description it doesn't describe what kenjutsu is or does

    1. That's a bug, Kenjutsu was an older army-wide special rule. It no longer applies to the Great Guard.

    2. Thank you for your fast reply. I want to say I love your work, amazing job on everything. It made me get back into the game. I now have 4k points of Estalia and I am now completing Nippon.
