An Army Of Samurai Appear To Pre-Order For Pike & Shotte
December 17, 2017 by dracs
Warlord have a new Pike & Shotte army up for pre-order, a force of Samurai ready to take to the field.
This set features all the warriors you would need to make an army straight out of Japan's turbulent history.
It includes eighty ashigaru infantry (spearmen, riflemen, and archers), twenty samurai foot soldiers, twelve samurai horsemen, and one samurai commander figure.
A full army of these is great for those wishing to recreate the battles of Japan's iconic feudal era, as well as providing a good stock of minis for use in Test of Honour.
As a solid Japanophile myself, I am really excited to see Warlord coming out with a fully army of samurai. It is also good to see that, along with their Wars of Religion range, they are expanding to Pike & Shotte era conflicts beyond those that affected Europe. I wonder how they will choose to build upon this step into Japan's history.
Do you plan to pick up this army for yourselves?

very tempting… very tempting
Have to contact my mates…
ah, the old Wargames Factory plastics – I bought shed loads of these back when they went into liquidation a few years ago. Easily some of the best kits they ever did. As much as I love Test of Honour, it’s nice to see them in massed regiments again!!! The metal commander is looking ace as well by the way
Yeah, I remember when these were all over EBay for $10 to $15 a box, lol.
Nice army, lovely figures. The general especially looks great.
Although the historical gamer in me must note that the inclusion of mass firearms means its more 1550ish -1600 army not 1467-1600.
Yes although you can build them as Yumi (Bowmen) instead to go back further.
Ah, that’s great.
