A Masterful Tengu Wings Its Way Into Bushido
November 9, 2013 by brennon
Bushido has another interesting addition to their release list. This time around they have really hit the nail on the head with an awesome Tengu, Sojobo!
"The martial skills of the Tengu are legendary across the Golden Empire. Although few in number the avian Yokais long lives give them ample time to gain mastery of not only the martial but also learn the secrets of the kami who call the mountains their home. Hidden away in their mountain top cities and guarded by the devoted hill tribes few have ever seen these mysterious warriors. What has brought Sojobo down from the mountains and to the aid of the Tengu’s old allies the Temple is not known. Sojobo’s skills in combat are equalled by very few. Now he has spread his great wings and left his mountain home the spirits and prospects of the people of the Ro-Kan can only be lifted as a result."
Now that is an awesome model and I love the painting too. This is a much better model than the one we saw last time around and shows that these guys can rock when it comes to masterful Oriental models.
What do you think of this deadly Tengu?

Hmm. Model looks nice, only the pinokio look puts me off
Well, that certainly makes up for the Nezumi model from last time around.
Even the nose doesn’t look as ridiculous. Not the biggest fan of the look myself but it is in line with the mythology and the guys at GCT try to stay as true to the source material as possible.
This is one of the few times a model looks better than the concept art. I might have to pick this fellow up.
