February 2, 2024 by avernos
It's OTTWeekender time! John has found himself some absolutely amazing Samurai miniatures that might just make the army of his dreams. Are they actually the perfect army for both Fantasy and Historical wargaming thanks to the mysticism around them?
We have a look at the range from Kyoushuneko Miniatures and explore some of the ways that the range could be used on the tabletop. There are awesome Samurai, Ashigaru and then plenty of Fantasy miniatures like Oni and more. What do you make of these awesome 28mm/32mm Samurai miniatures?

Jons Samurai find look ace.
It’s the Weekender! I think I’m going to snag some boxes of ‘Away Missions’. Not for the game but for the miniatures and use them to play ‘Pulp Alley’. Those ‘TRON’ minis from crooked Dice are a most have for me! ??? Really like the ‘Kyoushuneko Miniatures’ Samurai. I still have not decided on which Resin Printer to buy so I’ll just have to book mark the site to come back to latter. (I still have two boxes of Warlords Samurai Armies….so I have plenty in house) I do feel I’ll be getting the fire in my sole for Samurai… Read more »
Forgot to mention that I’m glad to see Guildball more attention.
I still have many many of the teams and pitch mats.
I do hope that they (Steamforge) don’t try to force new rules that screw teams like GW does to force players all the time to buy a new army. Of course I can always ignore any new rules if they are rubish.
Altar of the Dead Gods – was thinking of ECW minis also. Great minds think alike? Perhaps more fools seldom differ.
why not both
I’m leaning towards the latter if I’m honest
An the weekend has officially begun with the WEEKENDER Yay?
That’s a trippy intro.
Dax was in that episode of DS.9 Tribles
May be good for a Pixels game.?
Is their not a new LOtR series out? but to get new people interested in the world??.
Colombo the Hobbit ?!??
Did Nagash make the Mage’s teeth come out of his head.?
They may be good for the 13 chapter of the wolves army.??
Loke Good for playing star trek for the holo deck??
A fab show guy’s.?
I would have loved to have added flying flokati (cruising altitude carpetry?) to my army but I will finally be finishing it this weekend. Pics to be posted post-haste. Thanks for the thought. I will, however, say that was the company I scoped out before and was tempted to send the .stl’s of the Indian Not-Imperial-Guard on a flash drive to @johnlyons for Giftmas.
Wow my stuff is on the Weekender. Thank you. Hopefully starting the Genestealers and Androids this week.
Don’t worry @avernos Gareth Southgate will be available in the summer along with tactical geezer Michael Beale as his assistant when Alonso goes to Barcelona ?
that gave me Forest Whitaker eye
Happy weekend one and all. More ECWS minis are always appreciated. Good to see the period is getting some much deserved attention.
anothger week past
Those mice were really nice. if I had a Skaven army I’d be trying to sneak in some of those mice and rats.
True Samurai are awesome.
