A New Samurai Warband For Grey For Now’s Test Of Honour!
June 29, 2021 by brennon
Grey For Now Games has added another new warband into the mix for those playing games of Test Of Honour. The Samurai Warband is now available to pre-order, giving you a neat entry point into this 28mm Historical skirmish game.
Samurai Warband // Test Of Honour
Included in this set you'll get a Samurai Hero, Samurai Warrior, Ashigaru Sergeant (Kogashira), three Ashigaru Spearmen and then two Ashigaru with ranged weapons (bow and musket). You'll also get all of the bits and pieces that you need in order to use them in your games.
This is a rather balanced starter option for those wanting to dive into Test Of Honour but it also has something for those who want to dive into the tactical side of things. There are new Honour and Dishonour cards within the set allowing you to play with the "test" that sits at the heart of the game's name. Do you impress or bring shame to your clan?
Samurai Reinforcements
As well as the core Samurai Warband, you can also call on a few packs of reinforcements too. The first is a set of Ashigaru Spearmen who will provide the backbone of your force on the tabletop.

They are then backed up by more of the Ashigaru With Bows And Muskets. This means that you'll be able to hold your own and also focus on picking off specific enemies from afar. A musket can do a lot of damage when used with the right combination of upgrade cards.

I still really like the Test Of Honour miniatures that you can pick up from Grey For Now Games. They have lots of character to them and feel like they'd be easy to paint too. There is enough detail worked into each sculpt too for those who want to take them to the next level.
With a myriad of different warbands to choose from, Test Of Honour is growing into a pretty solid choice for someone wanting to battle during the age of the Samurai.

These are breaking my will to re start Test of Honour. These are so nice
Those look really good.
Love the figures.
They look really nice! Must have about 100 of the old plastics by now but if I’m to dive back in will definitely consider picking these up…
They look great !
I bought all recent releases and want to add how good the casts and minis actually are. Nice volumes and a perfect amount of detail. These are much better than Zenits Samurai and pretty much the best Samurai in 28mm in the whole solar system.
I see you and raise you Steel Fist Miniatures
To echo @Avernos, Steel Fist have a great range, and they’ve also just released some Sohei as well.
This look superb, I picked up a copy of the first edition test of honor when warlord sold it off and these look significantly better sculpts. Really tempated to pick thise up. Fantastic
