Kenta Takashi The Prefecture of Ryu Appears For Bushido
May 9, 2016 by stvitusdancern
GCT Studios keeps creating some incredible miniatures for its fantasy feudal Japanese game, Bushido.
This time around they bring us a true Samurai, Kenta Takashi the Prefecture of Ryu. He is Samurai in every sense of the word and he is described this way on the site...
"Kenta is a true samurai in every sense of the word. As a boy he knew his path, the one he has walked for many cycles in service to his family and the name Takashi. A veteran of countless battles and campaigns, he is a master swordsman, no foe able to outflank him due to practised footwork and deft movements.
Many times enemies foolishly thought they had struck the killing blow but the ancestors favour Kenta amongst all others. Though quietly spoken his presence in battle banishes any fear in his troops, steeling their hearts for victory."
Still thinking about getting into Bushido and not sure if it is the right game for you? They have now posted three videos on Youtube to introduce you to the game and play style. This is a game I have been keeping my eye on for quite some time and I will pick this up soon.
What do you think of the miniatures for Bushido?

That’s a pretty artistic sculpt. Very well done.
Anyone on here play the game? Whats it like?
I had my first two games yesterday, really went well with some interesting mechanics. Having to pick how you devide your dice between attack and defence for each combat stands out as an especially great rule.
The game does use a dreaded table but it is only the one.
The starter sets give you a decent usable force without the need to add anything unless you want to play a larger game.
Miniature count is low and the board is only 2×2.
So far I’m really enjoying it!
That looks impressive.
I’ve got two of him already from the Rise of the Kage board game. a metal one would be better, as the sword is a bit floppy 😀
I added a metal version of this to my ROTK kickstarter rewards and it’s a lovely model.
This is probably my favorite game of all time. Now I will admit a bias as I have always been fascinated by Japanese culture, films, history ex. But this is a great little game. Low model count at about 8 to 12 minis total. The lowest being Guild Ball I think at only 6. Another great game btw. Great mechanics, really thematic faction figures, everyone owes it to themselves to give this a try. Would love to see a themed week to help promote this game and spread the word more.
I am going to have to pick this guy up. Looking at those traits and feats he should have been called Sanjuro.
If you can pull “Battle Hardened” off I can see some frustrated opponents.
