War Banner Paint Up New Samurai Models For Warring Clans
June 13, 2018 by brennon
The team at War Banner, the minds behinds the awesome Gangs Of Rome, have been painting up some of their Samurai figures for their Warring Clans range...and they are looking superb.
We'll start with a range of different Samurai that will be leading the way into battle. The first above is armed with the regular katana but others get access to various weapons like the naginata...
...and of course, accomplished bowmen are amongst the ranks of the Samurai.
I'm sure there might be a few inaccuracies amongst the movie, but The Last Samurai gave me an appreciation for how the Samurai fired their bows. It always looked so elegant and patient, and yet deadly at the same time. You could imagine this fellow being stoic and silent as he fires his bow after years of practice.
Not all warriors of the period are so regimented however and that's where the Ronin figure came in; one of the more recent previews.
You might recognise this fellow from something. Post down below in the comments if you can guess the character! I've always loved the idea of Ronin, wandering Samurai without a master who are looking to either find a new path in life or simply become mercenaries for hire.
What do you think of the War Banner collection now you've seen some painted?

Nice figure’s.
Please tell me this is going to be followed up by a game?
there is talk of a game being tinkered in the background. Maybe not this year, but Test of Honour is already out there and we’re all waiting for Saga: Feudal Japan hopefully this year
@avernos Aye, I’m definitely up for Samurai Saga. Looked at test of honour but it didn’t grab me.
40 Ronin are sculpted or in the process. I for one am appalled they stopped two short 😉
and 5 more on top of that 🙂
Amazing! I can not wait to see the rest.
Those look really nice.
New game in the pipeline plus Saga I best get painting. I’ve been collecting Perry’s and ToH metal figures but like a lot of Iconic figures you can never have enough
