Title: " Ronin " Hood....Ronin Hood...
Post by: AndyW on January 02, 2015, 06:52:08 PM
So while having the other set worked on in the Medieval Era and having a soft spot for Asian games and Rpg's, i decided to get these done..Take a look and let me know your thoughts on them whilst they are still sketches.

First we have the hero's:

1) “Roban” the Hood. The young one time lord returned to his lands and finding it governed by a corrupt Governor. He carries his Yumi and his grandfathers Daisho

2) Mariako. Our heroine, she has run away from the court to join her beloved in the forests and uses her healing skills and kindness to help the peasants who they defend.

3) “ Little” Jo’ho. Since returning home, Roban has met up with the leader of the bandits living in the surrounding forests, a giant of a man by the name of Jo’ho. It amuses the men to call him little.

4) Tuku, the Monk. A rotund man, with many vices such as drink and food. A sake gourd hangs around him never far from his lips.

All the traditional Robin Hood senarios can be used for this along with new ones  :D

Can't wait to see what you do with the other merry men. Or even what you'll call the merry men.  :D ;)

Hi all and glad to see the ideas been welcomed :) I guess this will make it my New Years Project

Haha, brilliant!

Can't wait to see what you do with the other merry men. Or even what you'll call the merry men.  :D ;)

Well just working on names and such for the map so feel free to drop suggestions down for anything you think of, at the moment we have the great forest of Shu Wud

Lovely idea. The idea of a Norimono being held up in the forest is something I would like to see ;)

Consider that one adapted :) The Norimono Clan as bad guys it is.

As a fat greedy tax collector type i thought this would suit

(http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w470/BOFStudio/FatMerchant_zpsece986c3.png) (http://s1077.photobucket.com/user/BOFStudio/media/FatMerchant_zpsece986c3.png.html)

Have the two main villains being worked on so these are early types that will probably find their place elsewhere unless people think they suit.

Lord Oyu Rotta, The Governor of Norhigan, Ruling the Ronin’s lands on behalf of the Prince he serves with utter contempt and loathing for those beneath him.

Gytio of Gizboko. His ruthless henchman. He controls the governors men, His clothing emphasises his build and power.

Very good indeed although might I humbly suggest the name of Shi-Woda for the forest as it's more in keeping with the Japanese language style  :)

Some samurai in their day clothes would also be welcome.

No, no - Norimono is a litter used by the wealthy:

The idea is not to have any sculpts done that are quite as static as the artwork shows. give them a little movement and such. :)

Ninja....now we need a good name for them...Terrifying yet comical i think ?

As for other bits, what do you guys think it needs ? or whose missing ?

So, while i am waiting to see how a few pictures end up in reality and painting a few proxy pieces up to test decided to get a little bit of a campaign map done. Let me know if you have any suggestions for places and such

You can always do a "good warlord" campaigning outside the lands and the good guys waiting is return while fighting for freedom.
A kind of King Richard the Lionheart.
Also you could use some rank and file men for both sides. :D

Slow progress on this for the moment but have just had a couple of WIP's on some back for example:

(http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w470/BOFStudio/Ronin%20Hood%20_zpsqggym9cp.png) (http://s1077.photobucket.com/user/BOFStudio/media/Ronin%20Hood%20_zpsqggym9cp.png.html)

His right hand will be carrying the Tetsubo ala this image:

Once these four are done i will be passing along the images for the first four, Ronin and his merry band :)

So...I'm about to speak to a sculptor over doing three or four " armed " guards to go with our evil magistrate and was thinking what would appeal ? Armoured ? no Armour ? Separate poseable heads and weapon hands ala Crooked Dice ?

Let me know your thoughts guys
Title: Re: " Ronin " Hood....Ronin Hood...
Post by: rumacara on April 03, 2015, 12:03:00 PM
Armoured guards are always welcome and they can be used as rank and file figures.
Separated heads and hands with weapons gives a lot more variety in terms of gaming but you will have to make more molds (one for the body, one for the hand/weapon and one for the head).

Personally I would be more interested in I armoured or lightly armoured guys. Mostly because their is an adundance of 28mm armoured samurai but far fewer unarmoured ones. Either would be cool though.
Title: Re: " Ronin " Hood....Ronin Hood...
Post by: OSHIROmodels on April 04, 2015, 11:52:37 AM
Unarmoured would be the best choice. How many Kurasawa films have we seen where the antagonists have a plethora of 'extras' to get stabbed, slashed and beaten up by Toshiro Mifune  :D

Separate heads and weapons would be an excellent move also so with only a couple of torsos there would be plenty of options.

Nice art work. Only comment is that Japanese bows don't tend to be held at the centre but used asymmetrically.

I believe it would be a nice touch if the upper part of the dress (over one of the shoulders) would be folded down, leaving exposed not the bare shoulder (for obvious reasons) but an undergarment.

Hi Andy
These look as good as the previous ones.

You indicated that they would be available in may. Have I missed them or has there been a delay.

Looking forward to seeing the greens from these

The angle of the Katana is not correct with the orientation of the hands.
And the way they hold it too :
The two hands are always aligned (knuckles aligned) and the little finger of the left hand covers the end of the kashira (end pommel)

The end of the saya (scabbard) is generally flat.

Got to get round to painting the ones I got off you back at Phalanx - the new ones are looking good!

I do have to agree on the comment about the bow - watched a local kyudo contest in Seki last year and it seemed to be the done thing to raise the bow higher?

Hi
I have been watching this for a while, are these figures available? If so how do we get them. I love the civilians and unarmored figures.

Thanks

The Civilians and Unarmored are due to go down to the casters in the new year, along with a set of unarmoured Ronin types and a couple of Shugenja as we as, a Noble family set, and a Palanquin ( normimono ) 

Been working on some base rules for them and at the stage where i am wondering if Small handy Profile cards might be a good idea.

I love the poses and drapery of the robes, but unless it's the pictures, the faces look a bit soft and might not come too well through moulding.
Title: Re: " Ronin " Hood....Ronin Hood...
Post by: Jakar Nilson on January 13, 2016, 06:07:11 PM
Yeah, they do look soft. At first, I thought they were 15mm sculpts. Because of the fact that I've been doing a lot of 15mm sculpting.

Please consider to do a Palanquin and some carriers with bagas or other Lord things, I think can play many scenarios with them. Unarmored samurai with yaris and yumi are the best option in my opinion!! ;D

Some pictures up there with a little more light but waiting on better ones from a more talented hand :) Will post some up later tonight :)

Also have added a simple little ruleset that we tried out at Phalanx, seemed to go down very well.

Post by: AndyW on June 26, 2016, 12:05:33 PM
I’ll try and get another game in with one of the lads this week and take a few pictures to better describe how a game runs. :)

The idea i went with was to keep it quick and simple. I guess complex can come later as the game and setting evolves.

Each Character, from Roban the Hero to the lowest peasant has a Character Card containing a brief description and a four stat line.  These are used for:

Attack ( Self Explanatory ),
Defence ( Does exactly what it says on the tin ),
Charisma ( This is used to influence surrounding Characters and Npcs ),
Spirit ( This is our method of dealing with all things spiritual and magical, also works for our Flight and Flee rule ).

Each Character has a Karma stone stat. These represent how much fate they can use each turn.


So you’ve picked your force. Now you add up their Karma. This ranges from 1 for a peasant to 2 for most Hero’s or Characters. You may choose to add good Karma ( White ) or bad Karma ( black ) adding up the Karma and rounding up and adding two additional stones or counters of both colours. These now represent the force of fate and are added to a bag. These are given a good shuffle and drawn blind and allocated to your Characters.   


Each Character gets TWO actions. These can be added to by the use of Karma ( more on this later ) One action is a movement action and the other can be an Attack or Special Ability or Charisma / Spirit action ( or sacrificed to give an additional move of 6” thereby running )

Movement is a simple 6” 

Attacks are rolled via their strength ranging from 1D6 to 3D6 with plus’s for Weapons and such ( a Katana adds a +2, a rock adds +1 )

And with the choice to use any Karma allocated to influence ( White Karma - good adds a + 1 to defence or Black Karma adds a + 1 to attack )

These are defended against by rolling Higher then the roll to attack again with plus’s for armour and any Karma added.

With me so far ? then i’ll continue.

So, that was the basics of attack, move, defend, now we get to your Abilities.

Each Character gets an ability, in some cases two. These are triggered with the use of Karma. Some are basic such as the peasants ability of:

At the cost of Any 1 Karma Stone they may move another 6”

to some such as Yumiko the scribe who could have spent:

Any 1 Karma stone to make an additional 8” move

or

A White Karma stone to stop one attack on herself from one Character


Play moves then to the next player or players to activate one of their models then moves back that way people are getting wiped out before they got a turn in.

Should a player loose more then 50% of his force in that turn, then they make a Fight or Flee roll against the player with the Highest Karma on the table. Spirit is rolled and if the affected player rolls equal or under they flee the battle.

Once everyone has acted, any counters used to represent actions played or status effects and casualties removed then dice are rolled again for initiative and all Karma returned and drawn again taking into account models removed. Then onto turn 2..

Hi Andy

These look really good, had a look at your site, it's a bit difficult to get a good impression of the figures from the pictures, but I will try and compare them to what you have posted on here.

Do you have any comparrison for size with the Perry figures, as all my collection is Perry and I am very tempted to add your figures to it.

Thanks

Hi

I am busy painting up some of the figures I bought a few months back. Am now looking to order more, however, your website needs some work.

First the photos are way to dark, if you have an automatic camera you need to have a medium gray back ground so that the figures do not get to dark. If you do want to use the gradiated background then adjust the light setting in your camera to much lighter, it will wash out the background somewhat but the figures will look good.

The painting on the figures is mediocre, either get a really good painter or just take good photos of the figures with the wash on them as you have shown here. Badly painted figures are a real problem for people buying the figures. Often they cannot see the quality of the figure, which yours do have.

Also drop the resolution on the photos on your site to 75 or 150 pixels, it needs to load faster. Marketers now say that if an image does not load in 2-3 seconds people will click away from the site. This might not happen with yours but boy it is annoying to have to wait for the images to load.

Also have your website on all your messages on this site, it is a pain to search thru the messages to find it, and it will make it easier for any one going thru the messages to link to your site.

I really like your figures I bought 50 GBP of them last time and my new order should be about the same. So please take the above comments as only as a desire to help you sell more figures, so that I can get more figures in the future  ;)

Thanks
William

Many thanks guys and yes, not done with it and more ideas in the mill :) And many thanks to those of you who placed orders :)

Been having some of the art coloured by a good friend of mine for an update / add on book to the first ( mainly on setting and such ) and had some more concepts drawn out ready to send to the sculptor.

Let me know what you think :) First our Heros as they are :)
