Steel Fist Samurai

Finally getting some paint on more Steel fist minis, stunning sculpts, got a few more to do and 8 cavalry, hoping to get a couple of small skirmish units up together

Oooh nice! These look great, I've wanted to get some Steel Fist samurai for a while, the more annoyed by Perry casting quality the more I'm tempted by SF.  Any idea how they scale with North Star, or the ToH metals?
