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
OK, one last time. These are small... but the ones out there are far away. Small... far away... ah forget it!

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.

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.

I'll admit...if these went into production, I'd be hard pressed not to buy some.  I've been looking for an excuse to buy up a nice old Japanese town and get some Samurai/Japanese gaming in.

These look really good, sculpts excellent. Like the idea of no armour and male female figures.Well done when do you think they will be available.
