Hi aal
Anyone know where I could find some 28mm armoured Monks/Ikko Ikki for a late period army please ?
-
Only thing I can think of are Perry Brothers mins and North Star might have a set as well.
-
Should have said armoured and with Yari.

Most of their hands do not come with a weapon. So you can give them what you like.

Not much choices, there are some poses in the various manufactures: Perry, TAG, North Star, Zentih, ecc...
Maybe your best choice could be 3d models like that: https://www.myminifactory.com/it/users/kyoushuneko/collection/japanese-samurai-army from Kyoushuneko miniatures.
Or mabybe same models but printed by etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1113796739/sohei-japanese-warrior-monks-ikkko-ikki never used etsy I got a 3d printer.
Ciao

Hi
That's exactly what I'm lookionh for, I have seen the 3d printed stuff but not sure if it's over the top fantasy wise.

The Test of Honor game has exactly what you're looking for: https://greyfornow.com/collections/sohei-monks

As I mentioned above I'm looking for the Monks to be armed with a Yari and also have armour. :-)

I agree, too much fantasy look&feel for my tastes, but I keep that option in the possibile solutions list, considering actual cost of minis, shipping and customs taxes, it's an option to consider.
I have all metal miniatures used mainly for Daisho/Ronin games, I would like (eventually) expand the ranges with more metal ones, I'm thinking i.e SAGA/Lion Rampant.

Their minis are a bit fiddly to assemble, but look great.

The models are beautiful though. A shame that there is only one wearing armour (2 if you include the hero). The naginata would be easy to file into yari though or you could buy the metal pike length yari that the Perry's sell (but I can't seem to find them in their store).

For spears/yari, I can recommend thin wall brass tube.

Cut it to length, and then using something flat (such as the flat in a needle nose pliers) to pinch the end shut. This creates the spear blade, and then you can file down the end to make it pointy.
You can see an example here:
