Post by: Bayushiseni on 24 May 2011, 04:56:38 PM
Who played Clan War?
Who liked or disliked Clan War?
Who has Clan War miniatures?
What Samurai miniatures will serve as proxys in Clan War?

I haven't played the game but I guess Perry Miniatures "samurai" range would be a good proxy range!  ;D

Clan War figures tend to be cheap and plentiful on eBay, so is there really much need to proxy them...?

 I have been collecting the miniatures for just over a year now.Some great sculpts in the range.Some are really hard to come by and others for the forces were not released.
 Not had a game yet but do hope to someday.

This range is being produced by Valiant Enterprises.

The site is a bit rough though. I've had good experiences ordering from coolminiornot's shop though:

I have the rules (never played) and some miniatures.

I really love the Bob Olley sculpted goblins (Cavalcade miniatures make a good addition to those, also by Bob) and the undead.

Some good ones in the human range too, but I would also go with Perry as substitutes if you can't find them.

I had a massive Crab clan army years ago, lovingly painted and converted, beautiful sculpts. I played in a tourney (three games) and sold off the entire army on eBay the following week- I hated playing the game that much. I should have known better, I really dislike playing 28mm rank and file games, so it might not be the fault of the rules.

Really nice figures though, I saved a few for use in other skirmish games.

@ Dr. Mathias: Nope. Not the rules. But you've got to like rank and file and homemade rules.  ;D

@ White Knight: This line has some marvelous sculptings. The lost Moto are wonderful. Almost gothic in the details.

@ Number9: I sent a mail to Valiant. Never got a reply.

@ Heldrake: Not so cheap... And some units and personalities never appear.

@ Belgian: Perry Miniatures "samurai" range is good in itself. :)

if anyone uses bartertown i dealt with someone that had substantial amounts of each army and bought up the lot of at least 100 miniatures an army. He was doing around $2.50 a miniature last I recall.
