Okay. Pledged for 4 minis, may up that later. Don't have any Japanese minis but may find a use for these guys.

Seems someone beat me to it putting the link up, many thanks for that :)

Just been putting up the concept art and in the process just had these sent from the Sculptor to take a look at. Let me know what you think guys :)

How about explaining why instead of just leaving an open comment  :?

No, a tablet while travelling. Found it using Google, will invest later this month, like the look of the figures. I suspect the archer problem is to do with where the bow is held rather than the actual figure.

Is a complete set 4 or 8 miniatures? It's a little unclear.

Loyal retainer pledge....."You will receive a complete set of 4 miniatures"

Looks pretty clear to me 😁

Eseemed Hatamoto level = 2 sets of 4 which equal the 8 figures?
Just about to pledge as these will go well with the Northstar Ronin.

But which miniatures do you get? It's all a bit confusing, you say we've got 8 minis then offer a pledge for 4 minis, and a pledge for 2x4 minis, and nowhere does is say which of the 8, for all I know I could get 2x the same 4 minis. plus the first few pledges are for random minis, so might be nice to specify which minis you get for the 4 and 8 mini pledges.

Also needs bigger pics, I can sort of see the minis but the pics are not big enough to really judge the quality of the sculpt.

Shame they look interesting, but won't pledge untill it's exactly clear what you get.

TheShadow - I saw that, but that contradicts the title in the main body: "A Set of Eight 28mm Samurai Themed Miniatures for Roleplaying, Wargaming or Collecting." Price wise it could be either (£1.25/figure on the cheap end, £2.50/figure on the GW end). I suspect it's the latter, but as I said it's unclear. And if a set is only four, which four?

Hi folks, hope i can clear things up :) am trying to add some larger pictures to it as i type to help you see better :)

The Hatamoto pledge allowed you to choose from the 2 available Character Sets, either Roban or the Governor. Have added a new pledge to the list " Sensei " which is simply for the Eight Character models from the 2 sets :)

Have altered the header so it reads as 2 sets of four, to avoid any confusion :)

Hope that helps

Same from tablet. But I think this indiegogo is some sort of cummunity platform thingy.
Could not find it from top website down.

Shame about the archer.

Holding the bow in the wrong hand - not a biggy, maybe he's just resting.

But the quiver is on the wrong side AND covering his daisho.

One pledge lets you choose which 2 sets, the other gives you one of Roban and one of the Governor :) Hope that helps

His Daisho should be uncovered :) the model is quiver less as if hes about to discard his bow soon and return to his swords :)

Just FYI, those pictures are really out of focus. It's not horrible in the overall shot, but it's really bad for the individual shots. Please see if the sculptor can take some pictures with a better macro setting, because right now it's making the campaign look very unprofessional.

Sorry, but it's still unclear to me.
With the last pladge level the "Enlighted Sensei" I'll get the two sets of 8 => 16 miniatures?

The good and the bad guys?
If so I'll pledge in a minute.

Will ask and see what can be done :)

First pic directly above, second mini to the left (can't make it out on the other figs): Swords seem to be stuck under his belt by the hilt. Looks slightly impractical to draw. ;)

He's not the only one, looks like nearly all of them have that problem  ;)
The scabbard should stick inside the belt

Okay then, that's a glaring error. :? Such a pity, otherwise I really like those figures; a bit understated and therefore great for boardgames, RPGs, dioramas as well.

Glad you like them :) 

Have some " bodyguard's and ronin " concept art being worked on at the moment, soon as i have them will let you guys see them :) 

As well as a Region map and Mon's for some of the major and minor clans and factions

Any suggestions by all means drop them my way :) Andy
