I may have asked this before but how do they scale with the Perry range?

They are a little bigger. I find they make great generals officers and centre pieces of armies. Slightly bigger guys you want attention too.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Perry Sengoku range but to deploy a truly big force I'd need more figures than the excellent Steel Fist range has at the moment. And beyond Steel Fist and the Perrys every other Momoyama-era range I've seen is pure deng.

Hey, what packs do you think are needed?

At the moment I'm doing archers. And the new kickstarter miniatures should be out very soon.
I also plan these packs
If you have a preference for what I make first let me know.
More yari ashigaru, with cheap armour attacking
More static samurai
Musicians
Warrior monks
More daimyo
Variants of Teppo ashigaru
Fighting samurai
Variants of mounted samurai
Static ashigaru
But as I said I would like to make what people will buy so anything not there everyone feel free to please point out

For my needs I would want more fighting and mounted samurai, more yari ashigaru variants with regional equipment , musicians and warrior monks (not limited strictly to the Ikko-ikki). My projected army is not 100% historical in that my proportion of samurai to ashigaru is significantly higher than justified and, given the fluid nature of warfare during the period, I'm not the biggest fan of static figures of any kind.

Do you plan to sculpt any unarmoured/cinematic (for want of a better word!) samurai/civilians for skirmish games? Wonderful sculpts that I've admired from afar for a while, well done with the kickstarter.

Well I will be making quite a few more samurai, just because I like making them! As for regional gear, I am planning on eventually making helmets for date clan, etchu zunari kabuto for the Hosokawa clan, is there others you had in mind?
Also you can regionalise with clan specific sashimono.

Thanks!
It has crossed my mind a few times, so you might see some

Nice list of things to sculpt. Things I'd like to see:

Samurai with Horo (mounted/foot) or a Horo that can fit on the Samurai you already have.
Vingette's: passing ammo / holding horse(s) / Seige or battle field accessories

All I can think of at the moment.
