Title: 15mm Samurai, Ronin and Ninjas
Post by: Emphatz on 03 April 2016, 11:55:31 AM

Hi all, Been wanting to start a project in the above subject matter but as far as I know there isn't anyone that is doing any (15/18mm) Samurai, Ronin or Ninja (happy to be corrected) with the Osprey Ronin Rule set out I really hope that someone like Khurasan, Splintered Light, Blue Moon, Peter Pig or anyone else can have a go at filling this gap, Oshiro Model Terrain do some amazing buildings I just want to throw my money at them but I cant because there really isn't any nicely sculpted Civilian based Samurai miniatures, i'm thinking along the lines of Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Musashi Miyamoto, Ninja night raids etc.... I already have all the Peter Pig Samurai Army based stuff (awesome), I'm now wanting to game the above subject matter, if there others out there that feel the same please post, maybe some of these manufacturers are watching.

Have you checked out the range from Museum Miniatures?  I think some of them would fit your bill

Old Glory do a range of 15mm samurai which includes ninja, unarmoured samurai, peasants etc. Deceptively good figures when you come to paint them as well:
