7 miniatures in the set, I'm sort of hoping it sticks to the current pricing model and will be around £20.
Could be really good for ronin/bushido ect

Very nice!

I've never played Warlord but I'd love to play with these minis!

They are a step above other figures in the range, really nice job on those little beauties. :)

Wow those are beautiful and I want them :-* I don't do samauri games but my fertile little mind is hearing "Hey say you Brade-runner!" To get them into a SciFi setting :o

So apparently there are actually 8 in the set, And the one not shown here is the ninja. Figures really, the ninja should stay hidden!

Not if they're bandits. Some of them may be failed samurai, I suppose.

They're out!

Gotta say the £27 price tag is...hmm...well it's £7 more than i was hoping for.
But I do really like the sculpts and will probably pick them up.

Plus they've released the multi bases in packs of 5!

And that ninja's still well hidden. In fact, unless he's a surprise bonus, he's not included.

As for pricing, the bases also seem to be in the premium category, at five for £6. I've just received 16 from an eBay seller, which cost me £8.95 including postage. I'd have bought more if he'd had them.

So the figures in the set were the ones they bought from the previous brand ( wagamesfactory ) that everyone says they are a pain to put together ( plastics ).

Are these plastics, metal, their own new minis , any better than the previous sets ?  Do we know or not yet ?

Metal.

The WGF samurai aren't a pain to put together at all so far. no more so than perry or any other plastic range I've messed around with.

They look rather fantasy-inspired. Are the non-straw capes meant to represent leather? The holes and other damage don't quite look like what you'd expect on cloth
