Call me crazy but I realy like them, cartoonish but realy well put together with loads of detail
currently working on a set in greyscale but i'm looking for other models that fit
anyone know who culpted them and what else might fit - i'm thinking some of the Dixon line would be or or maybe the old citadel figures?
-
There are a small number of Dixon Ronin that match the 1st Corps Seven Samurai style, yes. Specifically the R01 to R06 group of figures.

Yes, a really cool set and makes it all fun. And those Dixon Ninjas do fit in well with them. ;D
-
Great I now have half a dozen Dixon on their way :D
-
imo, the Dixon oni etc also capture the spirit of japanese illustrations / prints better than more modern 'better' sculpting'.
-
They do look cool
I was also wondering about old glory? I'm after some WAKO and they look skinny enough to be hard up pirates - but how are they height wise - they certainloy look maller than perry

anyone know who sculpted them
I think it was Mark Fuller aka Tin Shed Gamer. I have a bunch of the armed peasants and they fit nicely in style and stature with Dixon's stuff IMHO.

Your stuff is very cool, and certainly fit right in with Perry, Kensei, TOH stuff but they didn't realy work with the 1st corps minatures I have
-
You might also try Wargames Foundry. Their Samurai are much older in sculpting style, and could fit with your desired aesthetic.

One of our club members has them, and I don't think they mix as well with Kensei/Warlord/Bac Ninh/others

Thanks, those are the old Citadel Samurai - I owned some of them when I was a kid but couldn't recall what the scale was like
will probably hunt one or two down before I commit

I've dusted off some Dixon & Citadel for a couple of games
(using Pikeman's Lament rules) pictures here,

I might even order some more figures, the Dixons are growing on me.

Saw the Dixons but didn't see the Citadel figures
some nice work there

I was thinking that your Citadel one's were were to older one's there for a moment.I still have a few of the very early one's which were released.Still very nice sculpting on them for the time they were released.
-
Thanks guys. Most of the painting was done by a friend (Andy Taylor)
with whom I have unfortunately lost contact with.
The Citadel figures are mainly in the Ronin units. As they are
dramatic individual poses, I figured that was the nicest place for them.
-
Now inspired to pick up half a dozen dixon ronins and a couple of citadels too
-
The Seven Samurai were sculpted by Rob Baker.
The Samurai range is a very very old set of figures originally ment as allies for my Dark Elves ( 3rd edition WHFB thats how old) they were accidentally released by a previous owner of 1st corps miniatures .They were never intended for release as they were a technical exercise whilst teaching myself to sculpt. and only ever intended as a something for my own table.They will fit with Citadel and Dixon's simply because that's what I had in other roles with in the alliance.

The DIXONS and Citadel are mixing well - I've a Ral Partha or two coming too which seem to also match up well

Here are the Seven Samurai from 1st Corps painted up:

Those are really nice.

Very nice work.

Very nice.
Any plans for the mounted & foot Bandits, as well
as the villagers? If yes, what figures are you planning to use?
-
Thank you.
I have mounted and foot bandits, as well as villagers, from a range of sources: Dixons, 1st Corps, Assault Group, and Foundry amongst others. Not too many more to paint up...
