1st Buntai ready to fight!

I was thinking as much. I also have the Pulp Figures Chinese coolie with yoke and two boxes. http://pulpfigures.com/products/view/156 His more generously cut jacket and pants might be a bit off, or maybe he's just in winter kit? 
The fellow with the roll across his shoulders could be good in the supply column too, methinks.

Shame Samurai rear echelon types are so thin on the ground. I like supply column scenarios, and I just like doing the rear echelon bits for all my armies. I'm going to have to get some riderless horses and make some bales of stuff to turn them into pack horses. I find commercial pack horses always seem to have anachronistic baggage.

I think museum miniatures have some of the kinds of models you mention. Not sure on the quality though.

Also these guys from perry

Also want to find a way to integrate these into my ranged units.

Hope they are some what useful.

Museum Mini's SAM07 and SAM14 could be quite useful. Too bad there isn't a picture!

The Perry sets have some limited utility for supply column types. The fellows with the ammo packs would be a good fit but there's the rest of the pack. But I do want to get it later on just for table dressing anyway.

I have seen someone on the interweb with the figures handing out ammo used in the back of bigger stands of teppo and yumi troops. But he was making large elements for IMpetus or something.

Too this day it surprises me how many miniatures sites just don't update their website with photos, even of the bare metal if no painted models are available.

There are so many miniatures that I would have bought if they had had a picture of them on the website that I didn't end up getting.

Good looking figures & cool back story

SWEET!
Thanks Vern (for the compliments and the reference pics.)

I think those might do quite nicely!

Here are the museum marching types, rather nice I have used them for a marching column being attacked by Ninja!

Oi, that's "SAM20 Palaquin with bearers" in the middle yes? 

I saw it on a link from another thread on LAF to what I'm guessing was an old cached version of the webstore, and then went back and it's not there.

Just bunged them an email asking about it. Could be nifty having a palaquin about the table.

I keep meaning to get the one I've mastered cast up but getting a couple of bearers is proving difficult (finding a sculpter).

cheers

I now have some buildings to fight amongst. Still need the bits of set dressing to make it looked lived in.

More pictures and a bit of review on how I found the buildings were to assemble at:

Villagers are half done.

I am eagerly awaiting my opponent to announce his monks are ready to fight.
