The Seven Samurai ...

[Admiral Benbow]

... could be realized as a game with Black Hat's new range:



Fantastic sculpts by Josef Ochman.  

[Prof.Witchheimer]

WOOOW, they rock! Bravo, Josef!

[PeteMurray]

Those are awesome! Well done, Bob da Dawg! I particularly like Yelling Man in Hakama.

[Westfalia Chris]

Uhhhh! Kawaii! Although the weapons are a bit heavy on the fantasy side for my taste, but the poses are cool. And those faces look good, too.

[LeadAsbestos]

if the price is right, I'm gonna get 'em! Maybe that swell Foundry collection too...

I hate mini-addiction!!

[Driscoles]

Really really good !

[Terrible Tim]

TT.

[Lowtardog]

ever read or heard about castability of miniatures? If they were to scale you all would nagg "I got minis with broken katanas or bows, the minis are crap, the sculptor an idiot. Couldn't he make them thicker?"

Besides that after being moulded twice (master mould, production mould) there is always a definite shrinkage of the material so they will get thinner and slimmer.

I love those comments :twisted: Where would I be without them?

Yes, of course, you have to work pragmatically... but, even the Reaper Fantasy Samurai swords are smaller (but not that much, I´ll admit).

I agree 100% that one will have to wait for the production models for a final verdict. And, re-reading my post, I didn´t put it specifically enough: nothing against the Naginata (?) and the Yumi, which look remarkably good. It´s mainly the swords. And those I could replace, after all.

Just put up a couple more pictures - the Ninjas this time:

You know guys, these could be off attacking my Seadogs in a Clavell moment

Oh yeah! I even BOUGHT "Shogun" (in Paperback, but at full price, so I´m doomed for Samuraiism!)...

[majorsmith]

[Bob da dowg]

At least the archer here now in color. The rest are samurai I did for Gladiator as the initial release for this range years ago.
