Ashigaru bodys required
« on: August 27, 2010, 07:41:58 PM »
Can any point me to a set of fantasy figures of Ashigaru that would go with these Nezumi heads?



I feel a Japanese themed SBH troop coming on

Maybe the samurai goblins from the clan war range (I forgot who is rereleasing them) and from Cavalcade (both ranges sculpted by bob olley)?

The heads are probably designed to fit plastic skaven bodies though.

QT did some multi part figures (including Mongols and Japanese) a few years back.
Last time I saw them, Amazon had taken over the moulds.
Maybe they might be suitable ?

well, actually if you have some time you can take some lead  Perry's japanese Ashigaru (i think the best i've seen) and convert them with the heads!

maybe harder, but better result!



P.S.: SBH RULES! XD

Given that Nezumi means mouse or rat I had assumed so - just hoping for ideas as I have a Skaven SBH troop set at the moment.  I cannot find the bits box with the Skaven in at this time but from memory I cannot think of any Japanese style figures / bits...

Thanks for the ideas so far folks.

The Gutter Runners sprue is rat bodies in ninja type clothing iirc - if you're after an armoured body, the stormvermin sprue might be worth having a look at? (maybe have a nose at bitsandkits.co.uk or a similar site to see if you can get a closeup look at the bits that are on the sprue to see if they're any use...)
