Finally! 'Big trouble in little China' brought to the tabletop.  ;)

Finally! A dream come true!

Huh, wow! Not exactly what I was imagining, but I bet I could adapt this over very easily. Cudos to Osprey for the way they're hitting those under served war games niches lately! Now if only they'd adopt some kind of unified (or at least basically similar) game mechanics so I don't have to learn a band-new system each time I pick up one of their games...but I'm happy to have IHMN, Ronin, and FFKF regardless! Can't wait to see the minis for this one...

As long as you make an ol' Jack Burton figure I'll be happy.  ;)

Sweet, glad to hear North Star is doing the minis for this! I expect I'll buy all the minis for this one too.  Hey, can I make a request/suggestion? This is clearly aimed at the Big Trouble in Little China crowd (and I fully intend to participate!), but there will also be the people (also like me) that will want to play strait Wu-Xiu/historical. I think it'd be great if you were to make miniatures that cater to the old-school Kung Fu as well as the Big Trouble crowd. My two cents, adjusted for inflation :)

This. I've been trying to convince Kev White to make one for years, but he claims to have no interest in the movie! :'(

Apologies, looking forward to Ronin!

Maybe a couple pics of the next buntai would help us focus?  ;)

Kev has the fourth Buntai, the Koryu. He'll photograph them in the next day or so and I'll post pictures here. I think you'll like them.

Hi all.

I've been lurking in the shadows, following this thread! I'm really looking forward to Ronin. It ticks so many boxes for me. I'll definitely be pre-ordering the bundle next week!

If you click on the link below, it takes you to our Facebook Ronin Gallery where I've just added the first pictures of the 4th set of figures for Ronin, the Koryu Buntai.
