Between this and Ronin I can recreate a fair few of my favorite movies.

Still wish northstar sold models separately though.
Agreed, if I did ronin I'd like to buy at least 2 seperate ashigaru with yari and for the kung-fu 2 more generic police and some extra SWAT (though thankfully I could just buy a second box, but still would be useful)

Yeah I have plenty of Monks for example but I don't have any armed with Teppo or Tetsubo. So the ability to purchase them would be great.

Plus I really want to buy the Chow Yun Fat esque cop but cant justify buying an entire pack of SWAT for him atm.

Will just have to wait and pick the lot up further down the line.

I'd like to see some additional SWAT figures, especially after watching 'The Raid' recently. Bearing in mind there are the Supernatural Detective, SWAT leader  and SWAT Sniper in the Fistful of Kung Fu army list maybe a SWAT booster pack could be considered?

Also a set of Ninjas would go nicely with both A Fistful of Kung Fu, Ronin AND In Her Majesty's Name.

My set arrived today, along with the Jack Burton figure, which was a nice surprise as I'd forgotten about ordering them.
Not sure if I'll ever get round to using them though. Big Trouble in Little China has been on the back burner for years with nothing to really inspire me to do a tabletop version.
Maybe I'll feel the need once I've read the rules.

My rules turned up yesterday.  :D Hadn't ordered any figures though as I'm concentrating on trying to use what I've got in the pile.

Saying that though, those cops do look nice...

It's one of the things with the Northstar/Osprey partnership; Osprey are producing rules so quickly there's little chance to produce much more than the 'starter' sets. A real shame as it would be nice to have more options. I'd like to see more cops and SWAT team officers. Some American cops would be nice too.  ;)

Thankfully though, North Star do seem to bringing out more sets if the first releases sell well. Since the original 4 In Her Majesty's Name sets they have added 3 more and a  steam walker.

Nothing yet for Ronin but you never know. (Ninja's would be nice)

A friend has my copy of the book so I can't check but I didn't think there was a Ninja Buntai, they were just an individual that could be hired? In which case, very little chance of a Ninja box.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Ahhh, I didn't know that about Ronin. However, there's a Ninja group List in A Fistful of Kung Fu and if I'm not mistaken there is a Ninja list in Heroes, Villains and Fiends for In Her Majesty's Name.

There's an unofficial Ninja list for Ronin and with the points builder it wouldn't take too much to come up with one.

Then Ninjas it is!  :)

Or at least more SWAT. I'm imagining The Raid movie but instead of a crime lord at the top floor of the building there's a Chinese Demon sending his supernatural minions against the Cops.

It may have been suggested before but for extra SWAT you could use figures from the Foundry Street Violence range.

Yeah that's true. Saying that though I'm not a massive fan of Foundry's SWAT whereas I find the new North Star SWAT superb.

As regards Ninjas, I did a quick online check and it seems Ninja companies are not included in any IHMN book. My mistake.
