THE LIGHT OF FOOT

The Ashigaru (“light of foot” in Nihongo) were the backbone of 16th and early 17th century Japanese armies. Originally wandering mercenaries that came from peasant stock, they were organized into more formal units as the centuries passed. Over time they also gained in status although still existed below the Samurai class. In the later periods they accounted for between 60 and 80% of armies.

This hard plastic box set allows you to field up to 328 10mm soldiers equipped with yari (spear/pike), naginata (pole arm), yumi (longbow), and teppo (musket). You can see the mix of one, two, three, and five man strips on the back of the box with the variety of weapons. There are also 12 casualty figures included to use for scenic basing or as markers.

Excellent!

The order arrived in quick time and was good quality. The only downside are the spears (very easy to snap) but apart from that, they are spot on.

Outstanding figures

Beautiful design, superb detail and really impressive when built up.
Can’t say enough about how good these figures really are. Highly recommended…you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent miniatures

I think these 10mm scale miniatures have got to be my favourite scale. The detail on them is brilliant, and in mass ranks they look epic

Fantasticly Detailed Figures for such a small scale

The figures are highly detailed and are easy to paint and look great when finished. The only down side is that some parts break easily when you try and remove them from the sprues. Perhaps if the figures weren't attached to the sprues by so many connections. I would definately recommend these figures to others.
