Steel Fist Miniatures: New packs of 28mm samurai miniatures to compliment the steel fist miniatures range. Do you want a unique looking collection of miniatures? Then look no further than the Samurai of Japan!
Each Samurai customised his suit of armour giving it a theme and significance to himself, sometimes an expression of his artistic taste or that of the artisan armourer. They did this to make themselves appear stronger or more intimidating to other Warriors and always to announce their personal presence to everyone on the field, including talent spotting Daimyo!
if they could afford it then they may have worn a Kawari Kabuto which often were unusual shapes, or sporting horns or other wierd features. Samurai also wore many types of banner on their backs called Sashimono these could have the clan Mon or logo on them, or be personal designs coming in all different shapes in order to get them recognised. Samurai armour also came in many varying shades of Red, Black, Brown, or even Gold, Silver or Copper, resulting in a riot of colour! These miniatures. Are highly researched, meticulously sculpted and cast by a top quality casting firm to give you great pleasure in building a collection from a fascinating period of history.
Also added to this you too can customise your sets just like the Samurai themselves, because the miniatures mostly come with separate heads weapons and sashimono to allow you to make your own compositions! And give your clan a unique look to your taste and interpretation.
Following on from the recently successful Samurai Lords Kickstarter, you now have the opportunity to add to your collection with a choice of all new packs! The campaign photo features miniatures already available from steelfist miniatures the miniatures can also bee selected when you pledge, but they are shown to show you what your miniatures could look like painted up! Also because I could not show any of the new ones painted as they have not yet been moulded.
The packs on offer in this campaign focus on troop types rather than Daimyo, thus giving you miniatures for your Daimyo to command! Or make vignettes with. The main focus of the miniatures in this campaign are mounted Samurai, and Teppo Ashigaru, as these are core types. This does not mean though that other types will be overlooked in the future. If the campaign is successful I hope to add many more packs and Daimyo with future campaigns.
Also as the campaign runs I'm working on some more packs that will be added to the campaign if compleated on time as stretch goals, if these goals are also achieved you can add these packs to your choice. For those who have never seen my miniatures before the steel fist miniatures samurai are intended to showcase the spectacular armour of Japan, many of the armours features are accurately rendered from surviving armour! If I only have one piece of armour to work with, say a helmet then I make a plausible composition of parts to complete the suit All the miniatures I make that are not copies from full existing suits are still highly possible to have been seen on a sengoku era battlefield.
On to the packs! Please note that what the miniatures are made from is very hard to photo well, but as you can see from the main photo to the detail of steel fist miniature is of very sharp high quality.
