A Test of Your Honour

    Hi all


    As many of you have seen i have been painting Samurai for the Test of Honour (TOH) rules set, and am next going to be doing some terrain Santa has kindly brought.


    If anyone is interested in having a dabble TOH then Omega Games has it currently on sale 25% off

    The base game is excellent Value at £30, since it has 35 miniatures and the rules, but if you fancy something different then any 2 boxes or a box and a couple of blisters would give you enough for a force (For Example, Cobeis Renegades and the Bandits and Brigades blister).


    It is my intention to have enough of this painted for a classic large scale christmas game next year, so the more miniatures we have for it the merrier it will be. 8)


    If you have any questions about the game, let me know.

    Quote from Alan


    I have a bunch of 28mm samurai, will these do? Or do I need extra in-game bobs and bits?


    hey Alan, The game does work around some bespoke elements, all troop have stat cards (with points), basic troops operate in groups of three figures (normally Ashigaru archers/muskets/spears) on a 60mm multi base to operate together, see pic below;



    and the game also uses custom dice, activation tokens and fate cards to give your Samurai abilities in game.


    All of this could be worked around with a bit of creativity and time, but i am not sure it work out any cheaper.


    Here is a good article on building a force.


    All is not lost though as the figures would be fine to use with my TOH set ;D since it has it all in. I am also looking at another older rule set i have for bigger games and that just needs miniatures like you have (its also why i have got a couple of packs of Perrys miniatures to boost my miniature count)


    I have enough painted for the core games scenarios so the option to try the game is always there.

    I am well up for a few games of this Craig (I love my feudal Japan stuff). I have some blank dice, cards can be printed and tokens can be fashioned from Joann’s craft beads. I can definitely have them all painted up and mounted on 60mm bases in time for your large scale game next Christmas.
