Test of Honour
Lead a samurai and their followers through duels, ambushes and village raids.
Grey For Now Games’ samurai skirmish game puts a hero, a few trusted companions and their followers at the centre of the action. A typical battle uses around 10–20 models on each side.
Fight for the scenario’s objective, develop your hero’s skills and decide how far you’ll go to win. The buildings, bridges and courtyards give those small battles somewhere worth fighting over.

The scenery sets contain terrain only.
From the Sarissa workbench
Give the timber a little history.
The weathered wood and faded panels are part of what makes a village feel lived in.
Gary Faulkner’s Mountain Village painting guide shows how water-based brush pens, a damp brush and thin paint layers can build up those effects. There are original process photographs to follow along with.
