Test of Honour - Rennyo, Keeper of the Gate
SHIPPING & DISCOUNT CODES CALCULATED DURING CHECKOUT
This set contains:
- 1 Rennyo miniature
- 2 Recruitment Cards - Rennyo and Ikko Preacher
- 1 Skill card
As a pacifist, Rennyo is an unusual character who cannot make attacks - instead he provides huge bonuses to all the believers around him. There is also a Recruitment card to use the model as an Ikko Preacher.
The Ikko-ikki were a rebellious group motivated by religious doctrine. They consisted of peasants, merchants, monks and even low-ranking samurai who all followed a militant sect of Buddhism led by a charismatic priest called Rennyo.
In 1486 the Ikko-ikki staged a violent uprising in Kaga province, overthrowing the governor and taking control for themselves – the first time in Japanese history that commoners had ruled a province.
The movement had thousands of dedicated followers – fanatical Sohei warrior monks as well as simple peasant farmers seeking an escape from their lives of toil and oppression.
Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. We recommend pinning the staff hand to the body for a stronger join.
