You don't really grasp the scope of these "pikemen" until you look at the pictures. These are not spearmen. These are pikemen to the max.

Bradley, those are nagae-yari, as in "extra long spears." They were the purview of the Ashigaru, and were in some cases as long as European pikes (used in a somewhat different fashion, as the ashigaru fought in looser formations than their European counterparts).
Frankly, they're darn near spot-on.

Are these bodies compatible with the Persian infantry heads?

Nagae-yare is long spear... Almoust as the european pike. Ashigaru were using these as well as the normal yari during the sengoku jida ( the contry at war) but the nagae-yari were not that regular in battle fields. Think these guys could be a great formation
against samurai cavalery... Have to get some

Potential to become cheap Easterlings? Definitely.

Nice figures, easy to assemble, little flash to clean, compatible with Perrys. Only con I have is lack of variety for left arms, besides that great, can't wait to paint them up and field them in battle. Great job wargames factory.

I really like this set. Sculpts are nice despite what some on TMP said. Take the source there. I just got 1 box of the Ashigaru Troops and as I said I really like them. The only way I would have given them 5 stars is if they were metal. I can't afford
metal so I have to do with plastic most of the time and these guys will be a nice add to my collection. I cant wait until they make Mounted Samurai, if they do... I will buy a lot of them as you just cant beat the price! Cheers Eric

Did cost me another 210 swedish to get them out of post office... A little irritated then but when i opened the box and saw all 25 samurai, ashigaru and bow ashigaru i got realy happy they looked great! And then under some paper i found another sprue of
5samurais that i now have built together and are realy satesfied by the look and the way tl put them together! Realy nice job there with the details and ideas!! When do we se some ninjas and samurai on horses?? Keep up the great job!

i would like to buy these minitures for a game me and my freinds, Shogun 2 total war, its a computer game. and we made up our own rules useing shoguns rules and i think they would like good on a toble top.

More of a question than a comment... Would the ashigaru be carrying both long and short swords?? I thought the short sword was reserved for true samurai and not permitted for peasant (which the ashigaru were)? Other than that question, these are fantastic
figs and I wish I could justify buying some right now!

I love these guys as well as the other rising sun models. I plan to use these for my Warhammer Empire troops as an eastern setting fluff army. it's gunna make my opponents squeal.
