Cool minis looked great today.
4 ground again 🙂
Beautiful minis
Is salute also a bread convention, as there is some fine facial hair doing the rounds.
I find this game interesting but never came around to getting into it.
Having hidden the wallet I shall have to stick with my Yu Jing and Ten Thunders for my oriental fix.. and now I fancy a Chinese.. where’s that wallet at?
Yes, these are some really top notch figures. I have considered buying some just for the fun of painting them.
It’s well worth it. They are a lot of fun.
Bushido has some amazing minis. Shame I’ve never seen any of it in the flesh.
Bushido definately has some good minis. However, never got round to collecting them myself as have so many other games on the go at the moment.
i would like to see a bushido lets play
Now you’re talking.
Likewise. 🙂
the game is amazing. i’ve been playing it for a few months now. it’s a bit like malifaux and a bit like confrontation
If only i had the time to paint these, theyre going on the list though!!
Every table is a 4ground table. They don’t really need to turn up. Lol.
I love Samurai and Ninja.
I got a nice, painted Ito starter and it would be nice to give Bushido a go again. Also, 4grounds stuff is everywhere – and rigthfully so 🙂
I’m curious what’s the % of table using 4ground. Seems to be something like 75%.
Never got around to Bushido, but I should.
2×2′ board hmmmm perfect for me in my small place, and I do love Far Eastern history and myth.
Not my system.. . I thought but looks worth a 2 view
I just love this game.
I love their stuff although I only played demos #nags
This game is something I need to check out
so many games, so little time 🙁
been painting a lot of samurai lately so big fan of this
I have some friends that will go MAD for the Bushido stuff!!
Samurai! Looks awesome, need to try out the rules though
All available on the GCT website. Rules, faction cards, you name it. If you like the theme then the game is definitely worth a try. I love it.
Can’t believe Salute is only a one day show, feels like they’re seriously limiting themselves
I agree, I think Saltue should become a long weekend con like we have here in the states, *cough* Adepticon *cough* I think adding more time and more games would do well.
Another game not played in my area, but I love the models.
I’m really excited to hear the Minamoto clan are finally going to be released. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the models for ages: big beardy bear-like samurai, covered in jewels, wielding tetsubos. Giant blinged-up samurai dwarves, @brennon!
I agree about the Minamoto. Both them and the Eagle clan look awesome indeed. They even slipped in an unreleased snake man mini in the pics. Fantastic stuff.
These guys are fantastic
It’s good to see more and more games set in the eastern hemisphere coming to the table top.
By this point in the day I think it’s safe to say Justin has beat Ben at getting prizes.
Great figures and the 4grpu d terrain is perfect for it
Very promising game
4ground building always make great table
Great game. really need to reach out to the GCT guys to do a themed week on here
If you’re into the Asian theme with some fantasy combined this is your game.
Really wannna get some Bushido models……but the unpainted horde tell me No!
Invite them for some filming .
Bushido is starting to pick up in my area. Might have to give it a try!
Bushido and Test of Honor both look like fun Asian themed games, but do I want a fantasy/mythological theme or a Kurosawa movie theme for the flavor more?
More excellent minis!
sigh… more lovely minis 🙂
Bush Ido is something I’m tempted to look into!
Excellent miniatures and some cool mechanics makes for a great miniature skirmish game
Must resist…must resist!! XD
Been playing for a while now and it is truly excellent. This game is crying out for a themed week as it is one of the best alternative activation skirmish games on the market. Plus the minis are gorgeous.
Bushido and 4ground, a match made in gaming greatness.
Love it
Love the japanese samurai/ninja games since playing Shogun Total War on the PC!
That’s nice to be able to get someone like 4Ground to come in and make terrain just for your scale. One of the best things about eastern based games is the ability to model flowing cloth creating movement in static figures.
I never got into Bushido, but it looks utterly fascinating.
I like all Japaness theme games, that also look great and I want it very much.
Bushido is that one game I know I one day wont be able to resist. Their miniatures maybe some of the best around in terms of detail. Considering the size of the company, that is jaw dropping to achieve
Ok, we finally caught the shiny syndrome with this one. As complete newbies to the game, the guys at the stand were really helpful advising us what to get etc.
Next to get some of the awesome new terrain from 4ground and a new table to build….. is there ever an end to this madness ??
really nice stuff, might have to pick Lagertha.
Samurai stuff just doesnt appeal to me at all
we tried 1st edition. still need to see how 2nd holds up
Looks like a fun game and the miniatures look fantastic. I may have to pick this up at some point.
Wonderful 4Ground again. And cool figures.
Dear 4Ground, I believe you are the only terrain company that I need. You cover all the facets of my whimsy’s and continue to innovate and explore what is possible with the materials you utilize.
In regards to all that… can I have free stuff? 😛
Cheers!
Bushido is beautiful game and the new 4groud stiff is sweet. The rules are almost as elegant as the models.
The 4ground terrain really made the games setting pop on that tiny table.
Interesting skirmish game on with a really low model count that fits on a 2×2 table. Might have to look into this for a quick start up.
Love some of their minis but they are a slightly bigger scale so hard to feed them into other games. Was trying to build an asian warband for frostgrave and some of the figures would make great wizards
I like the theme
Bushido looks awesome, need to try out the rules though. I wonder if I could use Test Of Honour miniatures for this also?
Really nice looking minis, the wife has an oriental gaming fixation at the moment so I’ll have to grab some bits and pieces and check it out.
This chap speaks like Ronnie Renton. 😀
I almost bought into this a long time ago. Not sure that I might not at a later date.
Looks great!
Found my reason to buy a pagoda
MINIMOTO clan!!!
I like all those games playing in small tables. Makes me want to try them…
Cool show!
Looks amazing
not tried bushido but some minis are greast, just this weekend played a game on Rise of the Kage and as usual was really fun.
This was great!
Bushido rox!
Cool minis and looked at this game in the past.
This was fun! 🙂
Beautiful!
