Test of Honour: Ikko-ikki Bauern
Grey For Now Games bringen eine neue Truppe für Test of Honour heraus.
Ikko-ikki available for pre-order!
They’ve been a long time in the making but finally the Ikko-ikki are here to launch their peasant revolt and overthrow the samurai!
Hand-sculpted by Stavros Zouliatis – the man behind the Warring Clans range – these true believers can stand alone or make the perfect allies for Sohei Monks.
Who are the Ikko-ikki?
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.
The rebel peasants are armed with a variety of weapons (counting as katanas in a group). The Oppressed Masses trait makes them particularly dangerous against samurai class enemies.
The rebel spearmen are armed with sharpened bamboo spears. The Mob Rush trait allows you to race forward faster if there are plenty of friends around.
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.

Eigentlich ein schöner Release. Richtige Ikko-Ikki habe ich schon damals beim Ursprünglichen Test of Honour vermisst (diese Pauper Soldiers waren das ja nichts wirklich). Bin mit Ronin oder Daisho in dem Setting gut ausgestattet, müsste mir aber die 2. Edition von Test of Honour mal anschauen; soll ja deutlich mehr Substanz haben, seitdem Grey For Now Games das von Warlord Games übernommen hat. o.o
Bei den Minis nutze ich die von Perries, aber evt. können die als Ergänzung verwendet werden.
Kenseis sind auch ganz gut.
Pünktlich zum Zen Saga Update.
