Sohei Warrior Monk bundle including Oshō
Led by Superior Saburo, the fierce Sohei warrior monks defend their sacred temple-fortresses to the last. Sohei Oshō Mounted Sohei Superior Saburo Sohei Sergeant Sohei Creed Bearer Sohei Temple Guard with nodachi heavy sword Sohei Temple Guard with tetsubo heavy club Sohei Temple Guard with paired swords 3 Sohei Fanatics 3 Sohei Musketmen 12 Recruitment Cards 3 Trait Card 10 Skill Cards 2 Quest Cards MDF bases including 2 multibases The warriors represented in this box can be used with other Sohei forces, Ikko Ikki rebels, as well as allied samurai clans. These zealous believers do not fear death and fight even harder if their brethren are slain. Superior Saburo leads the defence of the temple-fortress, galloping at his enemies to deliver a devasting one-off attack with the Dive Strike card. The Sohei sergeant can send his troops surging forward in a sudden wave (or unleash a sudden blast of gunfire if you use him as a gunnery sergeaant) - a definite contrast to the steady ashigaru of the clans. Meanwhile the Creed Bearer carries a banner daubed with inspiring prayers and religious slogans, making it more likely for nearby believers to trigger their Strike bonuses. The devout Temple Guards themselves are the toughest fighters, hand-picked from among the warrior monks and able to shrug off minor injuries and carry on the battle unaffected. You can make them even harder to defeat with the Final Guardians trait! Skill cards include Holy Relic, Hallowed Walls and Power from Grief. Sohei Oshō A fearsome addition for any Sohei Warrior Monk or Ikko Ikki force, the Sohei Oshō is a senior priest who leads your devout followers in battle as well as in prayer. At the start of each game he choses between the Prayer of Guidance or the Prayer of Inspiration. The first boosts the Oshō himself in combat (wielding his razor-sharp naginata), while the second bolsters a nearby follower. The chosen prayer can be recited up to three times to generate a massive bonus on the next attack! Sohei Fanatics Sohei Fanatics are elite warrior monks, highly skilled with the naginata and filled with divine fervour. Give them the Unstoppable Frenzy trait to make them even more devastating during Follow Up attacks. The Righteous Slaughter skill has a similar effect for a character. These miniatures can also be fielded as 'standard' Sohei warrior monks. Sohei Musketmen Sohei warrior monks armed with muskets battle against the foes of their temple. The Reckless Shooters trait allows musket-armed troops to move faster but limits them to firing at the nearest enemy! The Grab a Musket skill lets a character shoot with the gun of a nearby friend. Bundle contains 27 gaming cards for Test of Honour and 13 metal miniatures plus bases. Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled.
