Fireforge Ashigaru Warriors

 Fireforge have recently released a range of Japanese Samurai and Ashigaru. At SELWG 2023 I picked up a box each of the Ashigaru Warriors, Ahsigaru Shooters and the Samurai Warrior.

The Ashigaru Warrior box builds 24 lightly armoured Ashigaru armed with either a naginata (basically a sword on a stick) or a nagae-yari (more like a pike). They also have a back up sword.

Each sprue has six torsos (so builds six figures) but is common to the Ashigaru Shooter box (qv) and includes two crouching sets of legs.

There are six heads wearing the traditional jingasa helmet and two bare headed.

The right arm is integral to the naginata and the left arm is numbered to match the right.

The plan is to build two mini armies with slightly different themes for Oathmark, which will also be usable in Lion Rampant.
