The Golden Sentinel (alternative sculpt): £8.95
The Golden Sentinels are the bodyguards of the Emperor’s clan, guarding the family on their travels, in their homes and in court. They also serve as escorts to his Teishin as they journey his Empire spreading his holy word. If the Teishin of the Imperial court are the Emperors voice in distant more barbaric lands, then the Golden Sentinels serve as his shield, all proven warriors, sworn to protect their charges with their lives if needed. However, such is the size of the Golden Empire that Imperial missions and postings can often take many seasons to complete not taking into account the travel across the great empire and so often the Sentinels can sometimes take on the local customs and in rare circumstances become embroiled in the affairs of locals.

Jade Mamba (alternative sculpt): £8.95
The Shisai and Samurai of the Ito clan feel no fear, even in the heart of enemy territories, when they are escorted by the Jade Mamba Guard.

Although the training is a closely guarded secret it is whispered that the final test for the recruit is to put his or her hand into a basket containing the deadly Jade Mamba, if the prospect’s loyalty is not total they are bitten and left to die in excruciating agony.

For those that are curious, Bushido is a tabletop fantasy miniature game for two players. Miniatures are 32mm metal minis that players can choose from to command in battle. The world of Bushido is influenced by the history and life of Feudal Japan, with characters that are attuned to the life force known as Ki battling each other for the factions they serve. Combat in this game do not focus on large faceless armies but small groups of unique characters with flexible, fast moving game play. The term “skirmish game” is applicable. Most Bushido games take 30 minutes to 2 hours to play.
