Latest units off the painting table are some Sohei (warrior monks) for Test of Honour - a samurai skirmish game I'm playing in Fishponds. The game uses about 10-20 figures per side on 4 foot table somewhat based on WWII skirmish 02 Hundred Hours. The action is driven by a pot of activation chits with players drawing in turn to see if they can activate a hero or normal trooper.
Starting as a temple defence force they grew steadily and were able to field large armies capable of defeating samurai lords. Also in the force are some Ikko-Ikki religious fanatics. All 28mm Sohei figures from Footsore Miniatures.

As Emperor Shirakawa lamented - there are three things that even I cannot control: the waters of the Kamo river, the roll of the dice, and the monks of the mountains.
Nicely painted. I must paint some one day.
