Title says it all. I'm looking for mostly Ashigaru figures. My FLGs has some great Samurai figures for cheap.

The Wargames Factory plastics are great. They had Ashigaru with spears and a kit with guns/bows. See if you can find some still in stock somewhere, otherwise you may have to wait a few months to a year for Warlord to bring them back to the market.

Zenit miniatures are nice, but are true-scale rather than heroic, so they don't mix very well with other lines.
Kingsford makes a nice line of ashigaru, and are reasonably priced.
Steel Fist are some of the nicest samurai models on the market, in my opinion.
And, of course Perry Miniatures have an extensive line as well.

I have a mix of models from these makers in my army, and I can recommend all of them.

These are very good and i recommend them. Though i to am annoyed that im gonna have to wait to buy a bunch of Iroquois minis until they get that all sorted.

I have a box of each of the wargames factory miniatures and can also recommend them. they're a bit fidly, to put together, but as a result you have a lot of options. I do find you have to gently bend open the hands to fit the weapons inside.



Here's a unit I put together back when I was going to use them as stand in Empire troops for 8th edition.

I was thinking of doing a KoM army myself

Oh sweet. To bad they aren't in a box, but thats a pretty minor quibble.

There are a few sprues of the Wargames Factory minis floating around on Ebay as well. Looks slightly cheaper than from warlordgames.com.

$5 each here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Samurai-Warriors-Ashigaru-Wargames-Factory-28mm-1-56-scale-/151982998287?hash=item2362e4830f:g:fBoAAOSwPc9Wv736
