It's the most wonderful time of the year! This is my first year participating in the Willey's from the 'Blog with no name' "Secret Santa" project which is to purchase a gift worth £15 and send it to a fellow blogger. I have been given my blogger and I'm frantically scanning the blogosphere for inspiration, we are also asked to put up a couple of ideas for our secret Santa to consider, so here is my list. And yes I have been nice, definitely not naughty (not through lack of trying...).
To be fair my list is fairly simple.....
Anything you like!!
Told you, nice and simple :-)
Sorry, is that not helpful? Ok tbh I prefer 28mm (or 32mm for Bushido), that said Team Yankee is on my radar and I'm thinking I'm gonna go USA. I absolutely love Bushido and have Temple of Ro-Kan, Prefecture of Ryu, Cult of Yurei and Pirates of Jung factions all of which I have blogged about so you can see what I already have. Oh and I adore Hasslefree Miniatures, again I have blogged about all the ones I own.
Hope that's helpful? But as I said really, it's anything you like, I would find a place for anything ;-)
Anyway back to the post, I recently added Koji and his pack to my Temple of Ro-Kan faction. I really liked the look of these models and couldn't resist anymore. There is a great story on the GCT website regarding Koji and his monkeys that you can read here.

Koji has been waiting as patiently as he could for his time to protect all he holds dear. Since he turned away a lone ninja Koji has finally been allowed that chance by the temple elders. Individually Koji and his macaques would fall quickly but united they stand. The shared love and loss of Kita has cemented the bond between boy and monkeys to something akin to brotherhood, each willing to fall in place of the next.
Now none of these guys have got any real muscle individually but together they are really good, I use them to burn through my opponents activations and wearing them down in combat before a more destructive fighter can come in a deliver the coup de grace to an exhausted and surrounded enemy! Also the monkeys are great at countering the camouflage skills of ninjas and other lurkers with their ability to give sixth sense to friendlies within 2". Because of this they will now be a really important part of my Temple warband.
As for the painting of the minis. The bases were really important in this group as the minis are all a little small - Koji is a child and the monkeys are Macaques so I decided to pull out the stops and recreate a ruined temple for them to clamber over....
