Test of Honour: The Samurai Miniatures Game – Pauper Soldiers is an expansion for Test of Honour: The Samurai Miniatures Game released in 2017 for 2 players. It was designed by Graham Davey and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Campaign / Battle Card Driven.
Disinherited samurai lord Senzo ‘the Thorn’ leads a group of pauper soldiers, using his legendary skills with the bow in the hope of winning back his fortune. Once again, the metal straw hat heads that come in this set completely change the feel of the models, making them less military and more like peasants (especially if you leave off the back-banners). Remember each expansion set contains one type of plastic sprue, but there’s nothing to stop you mixing the heads around on bodies from other sets if you want to create a more balanced force. The samurai archer character from this set is backed up with some useful shooty skills, plus other skills and quests that reflect him being more at home with the local peasants than most noble-born samurai. Contains: 18 unique cards - including One with the Target and Hidden Marksman 1 metal character model - Senzo ‘the Thorn’ 10 plastic figures 10 metal 'straw hat' heads 3 mulltibases
