Eddo Ashigaru
Eddo Ashigaru
The Eddo Garrison rarely leaves Eddo, which allows them to wear the heavier armour they are known for. As a garrison, they also wield heavy naginata rather than the lighter yari. Since Hiro’s ascension to the Family seat, he has sent the Eddo ashigaru further afield. They are known for their intense personal loyalty to Hiro. These ashigaru have spent much time with the young samurai on patrols and in Eddo. They bear the burden of their heavy gear, marching far from home without complaint, and any would give their life for their daimyo.
Options for Armour (3), Brutal and Powerful Attack gives Claws of the Dragon a decent melee bruiser, not needing to rely on Push attack and Reach for Melee. Of course, you pay for this in Rice, so how will your list change?
Blister contains two miniatures supplied with 30mm bases and full colour profile card.
