Warlord of Erehwon: Onna-bugeisha with longbows
From the earliest days of Japanese rule, women were trained in the art of battle, becoming proficient with knives and pole weapons. When communities were short of male fighters, the women would step up to bolster the ranks, using their naginata and tanto to great effect!
Some Onna-bugeisha became legendary figures during the various wars that punctuate Japan's storied history. One, the Empress Jingu, allegedly conquered the whole of the Korean peninsula without spilling a single drop of blood. Another, Onamihime, became the de facto head of the Nikaido clan and led their armies into battle during the Sengoku period.
In this set, you'll get ten fantastic metal miniatures (some of which you may have seen before), which are perfect for either Warlords of Erehwon or Pike & Shotte.

The Onna-Bugeisha are a solid second-line unit, with a decent variety of equipment, allowing them to be tailored to many different battlefield roles. Armed with bows, they are an excellent way to support your samurai as they lead the charge, or bolster a firing line of handgun armed Ashigaru.
