Why I should keep away from the Internet II: Sengoku Period for 28mm Impetvs?
Pooch has been trying to peddle his crack around the local blog community once more.
Now, Dystopian Wars is pretty cool and I almost went and looked into it until (typically Magpie like) I got re-distracted. As you know, I am easily distracted, especially when there is a movie/video game tie-in. Pictures of this fella have been around for a while:

He is 'ok' but we just know that this isn't going to translate well into actual detail when it gets turned into plastic.On the other hand:
Then this guy pops up (see here for fancy 3D rotatable version). Now this I can like, specifically a whole big 28mm Impetus army with these guys as the basis. See the glorious army in formation:

Check out the WGF Ashigaru in action performing a 'Triple Barrage' attack just a little bit into this. That game sold me the newly released PS2 back in the day.
I reckon this could be just the little project, when they come out. Now off to TM to get a copy of Kessen!
Dude, see Kurosawa's movie 'Ran' and you're done for.;-)
