Introduce yourself

I can't wait... the game system with the whole hidden attack and defence dice and using Ki to boost dice and pull off feats, etc is very cool and the models are Pure dead brilliant!

As I said, in only a week it has already passed Lord of the Rings SBG (which is an impressive feat since its a game I love soo much that it actually survived the hate I have for the company that makes it- their other products were sold off on mass in the last few months after 15 years of playing them) and warmachine/hordes as well as Dystopian wars and well, every other game that are too many to mention. To be number 4 on my list of games is a huge deal, especially since, A) I play alot of games B) I have only been into Bushido for a very very short time C) Its barely behind Star Wars minis and Star Wars is my all-time favorite IP that there could ever be, and D) its not even really that far behind the 3rd place spot since star wars minis isn't  in production anymore and is really only still being championed by me and my massive thousands of star wars models collection that I lend out so others can play too.

I'm loving Bushido... it does something different than the other games I'm playing right now.

Welcome, to the game, the forum, miniature games and the addiction! 

Hi My name is Gaz

i have spent quite a bit of money on Oshiro Buildings which I am in the middle of painting I am collecting the Cult of Yuri as I think they really stand out and I really like the models I am waiting to see when the Ito become available but also really like the look of the savage wave I do think that some of the models for the prefecture of Ryu could be better though

my question is having never played one game is how easy is it to learn I play 40k and just bought the x wing game which is great

I just saw Bushido at a convention really liked the models so I bought the Cult of Yuri my friend bought the  funky monks

My first ever post on a gaming site so sorry if it is all over the place

Thanks for the quick reply Malhorme hopefully I will get to play a game soon I just want the board and models to look good first so quite a bit of painting and modelling still to do but I will take your advice onboard i had the idea of using Mahjong sticks as tokens.

Thanks once again

Gaz

Hi,

Ive been looking at Bushido for a while now and am a regular lurker on the forums! The Cult of Yurei are the faction i would start, they are fantastic models guys. I just need to get some commissions out of the way then i can get involved

Rid

It does look awesome yeah, so do all the sculpts across the ranges! Its rare to find a game that lacks chaff in it somewhere.

It seems that people paint their forces a model at a time to make them as awesome as possible, and with only a few figs needed a side this appeals to me as a painter more than a gamer these days.

Welcome both of you!

The miniatures are indeed a pleasure to paint. Hard not to take too much time on them, which is ever a problem for me.

I'm, as you may have noticed, the resident chatterbox of the forum 

Hello, my name is Pete and I'm from Cambridge, I sound like Contestant from blind date lol

I've been Into wargames most of my life 40k, Infinity and Dark Age.The mini's come first to me they have to look really nice, painting Is my favorite part of the hobby.

I love all things Japanese, I have been eight times, I find their history and lifestyle the very Interesting. I love Japanese cinema and anime.

I think Bushido look like an awesome game, Mini's look so well done and will be fun to paint. The setting and style looks like Ninja Scroll and Basilisk which Is very cool :)

I have reordered The Ito Clan!

Hey Pete, welcome!  I hope you enjoy the Ito.  I really enjoyed painting the models, I'm sure you will too.

Thanks for the Welcome guys :)

Hey Shane, welcome to the Jwar Isles!  After you're finished with your board, do you have an idea of which faction(s) you want to play?

Welcome, Shane!

Looking forward to seeing that village! There are some threads in the modelling & painting subforum touching on houses and villages that might inspire a little.

PS Kunshouling, whereabouts in Staffs are you? I grew up in Lichfield and still head over there to see family and friends pretty often. If you're nearby we should try to organise a game some time

Hi Dimitri,

Welcome look forward to the painted minis and feel free to ask questions about the rules and see if we can explain any your having problems with.

Hello Dimitri :) Where you live?

I live in the Netherlands, tonight I am going for my first game of Bushido and I am pretty excited.

Hello again, the first battle went really well, we played with both our starters ( Prefecture for me and Temple for my friend), it took about 2 hours this includes the frequent reading in the rules.

But I can honestly say that this game is very very good and excactly the kind of game I would prefer playing. It is also the fastest game I play at the moment ( with my friday night gaming group, we play: Anima Tactics, Warmachine, Freebooter's Fate, Flames of War) and I really like it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I have some questions after the battle:

Takeshi has a boostable range icon but he has no ranged weapon, what is the boost for?

Is it possible to run twice since it's a simple action?

There is a EA next to some rice costs, what's it for?

That clears up a few things.
I'm that friend :)

Really awesome game with a lot of different choices. Very divers and fast.
The only thing which was annoying was looking up all those traits. We'll learn them soon enough though, but it slowed the game quite a bit.

The best thing for me was the dice-system. I'm a below average dice-roller, but despite of that I had equally chances, although grauenacht rolled a few double sixes.

Now i can work on my list, because most of the temple seems to be support and I have to figure a way to get my meleeskilled characters to be effective as they can be.

But what an awesome game

Glad you liked!

Hiya - sounds like you have all bases covered! Make sure you add yourselves to the player locator:

Hi Tombking and Witchersai.

@Tombking; the Coolminiornot and Warpath both stock Bushido in the USA. 

@Witchersai; what part of London, there are a few players at the Cross Gaming Club, myself included on occasion. 

Welcome Mark 

Glad you like the rules and that there is another Bushido community growing in the world. Feel free to ask away with any questions about the game, rules or painting as the forum has some very friendly and knowledgable people in all areas. 

What is HEMA by the way?

Master T: thanks, I will :).

HEMA is the acronym of historical european martial arts. For short there are many groups over the world, who research and study medieval and reniassance martial arts from textbooks, manuscripts and codexes because sadly we haven't any continual line of masters like the easter martial traditions. This is not re-enactment (while there are lot of peoples who involved in both) HEMA groups are like a kendo or karate or any other martial schools and groups. I specifically research, study and teach the one-handed sword and especially the sword and parrying dagger fencing from the second half of the 16th century Italy.

This is our group's english webpage: http://arsensis.hu/index.php?s=740. If you are interested, there are many great groups in England, especially in London. The people of the british Isles have a very rich and colourfull martial tradition. The London Masters  of Defence was a famous martial school, whose graduating and ranking system is the basis of ours and many other groups around the world.

Ret-Henrix: to be accurate, we play a little houseruled conf 3/3.5, but there are 5-6 active players and more 10 around passive. We have a very succesfull league in the last half year. Bushido is totaly new to the community but it built solid fangroup very fast. If you come anytime to Hungary, please send me a pm and we look forward to see and play with you!

 The language...Well I borned here so I understand it, but know it is one of the hardest language of the world. Interesting bit of information: we also the japanese people take the last name first and the vica-versa :).
