I was bored at work today and decided to construct a first draft of a Custom Warlord for my Mishima based on the renowned Samurai and later Ronin Miyamoto Musashi. If you have time or the inclination make one for yourselves (details can be found HERE) and post them up. Without further ado... Here he is. What do you think? Name : Miyamoto Musashi Type: Warlord (Close Combat), Medium Base (40mm), Custom (Ronin) STATS
M | CC | RS | ST | CON | WP | LD | W | A | PTS | 5 | 16 | 12 | 10 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 3 | 12 (14) | 170 |
Equipment: Tambu No.1 Assault Rifle, Musashi Nihonto Blades & Miyamoto’s Samurai Battlesuit & Defense Shield. Armour: Miyamoto’s Samurai Battlesuit (No Negative Weapon Modifiers) Ranged Weapon: Tambu No.1 Assault Rifle R | S | RoF | AVV | Type | 24 | 12 | 1 | 0 | Piercing (A) |
Close Combat Weapon: Musashi Nihonto Blades (Demon Tooth Katana x2)
*Passive: Ancestral Blade: Close Combat Weapon counts as Piercing, Blast and Plasma. Passive: Martial Defense: Models have ‘Impenetrable Armour (12)’ against Close Combat Attacks. Passive: Monomolecular Edge: This weapon grants an additional -1 Modifier to Armour Value of all Models within the CCWR of Miyamoto. The ‘Monomolecular Edge’ Modifiers are cumulative. This Special Rule does not affect Vehicles or Demon Hunters.
Special Abilities: Fearless, Target Senses, Duellist, Leap (4), Relentless, Disposable, Dishonoured, For Honour, Martial Prowess. Passive: Defense Shield: Miyamoto Musashi has Impenetrable Armour (14) against Ranged and Close Combat attacks originating in his front facing. Passive: Dishonoured: This Squad ignores the ‘Death Before Dishonour’ Mishima Army Special Skill. Active: For Honour: At the beginning of the Squad’s Activation ‘Turn to Burn’ 1 Resource Card. The entire Squad may reduce its RoF to 0 and gains RoA +1. Active: Martial Prowess: At the beginning of the Squad Activation ‘Turn to Burn’ 1 Resource Card. The entire Squad gain a +2 Modifier to AVV for Close Combat Attacks.
Here is the model I'll probably use to proxy him

Man that is all kinds of Awesome.
A very thematic leader. His skills and weapons all 'feel' right for his type. I approve, and shall be posting up his nemesis, once Ive spent a little more time mulling. Great model too.

Stealing your excellent template, I thought I'd start with a low-level Warlord for our first 500 point game, bearing in mind that I have to keep him at 130 points or less to fit the points. I give you - Captain Janus Bromley, technically the captain of my first ever Blood Bowl team, he now leads every unit in every game I've ever played. Name : Captain Janus BromleyType: Warlord (Close Combat), Medium Base (40mm), Custom (Trencher) STATS
M | CC | RS | ST | CON | WP | LD | W | A | PTS | 5 | 14 | 12 | 9 | 8 | 13 | 16 | 3 | 12 (17) | 130 |
Equipment: Aggressor Handgun, Custom Heavy Chain Ripper ' Diabolous', Gas Mask, Ablative Reinforced Mk. I Light Combat Body Armour Armour: Ablative Reinforced Mk. I Light Combat Body Armour (No Negative Weapon Modifiers) Ranged Weapon: Aggressor Handgun R | S | RoF | AVV | Type | 12 | 12 | 2 | 0 | Piercing (A) |
Close Combat Weapon: Custom Heavy Chain Ripper 'Diabolus'
R | S | RoA | AVV | Type | 1 | +4 | 5 | 2 | Piercing |
Passive: Poisoned Tincture: A Poisoned Tincture token may be placed on an enemy model that receives a Wound Effect in close combat from the Warlord. When the wounded model is activated, it must take a Con test. If the test is passed, the token is removed. If the test is failed, the model recieves a St12 Plasma autohit and the token remains. Passive: Gas Mask: The Warlord may reroll any failed Con test against gas weapons Passive: Ablative Body Armour: The Warlord has Impenetrable Armour (17). Each time the Warlord completes an Armour test, place an ABA token on the Warlord (which may not be removed in any way). For each ABA token the Warlord receives a -1 modifier to Impenetrable Armour.
Special Abilities: Fearless, Pathfinder, Trencher, Duellist, Inspiring Presence, Target Sense

Will - just been looking over your Warlord again. Is there any point in him have 'Martial Defense' (Impenetrable Armour 12 in CC) since he's already got a 'Defence Shield' (Impenetrable Armour 14 from all front facing R & CC attacks)?

If memory serves his martial defense comes from his dragon fang swords. It's one of their inate abilities and only applies in combat. The defense field grants (14) to both combat and ranged so i figured it would keep his ass off the ground a little longer. It's just a first draft so I may tweak him a little. I was just playing around to see what I could do. I've also got an idea or two for a psychic warlord as well

Fair enough. Can't have too much protection! I've got plans for the bowler wearing guy with the umbrella (on the main thread) being a crazy tech lord with strange weapons and abilities. This shall be epic....

I've seen a bunch of Infinity models that will be great proxies for Ronin Warlords. I've got a couple in mind for a tech and psychic so between Hiroko, Miyamoto and the others I should be able to concoct a nice little array of ronin to lead my forces. I also forgot to add in the Ronin special rules for him so edited to add them in. "For Honour" could be a nice little buff for him.

So here's another one based on Oda Nobunaga who is often depicted and referred to as the Devil King. I particularly liked his depiction in an anime series called Sengoku Basara set in the Sengoku period where Nobunaga was trying to unify Japan under one leader (Namely himself!) and so have kind of based this guy on that character. This is something I'm toying with as an idea for later in my armies progression (Mainly coz he's so bloody expensive!!) but also it's fun building random characters! Name : Oda Nobunaga Type: Warlord (Tech), Medium Base (40mm), Custom (Demon Hunter) STATS
M | CC | RS | ST | CON | WP | LD | W | A | PTS | 5 | 16 | 15 | 11 | 13 | 16 | 18 | 4 | 17 (17) | 330 |
Equipment: Tambu No.22F "Dragonbreath" Flamethrower, Demon Tooth Katana x2, Custom Demon Hunter Armour, Ancestral Blade, Chemical Resuscitator, Ablative Body Armour. Armour: Custom Demon Hunter Armour (No Negative Weapon Modifiers) Ranged Weapon: Tambu No.22F "Dragonbreath" Flamethrower R | S | RoF | AVV | Type | FT | 12 | 2 | 1 | Blast (F) |
Close Combat Weapon: Devilfang & Demonclaw (Demon Tooth Katana x2)
*Passive: Ancestral Blade: The Close Combat weapon counts as Piercing, Blast and Plasma. Passive: Martial Defense: Models have ‘Impenetrable Armour (12)’ against Close Combat Attacks. Passive: Monomolecular Edge: This weapon grants an additional -1 Modifier to Armour Value of all Models within the CCWR of a Demon Hunter. The ‘Monomolecular Edge’ Modifiers are cumulative. This Special Rule does not affect Vehicles or other Demon Hunters.
Special Abilities: Fearless, Target Senses, Relentless, Contempt (Brotherhood), Contempt (Dark Legion), Fear (0), Dissention, Dispersible, Stay Frosty, Demon Hunter, Meditation of Kyudo, Seasoned Leader.
Passive: Demon Hunter: If targeted by Dark Symmetry Psychic Powers the Demon Hunter gains and additional +5 Modifier to WP.
Active: Meditation of Kyudo: Demon Hunters gain ‘Heal (+2)’ for each Demon Hunter in the Squad. For Example: If there are 3 Demon Hunters each gains ‘Heal (6)’, whereas if there are 2 they each have ‘Heal (4)’
Passive: Seasoned Leader: The LD radius of the Warlord is increased by an additional 5". Passive: Chemical Resuscitator: When the Warlord is reduced to 0 Wounds roll a D20. On a roll of 1-10 the model regains 1 wound. Passive: Ablative Body Armour: The Warlord has Impenetrable Armour (17). Each time the Warlord completes an Armour test place a ABA token on the Warlord (which cannot be removed in any way). For each ABA token the Warlord receives a -1 modifier to Impenetrable Armour.

More amazing models - perfect for Mishima and Bauhaus Warlords, respectively.

And just so Tony doesn't feel left out - great proxies for an Armoured Cuirassier and normal Cuirassier Warlords from the game Urban War for his Cybertronics
