Heimin

The Heimin class consists mainly of peasants, craftsmen and merchants.  But these peasants know the true lords of the prefecture and follow them even when they go to war.  Since they are unnoticed by most samurai and live far from the cities of Jwar, most villages do not know that the Shiho no longer control the prefecture, while others remain loyal to their old Shiho lords anyway. Those loyal to the Eagle remember the days before the Tsunami, before the Masked Dead, before the Wild Wave, before the Takashi went to war to overthrow the Shiho. But they know deep in their hearts and in their prayers that the Eagle will rise again victorious and cover Jwar with its wings.

As you might expect, peasants in the game aren't very impressive, but the "Uncloak Ki Feat" means that any one of them could have been a Shiho samurai all along! And now you die! What a surprise!

So if you set up three of them, your opponents are forced to play as if they were all samurai until they unmask, and you can decide during the game which of them are samurai and which are harmless peasants. Combined with the ubiquitous flank trait of the Shiho samurais, this is a powerful way to control where the battle will take place.

This kit is made of metal, is unpainted and requires assembly.
