I'm going to suggest Hasslefree's martial arts figs. They have a sweet sweet Samurai and Ninja:

Reaper also has some nice oriental flavoured figs in its online catalogue. Good luck!

Perry Minatures.
Check out the The Age of Wars - Samurai Armies range, 'Dead and Wounded' makes a great apo... and 'Victorious Daimyo and Generals viewing enemy heads' are perfect coaching staff. Loads of conversion possibilities elsewhere, and they've just started doing transfers too....

You could also try http://www.theassaultgroup.com although I think their minis are based on an earlier period, so they might not match as well.

You could even try West Wind's Samurai Wars figures http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/ca ... Path=25_63 but I have to agree with Chairface about the Reaper Rokugan minis ( http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/rokugan ), they are pretty cool.

I've seen some of the War Crow figs before, and they are beautiful. Only one or two are Blood Bowl conversion friendly though....

good looking figs, but have to agree with chairface. Although the "yagyu koroshi" fig would make a sweet goalie for BB Hockey with a little conversion work. :P :wink:

the way things are looking, bb hockey might be the only hockey around for a while. :( need to check and see if JKL ever finished his rewrite of the rules. I bet there's no instigator penalty. :P
