Try dixon miniatures. Bit of chopping required though.

anima tactics does several ninjas, but they arent exactly traditional. would make good star players.

there was another thread talking about this same subject if you do a search you will probably find it.

Hassle free miniatures does some orientals which may help you. I'll see if I can remember any other ones while I'm at it

Perry Miniatures make some that look good. 6-7 poses.

Hum... how much do you enjoy converting?

This is a team I've made to play in my league a few years back.
Its was based on a GW Bretonnian box, a plastic ogre, and possibly a few more plastic bits (and some green stuff).

It was painted a bit fast because the league was about to start, but you can have the idea.

Edit: I dont have the entire team showing on the photos (this was taken in the end of the final, so only the players in the roster showed up for the 'winners' pic), but the positional's were: Catchers-Ninja, Blitzers-Samurai, Lineman-Ashigaru, Throwers-Kusa ('grass'), Ogre-Sumo fighter.

You could use the Nippon/Cathay Ogre Maneater from Games Workshop as the ogre?

Impact!'s divine wind team has a ninja. Only one pose though, I think.

thanks guys! some good ideas, there! the converted team is just plaine awsome! but thats kinda out of my league.
the perrys are nice but there are too few poses. the hasselfree, i'm not too fond of, and too few poses.
at this point, i have to go with the chubby dixon. they have a masive selection.

Thanks for the nice comments!

If you decide to go forward with the project using those minis, it would be cool if you show them off afterwards!
Might inspire other TFF'ers too!

I don't know this range well, but Bushido might have something:

I picked a couple of models for my Divine Wind team.

that converted Nippon team is superb! The greenstuff work is truly amazing..

the paint job, not so much.. (sorry)

Ninja team. What a great idea. You won't need any models at all as everyone knows that Ninja's can't be seen.

just 11 flocked bases ought to do it.. pretty cost effective too..
