Nippon Hobgoblins

I painted some companions for Nitstume, the nippon half-hobgoblin. Here Nistume with some Nippon Hobgoblins.

Jaken

I've included a sidekick to Sesshomaru, the small goblin Jaken. I did a simple conversion with a middlehammer goblin with a broken rod, including an head a point of a spear. The paint scheme is ispired by the small kappa Jaken, from the Inuyasha anime. Jaken was the servant and sidekick of Sesshomaru in the cartoon.

Sesshomaru Shroran the Death Dancer

Intrigued by my first nippon character, I decided to repaint an old RAFM Death Dancer I owm from my teenager years (this will be its third repaint 😉).

The design of the Death Dancer has some vague bond with a samurai armor, especially the "kilt".
I decided to paint it ispired by the paint scheme of an anime character: Sesshomaru from the Inuyasha cartoon. I've painted the skull faces as red oni masks.

Sesshomaru beside Nistume.

The old painted Death Dancer (I painted it in 2013)

Nitsume Fumge the Half-Hobgoblin of Haikido

I painted a Laughing Monk miniature I bought some years ago. I decided to finally paint her as an alternative oldhammer half-hobgoblin ronin from Nippon: Nitsume Fumge of Haikido. She would be a nice addition for a colourful warband in Sellswords & Spellslingers solo/cooperative games.
Maybe I could consider to include some foundry ex-citadel orientals.
