[Log] Ninja All-Stars - Part 1, Overview

This log is for everything related to Ninja All-Stars, a cute competitive team combat game. Up to 4 players can play against each other pitting a small team of ninjas, onis, and/or ronins against one another. The rule book puts emphasis on the game for league

In my quest to collect everything for Ninja All-Stars, I ended up getting a lot of extra copies. I plan to use those extra copies as a future painted gift and also to experiment with different color schemes.

Painting the miniatures for this game will likely not start anytime soon. This first entry, though, is a compiled list of the components I currently have, what I am still looking to get, and what I have been working on.

Moonlight Tournament Trophy

These larger models were a bonus model for those backing the Kickstarter and also as promotional items for organized events. I was able to get several of them and decided to make them taller. I added a wooden cube plus a 50 mm base from Reaper Miniatures. Each one will be painted to represent first, second, and third place (3 copies).

Terrain Pieces

Shrines and Lanterns (12 of each sculpt) are the only sculpted terrain pieces for Ninja All-Stars. They were only available from the Kickstarter and Super Ninja Ambush expansion. At least one scenario uses tokens to represent wooden crates. When I find time, I would like to sculpt those crates.  In addition, I would like to build 3D terrain to represent the art on the game boards.

Shrine Ninjas

There are 6 unique shrine ninja teams. Each one are composed of 9 models: 1 Chunin, 3 Kaiken, 2 Kunoichi, 2 Yajiri, and 1 Madoushi. They each come with their own unique rules; however, they are not intended for league play. The rulebook suggest using them as alternative models within Clan Ninja teams.  These also come with

Sentries

Samurais - 30 models (3 sculpts). I have more Samurai sentries than I ever needed to play Ninja All-Stars. However, I can see using them as proxies in Super Dungeon games or Legends.

This was announced in a Ninja Division newsletter in September 2016.

Shrine Sentries were mentioned a year ago. Unfortunately when this expansion will get released has not been disclosed by Ninja Division. This is on my want list.
