The Empire of Nippon demands much of its Samurai: service to one’s lord, service to one’s Clan, and service to one’s Emperor. Bushido’s staunch and unyielding code of conduct binds Samurai to duty, strengthening their character and defining their choices. A Nipponese army on the march is a spectacular sight to behold. Thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of Samurai and Ashigaru march in formation, resplendent in their armour, the sun glittering off their weapons, their battle standards and back-banners fluttering, the dust of their passage lingering long after they have marched on.

Character

In addition to their troop type, some models might also be noted as being characters. We're not going to worry about characters here, however – characters are such a powerful and important part of Warhammer that they have a chapter all to themselves later in the book.

Characters (Troop Types)

Hero

You can spend up to 25% of your points on Lords and/or 35% on Heroes, but no more than 35% in total over both categories.  Lords are the most powerful characters in your army, individuals possessed of fearsome martial or magical might. Heroes are lesser characters, not as intrinsically deadly as Lords, but still worth a score of ordinary warriors.
