Fireforge Games Samurai Wars: Mounted Monks

Bring swift and determined warrior monks to your tabletop with Fireforge Games Samurai Wars: Mounted Monks. Designed for armies inspired by the warfare of feudal Japan, these mounted fighters combine the distinctive appearance of Japanese warrior monks with the mobility of cavalry.

Warrior monks, commonly associated with the sōhei tradition, were connected to powerful Buddhist temples and religious institutions that could become deeply involved in the political and military conflicts of medieval Japan. Their presence provides a distinctive alternative to conventional samurai and ashigaru units.
