I just recently opened up the Samurai Army pack I got before the price hike and I have a question.

The pack description lists 1 "hero" unit that is included in the pack but I cant seem to find anything in the order that isnt part of the other samurai packs. Maybe mine wasnt shipped?

or can someone tell me what this model actually is XD

thank you

Here we run into one of the problems of doing army packs for a specific set of rules.   This pack was designed for the Warmaster Ancients/Mediaeval rules and therefore uses those rules' terminology.   A 'Hero' is a specific sort of leader with associated points cost for WMA.    Other rules or systems may call it a 'Leader' or a 'General'.  Either way, the strip in question is one from the SAM16 pack.  Depending on which one you have got it may look a little like this:

How's that?

Yes that answers my question, thank you :)
