The figure used for this unit is a Dungeons and Dragons figure from the War Drums set. Its model number and name is 15 / Brass Samurai.

Character Bio: If a samurai dies, the onna-bugeisha Tomoe Gozen pledges a life debt to that fallen soldier and will fight in his memory. She uses her knowledge of tactics to fight together with her brother samurai in a tight formation, standing her ground. At first, Einar was worried that a female soldier would not be as strong as the samurai he had already summoned, but Tomoe Gozen has proven him wrong, and has won much glory already in the war for Valhalla.

SAMURAI LIFE DEBT
After revealing an Order Marker on a Unique Samurai Squad you control that has at least one previously destroyed Samurai on its Army Card, before taking that squad's turn, you may first take a turn with Tomoe Gozen.

DEFENSIVE FORMATION
If Tomoe Gozen is adjacent to at least one other Samurai you control, add 1 die to the Defense of Tomoe Gozen and all Samurai you control adjacent to Tomoe Gozen.

COUNTER STRIKE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent attacking figure, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure. This power does not work against other Samurai.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q: If I reveal an Order Marker on a Unique Samurai Squad Army Card whose figures have all been destroyed, can I take a turn with Tomoe Gozen?
  
  No. You cannot take a turn with a squad that has been destroyed, so you may not take a turn with Tomoe Gozen "before taking that squad's turn".
