If you’re trying to get close to that picture, you’re about as good as you’re gonna get.
Might be worth looking at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Naga_Fang or the order of whispers greatsword, both give me more of a “Samurai” vibe.

I tend to think of Charr culture as “non-absurd Klingons” rather than “samurai”. Basically a warrior/military-oriented culture with a strong honor code that skips the utter stupidity of most Klingon stories by recognizing the importance of logistics – Ranchers aren’t as awesome as a line troops, but the culture doesn’t squat over them and take a big dump, mostly because an army deprived of its food supply is no longer an army. Its a pack of starving bandits. Seeing non-warriors treated in terms of the value they contribute to overall military readiness is actually quite refreshing.
The other defining characteristic of the charr is summed up by some dialogue in the back corner of their starter zone discussing what to do with the local skelk population… “We’re going to do what Charr always do with a bunch of fresh meat: train it to fight as a unit.” You see it time and again in their zones – Charr will attempt to train just about anything as a fighting auxiliary. Battle cattle for the win.
Oh… you mean visually. Sure, You can make them pretty samurai. Browse the “ceremonial” weapons in the TP. The swords have a nice curve to them.
“You keep saying ‘its unfair.’
I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”
