Should be in infantry stand to follow in the next few days.
Looks awesome Lemmey! I always love the diorama-style basing, but I'm way too lazy and lack enough talent for it. Good stuff, I'll keep my eyes open for the next installment, though I really don't need you pushing me towards another genre ;)
V/R,
Jack
Very very nice :)
Good start, Will. 8)
I love Sengoku armies!
That's very cool!
Absolutely brilliant love the banner round the side adds atmosphere.
Take care

Very nice Lemmey,
kev
They're a hansom bunch, Will. 8)
Decent start, looking forward to the rest.
Nice work Will; you are a machine :o
How many figures do you paint in an average week?
Depends...
I tend to work in big batches of a platoon (c30-40) or a division (c140) at a time. It takes me about a fortnight to do that many, if I have nights with no distractions. It inevitably ends up as night 1 base coats and inks, night two flesh and inks, etc...
7 Samurai took three nights, most of which was waiting for bases and pva to dry and find details for flags. :]]
Not great photos, the light has been appalling today... :(

Very, very nice, Will. :-bd
Cheers - Phil
Wow, I love the look of these 8). The flags/banners really make for an impressive stand of troops.
They look great and I really like that general's screen. One day I'll get that box of Samurai out and do something with them, even if it's only a HOTT or DBA army.
Very nice great job with the flags
Take care
Andy
like these Will :-bd
Them peasants don't seem to be wearing much, Will. Or is that my imagination? Like 'em a lot. 8)
Thanks guys.
The peasant sculpt has them in a loin cloth, couldn't see any trousers or sleeves...

Great stuff, really liking the look of these.
so cool!
Looking great :-bd
Nicely done :-bd
Very nice indeed, Will 8)
Signed up for a FogR competition in mid December, theme is 1635. The only viable force I have are these Samuari.
I might just have bitten off more I can chew here. Best get busy! :d
Pretty interesting. Looking forward seeing some shot of the action or a picure of your whole nippon force (if it is possible)
Nice job, can't wait for my samurai apes now
Think I'm going to borrow a mate's force, 60+ bases to paint before December might be overkill! ;D
Ooh yes... but with some tea mixed with coffee you could do it
Mmmm, is that a toffee or coftea?!
Nice figures :)
Random Bridge, £2:49 from Dobbies garden centre fish section, perfect 10mm scale!

Oh, and in real life, it's almost jade green! Might have to weather it, slightly...
Good find, Will.
Cheers - Phil.
So nice, now your samurais could march on the bridge heading the battlefield!
Nice info - a Dobbies not far from me.
Nice find...I was in our local one this morning. I shall go again sometime this week
I bought another bridge...

There are more Ashugaru on the way too...
Great bridge - did Monet's garden exist before the FPW started? Would be fun to incorporate it into the Prussian advance into Normandy.
Probably later.
IanS
More Ashuragu! At last, taken me ages, what with the new job et al!

Very colourful army that. My samurai are still looking very metallic. :-B This chap looks appropriate.
Takiung a break from them now, too bozz eyed! @-) =O
I'm no expert, but they look pretty good to me, Will. :-bd
Wot Ray said !
Cheers - Phil
looking good Will :-bd
Good work, you need to fill that plastic suitcase!
Looking fab..... Samurai on my to do list.
Sengoku rocks!
Nicely done, Will 8)
Naowwwwww. In the sense of regular oscillation.
Would possibly not have looked if I wasn't currently following Shogun on CBS Action. Glad I did. Nice work. :-bd

One army uses them in one battle, someone films it (extremely inaccurately), and everyone buys them (including me). Meanwhile, call for some monkish cavalry, musketeers, or archers....
This is all great stuff. A friend and I have been talking about the Imjin war as a project for many years. I mentioned the idea of doing it in 10mm a while back and I think it will definitely be the way to go based on what I see here.
Always fancied doing Samurai, just the painting puts me off.
Ooohhh!!! Shiny!
Nice work!
Gives me another thought toward adding these to my collection once my current dozen projects are done. Saw something on the History Channel this weekend about '47 Ronin'. That and the above work are inspiring!
Hello
I'm not a specialist of this type of army but I find it very beautiful. Excellen painting work.

That is a major drawback. Unless you know someone you could bribe... :)
These are 10mm deep rear bases, so that I can use the units I've already painted in FoGR. Makes them 40x40 stands. There is an AWFUL lot more Samurai to do before November now...
This is the start of an ashugaru spear unit.

Only 150 to paint before Mid November and Warfare in Reading! :'(
You better crack on then :!!
Hi Lemmey,
I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article... I've got a bit of a soft spot for Samurai.
I did a Samurai project a few years ago in 28mm using Dixon figures. Ended up buying far too many (a lot of them are still in a drawer somewhere - unpainted of course) :-)
Cheers,
Rob
Only one unit left to assemble, just got to paint them now! 5/14 already done.
Six weeks of serious armour laces coming up...
Progress...

Another eight stands to add and an encampment!
On the latter, I have no idea! Suggestions please?
Hmmm...
Should be easy enough

I'm really admiring your perseverance with these Will ;)
Form the top of my head I have had the following Samurai Projects over the years none of which are still in my possession:
28mm Samurai - cant even remember the manufacturer but it may have been foundry. I even had the Samurai Walled Residence from an now defunct company called Village Green. This was the only collection I ever finished and all I can remember is that I sold the lot on and got far less than I paid for them.....
I had a 15mm Two Dragons Samurai army for WRG Renaissance which remained in its bags unloved for far too long before being sold off for far less than I paid for it.
I also had a 15mm Lancashire Games Samurai Army which I gave away as I was so appalled by the figures.
I then bought a Pendraken Samurai Army maybe three or four years ago which again I sold on for far less than I paid for them.
Anyone see a theme emerging here?? ;D
This space to let?

Is that tent right?
At the mo the only Samurai I own is the 6mm one I painted earlier this year. If I did another, no way would I go larger than 10's, it gets too complicated and life is too short.
Which of the Kurosawa films is it that has a fantastic scene in a field camp? Is it "Ran"?

Yes indeed, i have a load of unpainted 28mm Samurai that I just have not even looked at because the work involved. :(
Ran appears good, might have to be watched later!
Oh, it's King Leer, with attitude...
And feels like it's 14 hours long.
IanS
Don't let that put you off. It's a cracking story, without a "thee" or a "varlet" in sight.
Once you've watched "Ran" move on to "Kagemusha."
As to encampments, some ideas:

I also had a 15mm Lancashire Games Samurai Army which I gave away as I was so appalled by the figures.
I then bought a Pendraken Samurai Army maybe three or four years ago which again I sold on for far less than I paid for them.
Anyone see a theme emerging here?? ;D
I'm kind of liking the idea of an oriental army in the next few years, if I sent you a list of figures, do you think you could buy them, keep them in a cupboard for a couple of years, then I'd be happy to take them off your hands for half price? ;)
No?
Oh, well.
ML - thats a good looking start - and a general's enclosure would be very cool
Ran is a stone cold masterpiece, its the film that got me into Samurai warfare. Kagemusha is great, though it can at times feel like a long sit at times. However it does give an interesting perspective on the demise of the Takeda clan, which is a very familiar story to anyone who studies the period, and has plenty of arresting scenes.
Those are some beautiful figures
Take care
Andy

Kagemusha is the story of a Takeda lord's double who is used to maintain the fiction that the lord is alive after his death to protect the Takeda clan's status and position. In this scene the double's aides are worried that others will find out he is an impostor
Masakage Yamagata: Little Takemaru was a problem, but the horse is worse. It can tell. Only the late lord could ride it.
Nobufusa Baba: If the double falls off, everyone will suspect.
Nobukado Takeda: Lord Shingen has been ill. He must refrain from riding.
Masakage Yamagata: Good idea.
Masatane Hara: There are many other problems. We must be careful to keep the late lord's intentions.
Katsusuke Atobe: Tonight he will have to meet the late lord's mistresses. How will he be with them?
Masakage Yamagata: Our master has been ill. He must refrain from riding.
:D :D :D
A general (not Pendraken)

The spectacle is wonderful in Kurosawa, but he had no idea of what happens on a battlefield.
Yet again, my inability to to photograph Samuri strikes again...
This batch takes me to 9/14 of the army done! 5 more to finish before Warfare!
Cavalry, extra figures to bring what I had to four bases per unit. front rank are lancers, back rank are mostly bows, allows me to mix up options depending on era.

Maybe the Samurai are riding really fast ;) :P
I'm liking the general.
They look like a good looking army - how long to do the last 5 units?
It's the 21st now, Warfare is 23 days away.
Yoiks!
Half term next week, so should get going quickly.
They look very nice indeed
Take care

Very cool stuff.
Are you going for generic Samurai, or are you looking to model a certain alliance (ie Western Army / Eastern Army of the Sekigahara campaign)?
Uesugi clan with whatever pretty allies I felt like painting that day...
Unhistorical, probably.
The next four Samurai units will be regular Uesugi forces, well, as regular as they get...

Given the way treachery was built into Sengoku warfare, I'd say virtually any alliance would be plausible.
Four Samurai units, including Hatamoto Guards

Ashigaru time now. :)
Yup, one ashugari to do!
A general and a camp to do too!
Very nice, Will. 8)

Finally got the Ashuragu with Naganatas done!
Just the camp and two generals and they are all finished.

Really Nice Will. ;)
I love the Samurai period and have owned various armies in 28mm, 20mm, 15mm (Two Dragons - anyone remember them? Stunning miniatures!) and 10mm, but sadly I have never finished a single army nor have I found a rule set that really captures the period for me.
I do recall some big skirmish rules and even shelled out on a 28mm Samurai Residence from Village Green which was lovely. Fought a single game on a 18ft x 6ft table over a weekend and then boxed them up and sold them on.
The Pendraken miniatures are nice but the thought of attaching all those sashimono defeated me and I sold them on.
wow these are cool. i love all the little flags and the back drops of the first couple of pictures.
Mmmm, I loved my Two Dragons Japanese.
Two Samurai generals finally finished.
I wanted to do a Seven Samuari inspired general stand, but then I realised the film is in black and white!

I find your lack of faith disturbing! ;)
The most bizarre phenomenon of the last two millennia was getting faith regarded as a virtue.

I read that as "plants". Think the exclamation mark confused me.
Thought it was some kind of marojouana raid.

You must be thinking of Oda Marijuana, one of the less successful Sengoku daimyos. Famed for his poem "If the nightingale will not sing.// It's all about how you look at it, man.// What were we talking about?"
Doubtless better in the original.
Well, it's been a while,so here's some thread Necromancy! 💀
Samurai are coming out this weekend for Warfare, so, finally got my camp and Ashugari with arquibus done. Camp originally was four figures on the top left, grown a bit since...

Yes indeed. An Ashigaru commander is known as a Gashira.
Nice!
Since the army is in action this weekend, thought I had better do some purpose painted casulty markers (hint, they'e seen a LOT of action as I lost both games (9-15 & 8-15) while only needing a hit on both my opponent's armies to win either game today)!
