10mm samurai using fantastic battles rules

[Rubbsalot]

Hi all, finally got a face to face game sorted after 16 months of waiting. the armies i bought from Pendraken earlier this year and it was great to finally get some gaming time done using them!
Gluing all of those teeny weeny flags on was worth it i think?





Anyway, for anyone interested, here is  the link to the Batrep on my blog

I'm new around here so if this breaches any rules my apologies.

cheers

That's a good start! Welcome aboard, and it's good to see Japanese battles that look like battles.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

First Welcome - good looking battle, have fun in the forum, we are all insane 

[Ithoriel]

Great battle report, nice pictures of beautiful figures.

As a first post it's hard to beat!

Welcome to the forum.

You may find, if you haven't already, that it is warm, welcoming, well read, well informed and well weird by turns

[DecemDave]

Welcome and jolly pretty armies there.

I strongly disagree that "we are all insane", its just that every time we see a picture of an army, we have an urge to put orders in for yet more shiny figures but expect that this time they will get painted and played with instead of put in drawer for later.

But what would have happened  at Sekigahara, if....?

Great report and lovely looking figures.

Welcome on board . That's a superb looking game and certainly well worth gluing on all of those banners, as the visual spectacle is a joy to behold .

Welcome! That's a superb looking game. I've just done one unit of banners so far at it was pretty fiddly so very impressed at your forces and battle report!

[Rubbsalot]

Thanks for the lovely welcome and comments on the game/armies. We hope to do another next month.

To anyone doing an army and adding the sashimono flags i found that the best way was to lay two small bands of blutac on a small mdf base about one cm apart, then lay the figure base into the bottom one. Next lay the flag into the top one and align them before adding a spot of glue. that way the glue doesnt mix with the blutac which can be a pain. - probs easier to show than describe so may take some pics of the process next time i do some units. (yes theres more coming- i have a problem)

Sorry there is no cure, spent lots trying to get one

Great looking armies, and a great game.

I've only gone with a couple of banners per unit, but am starting to feel that I need to increase the numbers a bit.

How did you create the commanders camps? I've been thinking about doing something similair, but I'm not quite sure the best way to proceed?
