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

And with a general

Ashigaru time now.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Yup, one ashugari to do!
A general and a camp to do too!

[Techno]

Very nice, Will.

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.

[LinLin]

wow these are cool. i love all the little flags and the back drops of the first couple of pictures.

[FierceKitty]

Mmmm, I loved my Two Dragons Japanese.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

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!




And on this one, well, a small conversion, you work it out!

[Techno]

Very nice indeed, Will ! 

I wondered why the first two pics were monochrome, until I read the text.
