And a few more;

Nice looking force, Mijalo.

Which all goes to remind me that I have a huge Pendraken Samurai collection sat under the bed needing some undercoat, basing and paint...

Not sure I can face hours of securing banners

[mijalo]

Banners - tell me about it! Once my next delivery gets to Korea, that'll be my next task to finish them off.

[nikharwood]

Very nicely done - it's the thought of the banners that puts me off a bit too...

[mijalo]

It doesn't put me off but it is the least favourite part of the paint job

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Really impressive stuff!

[mijalo]

Really impressive stuff!

ありがとう!!!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

No worries (had to go through Google translate for that)...

[mijalo]

Hurrah for google!!!

[FierceKitty]

Lovely stuff, but why are the Takeda backing up the Mori? They tended to be the dominant force, didn't they?

[Luddite]

Exceptional work sir. Very inspiring! 

[ghalgor]

Looking great.

Well spotted, but there were two branches of the Takeda. In the mid-16th Century Kai (present day Nagano) the Takeda were the clan led by the famed Shingen. The other branch (somewhat less significant than their Kai relatives) were in Aki (Hiroshima area), and swung between friendship and hatred of the Mori.
