20mm this time, would have really like to run it in 10mm but there are no Samurai without armour out there

Started with two Rival Schools at 100pts each

Roadside shrine and some more Samurai

Another addition to the graveyard

I like the two-level effect and the path on the Roadside shrine

Ni!

Who is the manufacturer of the (20mm ?) figures please?
I'm assuming the terrain bits are Alternative Armies 15mm pieces?
Cheers
Mark

Impressive stuff

The figures are from bandbminiatures
and you are quite correct terrain bits are from AA unless scratch built by myself.

The figures come in packs of with a few poses in each pack. These are the Samurai in Kamonos

You get a mix of 20 of them per pack. But the clever bit is they have different heads

A bit of arm manipulation and green stuff work and you can make them even more unique

These two for example

I wanted more a traveling band of Ronin so I can use them for various adventures. Currently looking at adapting a song of blades and heroes

Currently looking for some suitable supernatural adversaries

I'm thinking 25mm pre-slotter kobolds and hobgoblins might work as Oni

Many thanks for the manufacturer info.

Dixon Miniatures do a quite nice range of 25/28mm Oni in their Legends of Nippon range (https://www.dixon-minis.com/shop/samurai-25mm/#sub-legends-of-nippon) including: Dai-Oni, Oni, Bakemono Goblins and even Tengu.
But you are right, if you can get hold of the OOP Citadel oriental hobgoblins they would be ideal, as they are closer to a true 25mm scale.

Mirliton Miniatures took over the old Grenadier Miniatures fantasy ranges and there are a number of interesting oriental monsters etc. in the various Classic Fantasy range - including a Kirin (https://www.mirliton.it/fantasy-25-28mm/fantasy-classic/kirin-fc335) & some beautiful Hisie and Shang and Chin Dragons (but they are metal and therefore not cheap). They also do a number of Eastern Hobgoblin figures (https://www.mirliton.it/fantasy-25-28mm/hobgoblin/eastern-hobgoblin-warriors-two-handed-weapons-4-hg008) but be warned, they are quite large.
I'd recommend that if you are making an order to Mirliton, it is well worth taking the time to go through all the various Mirliton Fantasy ranges (regardless of what they are titled) as often you'll find suitable oriental/Japanese figures/monsters in a variety of places.

An interesting project.
Do keep posting about it.
Cheers
Mark
NB: I've always found Mirliton to be a very reliable overseas supplier (into the UK).

Thanks lots of cool ideas there

I did look at Dixon but wasn't sure how they would scale

What graveyard is complete without a restless spirit  :D

what colour(s) did you use for that ghostly effect?

Off white base coat with a couple of watered down bright green layers almost like a wash, dry brushed with them in a 50/50 mix

Torii gate/shrine wip

Many thanks - I have a 15mm 'Army of the Dead' HoTT army I am build to accompany my Rohirrim and the effect looks perfect for what I am looking for.

I painted some the same way a while back using magister militum ghosts adding some swords and shield to make them a bit more battle ready

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/61/16577-020224153916.jpeg)

Although looking back I think I used  yellow/green for them

Bit more Terrain

With a Torii Gate

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/62/16577-170624185803.jpeg)

Just discovered something really interesting

It turned out there is a Samurai setting rule book based on a song of Blades and Heroes called Bushi no yumi, SBH and it's various redskins are my go too rules for skirmish games so I m dead happy to find them

Working on a bit more Terrain

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/62/16577-210624185036.jpeg)

Very nice - the bamboo doesn't need any added painting IMHO.

All very 'House of Flying Daggers' - NB: a stunningly beautiful film, which I was lucky enough to see at an IMax Cinema in HD - the scenes with the forest and fallen leaves is truly breathtaking.

I decided the same

I wish somone would make some decent Chinese figures in the HoFD/crouching Tiger style

You'll be needing an appropriate hostelry or Inn next  :D

I was thinking tea house  :D

There's some cool 3D print stuff out there

I also picked up some 1/72 tumbling dice early samurai, they are slightly bigger than the others but come in multiple parts so ideal for conversions

The head swap on the TD figure helps blend them together

Pretty happy how it's turned out

You could look at the Dark Alliance plastic stuff. Sunjester has used quite a few , I think there ae pictures on his blog

I've decided not to go down the fantasy road for now

Toying with a Ronin/Dux Britanniarum cross over idea I have for a campaign

Not been up to much, misses bought me a display case that's working well for this little project

Retired Ashigaru/Village elder

Quite the growing collection  :-bd

Very cool

Thanks

I'm still trying to find suitable oni and bakemono, not much in 20mm and 15mm is bit small

Havn't been up to much

Picked up a couple more houses but got them scaled down a bit as the original seemed to have a 25mm footprint and I'll max be playing on a 2x2 board and didn't want them to dominate the board

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/63/16577-020824141206-63244165.jpeg)

Nice plan

Thanks

Still need more obstacles and elements that will give some elevation

Not been up to much on the modeling front,waiting on a couple of orders to come through.

I have been quite absorbed by Ghost of tsushima. It's an inspiring place, with loads of ideas for terrain.

Started small
