Nice looking force, Mijalo. :-bd
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 :(
Banners - tell me about it! Once my next delivery gets to Korea, that'll be my next task to finish them off.
Very nicely done - it's the thought of the banners that puts me off a bit too...
It doesn't put me off but it is the least favourite part of the paint job :(
Really impressive stuff!
No worries (had to go through Google translate for that)...
Hurrah for google!!! ;)
Lovely stuff, but why are the Takeda backing up the Mori? They tended to be the dominant force, didn't they?
Exceptional work sir. Very inspiring! =D>
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.
Thanks for the info. New one to me.
The Takeda of Aki are very much overshadowed by the Takeda of Kai. They were crippled militarily by the Mori in 1523, but the clan's main line existed until Takeda Nobuzane in 1555, although the Harada and Yamaguchi of the Edojidai are descended from the Aki Takeda.
Just a few more shots;

If interested, the scenics (except the Pendraken bamboo fences) are scratchbuilt

Have you checked out Mura Miniatures' 6mm buildings? I'm using them with my 10mm Momoyama armies, and they look nifty.
Very inspiring! so cool
Love the terrain! Looks just the ticket.

I saw them and was impressed. I'm no professional mini-architect but I like fiddling and tinkering ;)
These look very nice, the scenics as well, thanks for posting them!
