Good stuff again, Matthew. 

Cheers - Phil. 

Very nice

Thanks!

Some Greek Hoplites:





And Mycenean Chariots for Trojan War (final basing pending):





Not so keen on these as it's a little hard to tell which way is the front. Tempted to turn one of the chariots around and give them a warrior in the car to make it a bit clearer. Will see how I feel about it in a few days. These were an experiment that I based and primed a while back then painted directly on the base to see how it would go since chariots are fiddly on painting sticks. Since then I've got a few figures attacking from a chariot that may add a bit more dynamism to the base.

Very nice, Matthew. 

Cheers - Phil.

Those look great

Some Romans to round out the month:






Though of course now I see the picture I realise one or two of the shields needs to be touched up a little!

Haven't done much painting lately, been focused on refining my rules, but now I'm reasonably happy with the core of them, and my figures have arrivy, I'm ready to start putting together a few units. Probably aim to have three levels of army.

One for early period that can be used for Genpei War, Mongol Invasion and maybe Genko War.

One for big battle Sengoku Jidai and Imjin War with each unit often an entire clan.

One for smaller battle Sengoku Jidai, such as between two rival clans where each unit is a subdivision of the clan.

Did a bit of bases and blu tac tonight for a few potential units.

For the early period my aim is to go with fairly small units, maybe a 40-50mm frontage representing a mix of samurai and retainers for the most part.

Something like these:







Not quite set on any of these yet but maybe something between the first two, a 40x30 or 40x40, then can go 40x20 for smaller units and 60x40 for larger ones.

Then for the larger clan formations of the Sengoku Jidai I was planning on doing 60x40 or 80x40 for a standard unit, but it becomes a little cramped:





I suspect 100x50 is my best bet for a balance of feasibility and showing the formations I want:





(I couldn't get the banners to stay up in the last few)

Though will need to work out how I want to represent the smaller and larger unit options with that as a standard unit size. Probably 50x25 for small and 100x75 for large, 100x100 for huge.

Those should look rather spiffy, when they're done, Matthew.

Cheers - Phil.

First unit done, a base of early feudal Japanese Samurai and their retainers:





The larger unit from the later period is based and in the process of drying.

Nice stuff

Looking good !

Cheers - Phil.
