From AlexS - Clan Yoda for "To the Strongest!" (312 points)

In the autumn I studied the new rules from Simon Miller with interest. I liked drawing the battle, and the rules have interesting mechanics with the movement and the battlefield. So I decided to play these rules with 1/72 scale Samurai figures manufactured by "Zvezda". Here is the result of my work on the first of the warring clans - Clan Yoda.

Generals


Ashigaru with yari


Ashigaru bowmen


Foot samurai 


Ashigaru skirmishers


Mounted samurai


Camp


General view


Thematic cards


So that is a total of nine mounted figures, 50 figures and one mule for the Samurai.

PS: If I have counted correctly, then with this message, I crossed the line 2500 points. What can I say about this?
Only:

PPS: I have also finished six polish Hussars - they are not based, as the rules I am using don't call for that.



So that is six more mounted figures. Yo-hu! 
Congratulations Alex on smashing through the 2,500 point level - you continue to impress with the pace, quality and quantity of your submissions.  I'm particularly impressed to see Samurai - that is a period and manner of gaming I've always wished I could try myself, but I find the whole setting too intimidating to tackle myself.  Well done - worthy of a Homer Simpson "woohoo" indeed!

  3. I saw these and though "I am going to do that!" forgetting that I already have 2 Samurai armies and no one in the club understands the period at all. Which is a shame as these do look splendid.

  4. Nice looking stuff! Those Zvezda 20mm's actually look pretty darn nice! I've usually just skipped them as toylike.

  5. Very nice, they're tied together really well. Can't say I'd fancy fighting with a whacking great banner on my back..... I'd get blown over!

    "In this one, strong the painting is"
    (oh, come on now - I can't be the only one whose brain made them try to read everything in a certain Jedi master's voice!)
