The towns women
The farmers
The travellers, including a pipe player with a cage on his head - will have to find out what that means. That is 20 figures and enough women to get frequent flyer miles in a balloon. Which will take me to O'Grady's Gulch
Finally for this post my Curtgeld.
This wandering Samurai is called Sunorodo (Snowlord) and he wanders the frozen north in a quest to find his true master
So that is 21 figures = 105pts
plus a balloon ride = 30
plus Curtgeld = 25
total 160pts
Wow! That is a lot of lovely painting that you got done during your minioning marathon yesterday. Sunorodo looks like a spiffing addition to anyone's collection. Of course, with so many of the menfolk away fighting in the war, you should really have more female villagers - I believe that Annie at Bad Squiddo Games has an excellent range...
Your only error in judgement is to submit all of the womenfolk together - as I understand it, it is one balloon ride per submission, not one per figure submitted. Even more reason to buy some more female Japanese villagers.
160 points it is to add to your already impressive tally for the first two weeks.

Wow Martin! Your village definitely needed residents and you’ve got that covered and more. Great selection of NPCs and two footed scenery depending on needs.
ReplyDeleteI like the Snowlord samurai too.
Cheers, the highlights on his face make him look like Adam Ant, odd as not like that in the flesh (lead)
DeleteTamsin, thought about keeping the women in reserve but I'll just buy some more, only have 1 left to paint
ReplyDeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteLooking super cool! I love the varied poses, especially the old man, great work indeed.
ReplyDeletemany thanks, i did enjoy painting them
DeleteSuperb entry. I have some civvies to do too and hope mine look half as good as yours
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. Sure they will
DeleteOh, these are fabulous, Martin. I really need to up my game with more civilians with my Japanese collection so your entry here is very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAs a geek-note: The fellow playing the pipe with a basket on his head is a Komuso, a mendicant Buddhist monk of the Fuke Zen school. The wicker basket 'helmet' was a symbol to the aspiration of having no ego. From what I unserstand spies often used Komuso garb to travel into and recon enemy territory (a great scenario idea!).
Cheers, do like a spy in disguise. Great scenario idea
Delete...and Sunorodo is terrific. Great pattern work on his kimono!
ReplyDeleteTa, Google translate is genius
DeleteGreat stuff Martin. Civilians are a great addition to all sorts of scenarios for games, and can really add a lot. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteLovely work Martin, adding a load of civilians to a game can really make it pop.
ReplyDeletecheers, yes it has been a thing lacking from my games
DeleteThis is a great entry! Colors used look very natural and realistic. And the work on the Sunorodo kimono is oustanding. Love it
ReplyDeletethanks, do like painting them
DeleteNice little collection..
ReplyDeletecheers mate
