Just a small 4 figure 25mm entry from me this week. These figures are from The Assault Group and really like the style and design. Last year built up an Impetus Ikko Ikki peasant league army and this has the option to field a Foot Light Samurai unit with longbow. Quite a powerful unit to have. The Ikko Ikki's most notable battles were in the sixteenth century and these based on the armour style these figures are really for earlier period Samurai, but I think they can fit in. When playing Impetus will use them on a light foot sabot base.
This is about at the limit of my painting skills but appreciate that, with the samurai armour, there's still plenty of scope for extra detail. So just 20 points - but pleased to get these finished.
Cheers Jez
Jezz, there's nothing wrong with just 4 figures as entry nor with your painting mate. These chaps are pretty good imho! Samurai armour is not the easiest armour to paint what with all those little frills and thingamabops everywhere so there! Your terrain is very good as well, I really appreciate it when people take time to make photos of their figures set in good terrain. 20 points will be added to your score this evening Jezz!
Lovely work Jez :)

Haven't seen many samurai this Challenge, these are excellent!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Samurai...the Kryptonite of miniature painting...full marks to anyone who can crank out Samurai - excellent work!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Jez! I could never do Samurai
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments - at least these were the early Samurai so there are no sashimono mini flags on the back to paint!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Great photos as well.
