Just a small posting this week as I bring my Samurai army to completion.
First up two units of Ronin each of 16 figures. These are 15mm from Two Dragon Products (Dixon)
64 pts
The Baggage and Stuff.
Three Large Pavise (6pts) , a very large drum (6pts) and a Samurai getting on his horse (10pts). I have scored each piece of equipment as 2 pts. Hope that is ok. It was just easier. (Total 22pts)
There are four bases of baggage with a total of 30 figures (60pts)
Finally a Camp?
There are 12 figures on this base (24pts). In addition to the usual Dixon ones, I have added some Essex figures as I need a seated general, and as I don't like throwing figures away, I added his Essex body guard (which may be from an earlier period than the rest of the army)
So the Samurai is done (well for the moment - an army is never truly finished I'm told)
Total 170 pts
Before I started on my next project I thought I'd have a play. I have always wanted to make an 80 years War Spanish Army but never really liked how Tercio were portrayed in the rules I have seen. I did start this army a few years back and some of the figures were shown on this site in previous challenges. However, I noticed that Baroque rules had a whole Tercio on one base, rather than made up of lots of smaller units, so I gave it a go with the remainder if the unpainted Spanish I had. Anyhow, two Spanish Tercios, 15mm Essex figures. Still not sure. 93 figures 186Pts
I have already started the next project so something new in my next post.
Total 356 pts
TeemuL: Good to see one (or two) projects getting finished and a promise of a next one starting. Your two Tercio bases look great, there is something special when there are clearly differently equipped minis on the same base. Quite like a diorama, I'd say. And of course the baggage bases for your Samurai army have similar feeling. I'm sure they make the battlefield look more alive. Two additional points for the camp and overall goodness!
Why turn up with one Tercio, when you can have two !
ReplyDeleteNice post - really like the Samurai baggage camp.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant painting. The large units and dioramas look great. Why the swords outside the camp? Traditional to leave one’s weapon at the gate or spares?
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Grahame -- I always like to see a nice baggage train, and the general's camp is first rate. I'm not convinced by the weapons the ronin are sporting however, that almost seems like fantasy 😃
ReplyDeleteLovely looking units and I like that everything can go on one base with both Impetus and Baroque.
