So here are my first two samurai. As you can see, the sprue is packed with options and there is a lot of poseability in the way you can put the figures together.
I knocked up two to have a play with the possibilites:
And then I painted them. I tried one with a very limited palette and two with the slightly more colourful approach common in the Shogunate:
Overall I'm relatively happy but the details are quite shallow; this will require a slightly more careful approach to brushwork and less reliance on washes and glazes. I can definitely see myself building a small warband although I'll have to spend a bit more time on the next ones.
They look pretty tidy to me and at that price it is difficult to say no.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind, Mr. A but they are not up to my usual standard. Got a bit lazy due to being spoiled by the middle earth Perry sculpts!
DeletePhenomenal work - I may have to do a Samurai army once my Teutons are complete!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Looking forward to seeing them
