Sorting through the 'small battle' bases. Here they are arranged as a 700-ish man sonae.

Really impressive army and the amount of work you've done.

Astounding work. That's how an army should look! This is a real good advert for 6mm in my opinion.

Thanks. Discovering 6mm (or rather discovering that I could actually face painting them after all) opened up huge new possibilities in the hobby for me. There are a lot of things you can do in 6mm that just aren't possible in larger scales.

Returned to the 'big battle' project to have a go at an experimental modification for the 'To the Strongest' rules.

Looks amazing!

Incredible looking armies, great inspiration.

I'm about to buy a load of the new Pendraken Samurai ranges, and your armies are giving me lots of good ideas on how to present them.

How are you doing the sashimono on the figures, it looks like you are adding these to pretty much all the figures?

Osmoses · « **Reply #128 on:** June 08, 2020, 09:11:06 PM »

The sashimono are printed on paper. The paper is then folded in half and glued over the cast sashimono. There's some examples on my 'blog. You could almost certainly do the same in 10mm.

I did all my figures with sashimono because I was happy to paint a few thousand figures. There probably weren't anywhere near that many on a Sengoku battlefield. It's probably more sensible to have a pool of figures without sashimono that you can use for any army and command groups with banners and sashimono specific to different clans. It all depends on how you're going about it in terms of number of figures and scope of the project really.

Thanks, I did wonder if they were printed - which sounds a very sensible approach - and interesting to hear you added them to the cast sashimono, I did wonder if paper ones would have worked directly on the smaller figures.

The spectacle of massed sashimono certainly looks great - I will have a think about my approach, as you say having some more generic figures allows more flexibility with moving troops between forces.

I don't really NEED any more buildings, but with Pendraken re-releasing the old Castle Arts 10mm range, I couldn't resist getting some. These are really excellent models, and I guess are on the smaller side of 10mm. So with Baccus being on the larger side of 6mm, and around the 1/220 scale range, these buildings fit OK.

Village house with some fields.

With some field bases. All 10cm squares.

Some more unpainted and uncleaned buildings from the range:

Great looking buildings. I also love your terrain and figures.

Outstanding project.

Smart move with the Chinese civilians. Those Mura buildings are now owned by 2d6, they're being remastered and re-released, much crisper casts...

Yes, there's looking to be a decent choice for 6mm buildings now. More to come from both ranges.

Osmoses · « **Reply #134 on:** June 29, 2020, 06:23:52 PM »

Finished some more of the Pendraken buildings to make 2 more village bases. Again, really nice models.

Some Perfect Six sacks and boxes added in the background. Usual cheap trees from China given a recolouring.

Some GHQ Vietnam civilians playing a game of Go.

The bases integrated into the rest of the village
