Returning to Ronin after a hiatus but decided to try a smaller scale.
I thought about using 15mm but old eyes need something a bit bigger so I went with 20mm
Here is my first 100pts Koryu Buntai
All conversions of the Excellent B&B miniatures range
-
Lots of character, I like those and the muted colors a lot!
-
Thanks, the figures are a great base to start with
I've a few others to finish but plan on geting a bunch more
-
Waiting on a terrain order or two but in the mean time I'm tinkering

A rival rural school

Terrain time

I shall follow this thread with the utmost interest. A key reason being the unusual choice of scale. I must say the 20mm B&B figures bear a passing similarity to the 25mm ones by Dixon Miniatures. Both ranges clearly have a lot of character.
I also see that Blotz has a dedicated 20mm range of MDF scenery for Japan. I would very much like to see how your terrain collection progresses.
-
They are great figures, bit tough to repose but a great base to add some extra detail. Not sure I'm going down the MDF road yet
I want to try an Oshiro building or two first as I like a compact board
The first two terrain pieces are 15mm too being from Alternative armies

Is where I first saw them, and how they look before I modified them
There are Shogun series and 7 samurai characters as well as the usual monks,ronin bandits and military figures
It's a well rounded set I was surprised they see such little attention
-
And here they are with some paint
-
Thank you very much for explaining. And please keep the pictures coming.

No worries, I'm only picked up one pack so far, the Samurai in Kamonos, I've a pack of the Ronin on order.
Each pack has 4 basic poses but they have different heads and open hands foe different weapons, katana, naginata bows etc.
-
So for example I made these three unique by angling the arms/hands
-
This pair had heads at different angles so apart from a bit of filing to angle the weapons differently All I did to change them up was to add a straw hat on one and a gourd and back sling pack on the othet
-
Run out of figures until the next order arrives so will chip away at the terrain until then
-
Lovely figures! Is there a link to the manufacturer? Thanks

Bandbminiatures.co.uk
Lots of variations from full armour to ronin, bandits and villagers
They even do individual 7 Samurai and a Shogun pack
These are just the Samurai in Kamonos
I've dressed them up a bit
It was this thread that first turned me towards them

Adding some more terrain
-
More terrain work while I wait for the Ronin to arrive
-
Tumbling dice also do similar size Samurai
They are quoted as 1/72 and come as multiparty figures
I bought a couple of packs on a whim
Fit in ok but that bit better with a head swap
-
More terrain
