Title: Wargames Factory Samurai - Painted
Post by: Dr Mathias on 23 May 2012, 01:43:15 AM: Hello,
Here's a link to Wargames Factory's Facebook page, which shows some pictures of the plastic samurai I recently painted for them. Started right after the LPL ended. The sashimono have custom made decals depicting the Date family mon.

Thanks!

The standing legs are stiff, and some of the katana arm combinations are also awkward. I was really surprised and pleased with the yari poses though. Honestly, for a group of samurai for larger battles I would pretty much use only yari anyway, so the WF samurai plastics are definitely an option on the table for large battles.

What size are they? About the same as their vikings?

I'm still not overly keen on these figures though, there's something toy soldier about them :?

cheers

Yeah, could use a couple of those too... ;) I guess, they are homemade? ???

Post by: Dr Mathias on 04 June 2012, 03:19:56 AM: Thanks for the comments all, appreciated. The trees are scratchbuilt and previously showed up in some of my LPL entries. I have full intentions on doing a tutorial which I will add to my Arboreal Extravaganza thread. I'm staying in NYC until the end of the month, so it won't be posted for a few weeks :p

When it does, I'll post here so those interested don't miss it.

The painting on those is superb Matt, and that's an understatement

Post by: Gibby on 22 August 2012, 09:57:10 PM: I'm also curious about the trees! Ideal for what I'm after. Hope you get round to doing that tutorial :P
Title: Re: Wargames Factory Samurai - Painted
Post by: Dr Mathias on 22 August 2012, 11:11:08 PM: Thanks for the comments. The ashigaru are greatly improved and paint up really well. I should be posting pics of them shortly.

The trees are scratch built- I seriously do intend on doing a 'flowering tree' tutorial, I just have some mandatory stuff first. I'll put it on the short list :P
