Title: UVS in the Far East - Sarissa Precision Lanterns 11/02/2024
Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on October 29, 2023, 06:02:02 PM
At SELWG 2023 I picked up the recently released Samurai Warriors and the Ashigaru Warriors and Shooters box sets.

See the above link for box and sprue pictures.

Each box builds 24 figures (the Warrior and Shooter boxes have common body sprues with different weapon sprues).

Three Samurai.

All need sword/scabbards to be added.
Now just need to start painting them.

They don’t look too bad.

Probably won’t get any though as I’ve still got a large pile of Perrys to get through  lol

Good design rather than my skill.

My previous venture into the period was the Dixon's range bought from Salute at Kensington Town Hall. They just did not engage me.

I have not assembled any figures with them yet, but these are the body sprues.
Samurai body sprue.

Title: Re: UVS in the Far East - Fireforge Ashigaru and Samurai for Ronin 31/12/2023

While I slowly build the figures to make two mini-armies for Oathmark, here is a war band for Ronin (I do not know the actual points as I will be ordering Ronin shortly - this is based on one of the North Star starter armies).

The force comprises:

The archers (I still have to add the quiver, sword and possibly slung helmets).

The invisible bow strings are a bit of a stumbling block - the bows are difficult to position so they would not foul the armour - I think they definitely would foul the helmets.

First bit of painted scenery, a bit of street lighting courtesy of Sarissa Precision.

Some of the pieces are a bit delicate, and when assembling can twist a bit.

Next up (hopefully) is a Rice Store.
