Hi all,
I decided to dabble with some Samurai miniatures. They will mostly be "historical" in nature but I couldn't resist some fantasy elements mixed in.
First up is an Oni by Zenit Miniatures from their Kensei range. He's quite a beasty!!

Thanks gents.
Next up is an undead samurai. He's really a test run to see how it would look. I used a Warlord Games samurai with some old Wargames Factory skeleton bits. I think it's OK but the horse sculpt is a little too smooth and the head conversion is a little messy. I will probably bite the bullet and buy some Zenit Miniatures undead samurai.

Looking good, I have been thinking of similar bought some clan wars samurai off here, thinking of painting some orcs or goblins I got here red/brown as oni.

Don't forget Wyrd has some undead asian models and oni in their Malifaux range. And Iron Wind Metals has a few undead samurai as well.

I had some similar ideas a while ago. I think the old Clan Wars range would be a gold mine for you!

Thanks guys. I will have a closer look at the Clan Wars range.

Fantastic stuff! I'm painting up that oni at the moment and getting bogged down in all the details, well done for getting him finished 😊
Nice realistic twist on the traditional colourscheme too, it works really well
