6mm Sengoku Jidai

[vcina]

Great work. Love the basing.

Wonderfully visual terrain and figures, especially those fields with villagers tending them
Love it!
 

But in 6mm?
You are obviously quite mad, sir.
 

[Osmoses]

Haha. I did a few hundred in 15mm and I have to say I find that the 6mm are much easier. No wire spears and sashimono to glue, no decals, no sandals etc etc

One of the other things 6mm lets you do is reconstruct large units in 1:1 scale. This is a 700-man unit based on the one on the Kawanakajima Kassen Byobu showing a Takeda unit, via a diagram in "Die Samurai der Sengoku-Zeit 1" by T. Weber. This illustrates the interaction between relatively small units of differently armed troops in this period. Here, missile troops are 5 figures per base, ashigaru spear are in 2 ranks of 5 per base, and samurai are in 2 ranks of 4 per base. Mounted samurai have 2 mounted figures per base along with 4 foot attendants.

Very impressive!

Looks amazing!!!  Great work!

[Gibby]

Brilliant! 

[Osmoses]

Thanks.
I've made some more village bases using buildings by Mura Miniatures and a couple from Castle Arts (which are roughly similar in size despite being nominally 10mm). The torii is also by Castle Arts, which is very nice though a little big. Civilians are GHQ Vietnam civilians. These are actually poseable to some extent so you can have them bowing or pointing. Anyway, here's some pics of the buildings along with some fields and forest bases. All bases are 10cm squares.

Lovely work.

Your terrain must be a joy and delight to play on.

[Mason]

That is a beautiful looking table.

Mura terrain?

[Osmoses]

Yes, Mura buildings. Except the shrine and one of the village house which are Castle Arts.

[FierceKitty]

Very attractive.

The vilage and vilagers look great, is it a modular layout or just broken up for convenience?

[ulgurstasta]

Really cool stuff! Where did you get those hills from?
