Shimazu Samurai(Update Samurai Charging 13.06.12)

[Axebreaker]

This is the start of my Impetus Shimazu Samurai project.Why choose the Shimazu clan? The reason is I really like their background as an underdog clan that is tough as old boots. While they are not a tiny clan or even what I'd term small, they are also not what I'd call a super huge clan either and this has really appealed to me as I prefer the smaller or less well known clans to the more big and well known powerful ones.

First up are some Ashigaru Arquebusier.I decided for a brown armour for my Ashigaru mostly because I like earth tones and since I'll be painting Ashigaru more then Samurai  I should use colours I really enjoy the most. Of course the Samurai will wear various coloured armour.

I wanted a nice contrasting colour to the brown, but again opted out on the more common black,white,red and instead went with a light blue which works out very well for me.

Thanks for viewing

More to come.

Excellent painting and basing, Christopher. And those vignette-style Impetus stands invariably look good

Wow!      The blue is a great contrast.

Thank you everyone for your kind words!

May I ask who makes them?

Certainly they are Perry miniatures. If your looking to challenge your paint brush and your nerves then these are it!

Those are excellent. I love the contrast between the light blue and the white on the sashimono and mantlets. Great job!
