[Boshin War] Imperial troops painted

[rokurota]

As title says, I have painted the Imperial troops pack (BW-02) of Bac Ninh Miniatures. The nirayamagasa (battle hat) have been painted with one golden line, but there was many designs with the golden color as leading. I will publish on my blog pictures with some of these designs. 
 
I hope you like them!

These look really good.

Excellent! What army would that be? I know nothing about this period and I'm guessing how to paint mine.

[rokurota]

Many thanks for the comments!
Pentaro, they can represent the Imperial army, or clans loyalist to the emperor as Chosu or Tosa, but not Satsuma because they worn a conical hat called hatsumurigasa. Separate heads with hatsumurigasa will be the next release.

[Pentaro]

Thanks! I find the Tosa hat painful to look at, so I'll choose any other clan

The mix of western and traditional japanese gear makes these armies really attractive to me. I've seen somewhere pictures of officers in western civilian clothes which would make great miniatures.

I gotta say, your trees steal the show!  Great work!

I am growing more and more interested in this period with each release.  Nice sculpts and paint work.

You mean the Satsuma one, don't you?

[Pentaro]

Whatever.

Question, are there any good movies about the Boshin war period?
