Hi,

this is my first entry. As you can see, my miniature is not very suited for gaming - unless you have a very large gaming table

.
The figure ist from the Kensei Game from Zenit Miniatures. It's scale is more 25mm or even smaller than 28...

That's excellent, love the black and red colour sceme

Superb, really fantastic miniature and paint scheme and base

May have to look into that company...

Kensei minis seem to be a little bit taller than the Perry ones, but are tabbed rather than with integrals. They also have a more true scale form rather than heroic scale, though they still fit in with the old L5R ones as well as Perry's and a few others with the various Ronin stuff my group has for our buntais.

Of course, the ones I have are all female (Female hero and the onna bushi).

Thank you guys for your comments!

@Bugsda: Colour scheme for Ninja is always hard - black with black and brown...so I was happy that this figure in itself is more dramatic and the face mask just needed red

@skip: just as SotF wrote - they are a bit taller; although I just have the Town People Set for comparison

Hi,

it's me again. I thought, I show you the second single mini from Kensei I have painted. And instead of opening another thread I will append this one.

The Figure is the Buke Daimyo from Zenit miniatures:

Although he is not historicaly correct, he catches the atmosphere of jidaigeki movie very well!
Putting both halves of the horse together was real pain; the base is flocked with "forest in a pot" from "reality in scale" finished with some brown wash. The reins are made from two coloured twine.

Cheers
Andreas

Lovely work - I really like the feeling you've captured.

thanks for that, was thinking of getting some, especially some creatures like an Oni as i have many perry figs already

Thanks von Lucky !

@Skip: I have that Ogre on my desk - so here is a short comparison:
from left (obviously) the Ogre from Kensei, Monk from Perry, Taisho Otokodate from Kensei and Shuichi from Bushido Game

thanks for the comparison andisan, that ogre looks great!

Thank you Funkybrush!

You're welcome skip. Yeah, a great, dynamic pose - very threatening. Unfortunately I find red colour very hard to paint...so he will have to wait
