Samurai

Just been asked to paint some Dixon minis for a SESWC chap. He is doing some skirmish games, so individual bases but also using Warbases sabot trays for Impetus.
Anyway thought I would put up some of my painted stuff. The minis are mostly based individually for skirmish games and WAB. However I've ordered some sabot bases myself and am going to use Impetus as I really like the rules, but with the option of WAB if v2 ever appears. The Monks (Sohei) are on a perspex movement tray from Oshiro Model Terrain. They are TAG and Perry with 1 1st Corps in the second rank (left).
The Diorama Taiko base is Museum Miniatures the other 2 are Perry.                                                  

The Peasant unit is from Scheltrum but I used Perry weapons for them. These are on the bulky side and would fit in well with Dixon Miniatures.  I have a lot more peasants to do, Old Glory and Perry mostly as I planned to have Ikko Ikki allies.       

The Peasant's revenge are all Perry but with some conversions.                                                       

The first of the cavalry from the Konishi clan.

Thanks. It is a long term project and getting longer as new easier periods take over the painting queue.

"Easier periods take over the painting queue"

That I can very well understand as that's what's prevented me from getting started on Samurai!I admit to being intimidated and a bit lost on how exactly I wish to do them.One day I hope to straighten up and take the plunge(even bought some figures).Recently,I bought a Foundry Assyrian army and lost all my excuses for taking on difficult armies!(LoL!)

Cheers
