Yet another batch of Feudal Japanese for various Ronin buntai. Most are from Black Hat Miniatures - which I've really had a lot of fun painting. The range is a bit limited, but I'd definitely like to pick up a few more... and some of their Tales of The Dragon King Chinese fantasy figures... or some of their highland dwarves... or centaurs...

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
More of the same. I’m pushing to finish 1000 28mm foot
miniatures by the end of the year – which will mean about 10-15 per day for the next three days… I
was thinking I might bust out some Great War stuff just to stop going cross-eyed trying to do
individual intricate patterns on every damned figure and paint something that might take a bit less time... but then decided just to push ahead with the Japanese. I'm just finishing up some Monks (as well as a few others) which should hopefully be up on Analogue Hobbies tomorrow some time..
Fantastic brushwork on these, as always, Tim. Hard to tell it's a limited range - they all look wonderful. Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean!
DeleteThe range seems limited in that there are unarmoured Samurai, a few armoured ronin, and the peasants - which is great if you just want to do the Seven Samurai... That being said there are a great number of unarmoured samurai in a bunch of great poses. It just seems a bit limited in that there are no ashigaru or armoured samurai or monks - which seem to be the staples of most companies samurai miniature lines. Of course I can get those elsewhere. But no where else can I get such a range of unarmoured samurai.
Great looking figures Tim! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteGreat work, as always...love the bows!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup Phil!
DeleteNice work! Love it, if they wasn't so damm expensive on the exchange rate and shipping I would consider getting some.
ReplyDeleteJust come across your blog recently. Nice works!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can get some Old Glory Ashigaru with spear and bow (especially those with bare head) to add variety to my collection, unfortunately old glory only sell them in a 30 men pack..
It is a bit ridiculous, in this day and age, that they're still selling 25mm miniatures in bags of 30!? I'd like to get a few more to fill out some of the forces I've put together... but I don't know that I'd want 30!? Also, last I checked Old Glory USA only ships to Canada via UPS, which charges absurd brokerage fees on anything coming across the border!?
