Bandit Buntai

This is my Bandit buntai for Ronin – Skirmish Wargames in the Age of the Samurai that we will be using in the 10^th Annual Wargaming Birthday Bash/Winter Wargaming Weekend. It’s a larger buntai than most of the others – probably the largest… but it’s highest ranking figure is Rank 3. And there’s just one of him… I suppose I could have padded it out with a bunch of Ronin (that could take over leadership if the actual leader died!)… but, I didn’t…

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

I have half of Sohei Buntai #2 complete, but I’m waiting on a second order to totally finishe them up before I post them. I the meantime I could finish up the few extra things I need to complete the Ikko-Ikki - which is a few archers and some Samurai. After the Ikko-Ikki it will be on to the rest of the Bushi Buntai (unless the rest of Sohei Buntai #2 arrives – then I’ll probably finish that one up!)

But I have a few completely unrelated items I’ve also been working on…
