Bit late finding this unoffical army list for Warhammer fantasy now that GW has taken it to the shed round back and put a bullet in it but figured I would share anyway.

Warhammer Nippon.

I hated that army list. It felt like whoever wrote it was a really annoying manga and/or anime fan. Sumo Warriors? Kabuki Dolls? Historical samurai armies were interesting enough without all this fanboy crap.

That bad huh? I only flicked through it so far. In all fairness though it is set in the warhammer fantasy universe which historically inspired but far from historical. That said I would have rathered the fantasy come from stuff like Kami, Oni and other Yokai.

It's possible that I'm being too picky, but I prefer my samurai to be highly trained soldiers rather than superheroes and wizards.

Probably a warhammer historical list would be a better option then.

There was a Warhammer Historical book for Japan scheduled, but it wasn't released before WHH went belly up. I'm still a little bummed about that.

Thats a shame. Have you ever read Killer Katana's? I cant get hold of a copy of either the first or second for a reasonable price.

Managed to make some progress on my tengu force for Bushido (also contains human tribes people and Kami) today. Nothing is finished yet but things are starting to look colorful at least.

Air Kami



Three Humans and Three Tengu

Are Kami's like elementals then Carlos?

Yeah very similar to an elemental or Spirit.

Good stuff, carlos. Just saw your decidedly Welsh dice box from the other page now. Nice touch.

Say, did you have a look at those Daisho rules which were released a few months ago? They also cover slightly fantasy-ish feudal Japanese things. Maybe worth having a look at. It's like 15 quid for a hardcopy.

Thanks sig. Yeah I picked up daisho rules on release. I played a game at salute which convinced me to pick up a copy. Haven't actually had the chance to play a game since I got the rules mind you but I do have them.

I really need to carve out some painting time as I went on a painting course a few weeks ago but have yet to have a chance to put that stuff into practice.

Hey guys.

Started work on some Batman Miniatures. First up is Nightwing.

He isn't finished because I feel he needs more work. Would you guys be able to recommend anything that glaring needs adding or fixing.



I have a feeling that photo isnt actually good enough to reveal much.

Looking good! All I would suggest is hitting it with a matte varnish when you're done, just to take the shininess down a notch. Other than that, good stuff!

Thanks Para. I just changed the photo. Not sure if you posted before or after I changed it.

Your Tengu are making good progress.

I've read Killer Katana 2.The scenario section is excellent.

Looks good so far Carlos. There's a lot of black but disparate pieces are handled differently so it isn't too samey. I like it so far for sure, not what I could suggest.

Yeah I kinda got distracted by Batman stuff for a bit But the Tengu will be finished soon.

I need to get myself a copy of Killer Katana's 2.

Think I am going to spend a bit of time putting some more contrast on Nightwing.

Searched my emails to see where I got my copy and found I bought it from Caliver Books 6 years ago. They still list a revised version on their website so I assume they have stock, however while it's slightly cheaper than the version I bought it's still expensive.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've seen it on caliver books but I have to be honest it's a little more than I wanted to pay. Will still get it in the future though,

Nightwing is now Finished. Red Hood (Arkham Knight Version) will be up next I think.





Didn't do much from the last time. Added some electricity to the Eskrima sticks and touched up a mistake here and there. Then chucked the guy on his base and considered him done. Sadly the photos don't really seem to show the highlighting very well or that the eyes are white.

Looks good to me!

Looking forward to Red Hood, a fantastic mini.

That looks really nice. The red stands out without being garish, and the black works well at the distance in these photos.

Think I am gonna paint red hoods jacket the classic brown/beige colour rather than the black and white of the Arkham Knight version.

Looks good, looking forward to the rest!

Thanks mate. Had fun painting that one. Never worked with so much black before. I think the red scheme from the new 52 nightwing comics stands out more than the blue would have.

Yeah the blue could have ended up washing out and looking light it was more black highlights.

thanks I am a little worried the highlights on the black won't be very visible at tabletop distance. If that's the case I will revisit it. But for now I have so much to paint I am happy leaving it there.

I kept the base simple using the knight models bases with the slot filled in with putty then painted an highlighted as I wanted the model to be more of the focus than the base. Might do more with other bases, not sure yet

Quickly blocked out my colour scheme for red hood tonight. It was a rush job to get an idea of how the colour looked on the model so its pretty sloppy. Wanted to get some of your thoughts before I went any further. What do you guys think? Does it work?



A little about my chosen and planned colour scheme and Batman Arkham Knight Spoilers Ahead





Thanks guys

Nice! Being a big fan of the Red Hood comics, I like the brown jacket a lot, and it should definitely work with that scheme.

Thanks mate. Yeah in happy with the look of it so far so will get that finished this week between the rainbow six and work
