A koi pond is on the list already, just doing some research on water effects.

The garden is a cool idea. Couldn't be an objective obviously because we don't want people stomping all over it. Have to figure out where I put my 28mm-scale zen rake...

Why do you have to make it looks so good.. all weekend I wanted to paint up some Bushido figs after checking out their website.

He’s a born salesman, he should be hired by each of the companies to do some pr work.

Well, I did make a Facebook Group for local Bushido players... does that count for something?

... of course, I'm just about the only one who's posted anything so far (Yorkright did too, but only to say that he didn't have anything to post).

The sword is drawn, and the circle is made. Practice this.

That’s really cool Brian, I’ll use that!

Kotenbo finished. This is the big dog out of my current figures.

Very characterful . Great painting as well.

The first thing to pop into my mind though was the reason Batman wore a bright yellow bat symbol on his chest was to subconsciously get his opponents to aim there where he had more armor to protect him. Your guy seems to have a target painted on his junk...

You guys are getting me excited more about this game and now I’ll wind up buying a starter box with no one to play against . Guess I’ll have to test the waters on my kids again .

LOL! I did not design the figure! At least I didn't make the circle blue. I thought that sneaking in the Japanese flag was a fun touch.

Nice work on the Bushido stuff

Great job Gitz, love the blues. Can’t wait to get a game in sometime soon.

Zenkibo finished.




Here's the group so far. One more to go for my basic 35 rice clan. Strange... the photo here looks blurry to me, but if you go to the gallery and zoom in... it's perfectly clear.

Foghorn Leghorn's brother, the dark one, the one they don't talk about in the coop....................

My son has multiple, awesome, snake warriors... I have Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law... Something doesn't seem very fair about all of this.

Those wings look odd. There's no
discernible "elbow".

Yeah, they're on wrong. They're also poorly sculpted so I had no good way of figuring out how they were supposed to go on.

These guys look great gits! I really like Kotenbo.

Sad thing about the wings, but I love what you've done with them.
I know you've mentioned a few games, but how does it play?

Shame about the wings, but not very noticable tbh - probably what caused the switchup in the first place. And let's not forget it's still a very cool looking and well painted model

I am completely unfamiliar with the game your Clan for, but they are looking really cool. I like the birdmen, what other animal hybrids can you have?

Game plays well, though at times the rules look like they were written by a British lawyer (i.e. are incomprehensible). Actually it plays well even if we're getting the rules wrong. Reminds me of some of the early 40k rules in that they clearly make sense to the guys who wrote them, but they mustn't have had them reviewed by anyone outside the "inner circle" so there are still some holes that need to be plugged (but its easy to come to an accommodation about when your playing). That being said, they have come up with a rules revision (available free from their web site) which fixed a lot issues and there's a couple of international facebook pages where you can get clarifications as well as hang out with fellow enthusiasts.

In spite of this, the game is fun and is fairly easy to play... the things we're getting wrong we don't miss. Lots of very different styles of missions which favor different clans and of course your build matters too. The board becomes its own character and an important part of the game. Painted armies on a nice board make for a very cinematic gaming experience.

There are bird people, snake people, monks, ninjas, syndicate, bakemono (goblins/ogres) pirates (with frog people), human samurai, necromancers. Check out the web site for details on the clans... https://gctstudios.com/store


Here's a few shots from a couple of games Thing 1 and I had with a friend on Monday evening... Our friend Tyler runs monks.

















I also finished the last model from my starter set this morning... so I now have a fully painted 35-rice force! The paintjob looks so crude at this level of magnification... it's depressing! I don't think I thinned my paints enough on the top highlight of the blue which clunked up the whole figure. :/ I really like how the figure looks in-hand though, even with the clunky highlights.

I really like the models. All the bases look really amazing too. I really like the long dried grass on that monks base. Did someone raid the broom?

The whole setup looks great! It looks like a really interesting game!

@Archer: Actually that's my son's Ito miniature. He snagged the dry grass from my stash of basing materials as I used to use the same stuff on my Mantis Warrior Tranquility Snipers (sternguard).



@SlaveToDorkness: It is indeed.

Batlles are looking pretty cool! Ito as in Ogami Itto from Lone wolf and cub?

I don't think so CK. Ito is a common name in Japan.

From Wikipedia: "The Itō clan (伊東氏 Itō-shi) are a Japanese clan that claimed descent from Fujiwara Korekimi (727–789) and Kudō Ietsugu.[1]"

Shame, would have been a cool cross over . If you don' tknow Lone Wolf and Cub, and like graphic novels, definitely try and find it!

Looks very nice, lot of character in the board and I can well imagine a good experience gaming.

Might have to pick up some of those Ito clan, always happy to have some more snake people to cut up....

That last ranger-looking avian is awesome. Like if a Rito joined the Sheikah. Hope it gets a video game
