This is my latest for my Samurai an Ashigaru pikemen unit of 40 men.

Blimey, that's impressive. Very formidable. Nicely painted!

Nice!

I love pike blocks

Awesome job! The faces look fantastic.

Wow, cool!

Wargames Factory? Perry? Inquiring minds and all.

I am so glad to see something other than WWII that I almost cried when I saw the title.

These look very good, well done! What company produces these miniatures? I've been looking at getting some Sengoku Jidai era units for a while now.

Really cool man. I recently have done 60 of these guys over a few days and they are a lot of fun.

One suggestion I read somewhere was that the paint they used on their armour had a sheen to it. So adding a gloss varnish to bits of the armour plates and hats was a suggestion to consider.

They are great though. Nice work.

All War-game Factory.

The bishamoneten banner was Uesugi Kenshin's personal standard,ashigaru would have used the clan's mon.

Do you mean this one?

If you are going to put the mon on the banners, you will go mad from painting. You could print out transfer sheets much more easily.

That mon seems to be restricted to the Yonezawa domain.

Evalerio of samurai archives made the illustrations,Kenshin was adopted into the Yamanouchi branch(blue and white) while the black and white Uesugi banners could represent the whole clan.

I for one wouldn't want to freehand the mon,but to each his own.

Now if only someone sculpted Kenshin's Sanbo Koshin helmet/armor...

Thank you !

Stunning!
(And wargames factory have certainly come a long way since their early days.)

Agreed, they have definitely.

Very nice job, nothing like having a finished unit ready

I posted some new Ashigaru with Arquebusiers have a look they are right after the pikemen.

They look fantastic. Model wise and painting wise. I need some of these, but I'll have them from Fukui where I lived.
