Hi all, time for a new non-blog, or rather a list of unfinished projects.
This morning I made my first purchase of the year - a rather cheap (7Euros) box of 44 1:72 scale Samurai by Zvezda. I dreaded a boxful of bendy plastic with flash, but was pleasantly surprised - they're VERY nice, and I can only recommend them heartily.
For a review and full description, take a look here.  8v)

This was a lucky find, as I'd wanted to get a small Samurai force for ages now, and this looks like it's a good wayto go - they're relatively cheap, and easy to store being so small. So as long as I don't try to build a fortress......

I've started work on the first one. The Citadel Foundation paints adhere beautifully, and if lightly applied do not hide the detail. They're a challenge to paint, but very nice indeed.

Day 2: cleaned up the workbench a bit - at least the surface has reappeared.
I found bits from at least 13 projects.... urgl.

What I REALLY wish to work on are a WHFB Imperial army, Warmaster demons, Epic Eldar and my brand new Samurai.
We'll see how it goes.

Those Samurai look good, hmmmmm, no, no. no money

And your interesting eldar pieces, with even more interesting bases, can we have closer shots please.

And now for the big question.... What rules are you going to use for your Samurai? (This is something that I investigated not too long ago.)

Close-ups - will do - but not before Wednesday.
The bases: the usual od style Epic squares; one has a square block of wood cut at an incline, the other has one of the usual keys from a scrapped keyboard.

Rules: they're 1:72, so a bit small for WH Ancients, although that would be ok for me - since they're from the 16th-17th century, I'd have to find rules which include powder weapons. Then again, knowing me, they won't see much action....

There are 3 Zvezda sets - this one, a set of mounted samurai, and a fun set of a warlord with retinue, am enclosure, and even a pair of ninjas! I've only seen the one I own, but might try to get the others and a few more of the infantry - a couple of boxes per side would make for a good skirmish. And compared to metals, they ARE cheap.

And now for something different - this is a WHFB Pink Horror standard bearer - the standard being his tail. I thought it looked a bit silly and replaced it with one borrowed off a Skaven.
Interesting to note there is someone who looks a lot like him in one of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings....

Off course the tail remains unseen - d'oh.
Anyway, here he is again with a friend who I decided to call Hieronymus.
I have to admit this was a model bought 2nd hand from a friend - and most of the paint is not my own. I just cleaned up his skin and changed his coat colours. Couldn't poring myself to remove the original face paint job.
