ADDENDUM - a comparison pic per a TMP request:
This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Late-Japanese (Samurai) WAB Army
Here it is with all options; actually the new Armies of Antiquity list stops at 1500 AD, conveniently leaving out firearms. Too bad, as I'd already painted up a Dixon canon as well as OG teppo ashigaru. They'll just wait in the wings until a supplement comes out for them.
Anyway, I was supposed to play this army (at 2K less the teppo and cannon) today, but most of the other WAB players wanted to cancel due to weather conditions. The weather conditions aren't bad today, but they may need to clean up their property. Since my army was already prepped for travel, I figured I'd at least take group photo. I do want to add sashimono to the rest of the cavalry; also plan to add some army banners for looks as the new AoA doesn't include them in the list.

Lovely job mate, that is one good looking army. Rob Broom keeps on hinting that he will release a Samurai army list for his new War and Conquest rulebook.

Nice looking army.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, Gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteRaglan: He not only hinted, he once said (on TMP) it was a sure thing. Haven't picked up W&C yet though. Best, Dean
Beautiful army Dean. Really nice work.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking army Dean. I was pretty disappointed with the AoA book.

ReplyDeleteThanks; as far as the AoA lists - I read somewhere that it's what was expected - a sort of tournament lists book. Not what I'm into, but willing to use it for an occasional bout or two. I would've much more preferred a detailed supplement - like the Jeff Jonas ne'er released Successors or the elusive Divine Wind. Best, Dean
Great Paintings!

Beautiful figs as usual. I came by the store hoping to see a battle and no one was there, thought I might have my date incorrect. Glad I wasn't confused after all.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the no-show. I was willing, 512 wasn't bad, but Pat & Tom cancelled at the last minute. I suppose me and James could've still showed up though. Anyway, the BP game is still a go at my place next Saturday. Hope you can make it. Dean
Dean great stuff, hope you don't mind me using your site for reference and ideas...;)
ReplyDeleteCheers

Hi, Dean. Nice work! By the way, your blog would seem to have attracted a spammer, i.e. "Susan J.Matteson"...
