Samurai Banners - Ready for Basing

So, after meeting my gaming buddy (read gaming enabler), Pat L. (aka Socal Warhammer) at our FLGS, The Game Matrix, I was able to finish up these banner men to complete the command stands of a Samurai army. I should mention that one of the things Pat so kindly gave me was a copy of DBA 2.2 by WADBAG. That is all I can say for now - but something along those lines will follow in the near future. Anyway, back to these Perry figures:
They were fairly easy to paint up - the trickiest part (for me anyway) is painting the lacing on the kasazuri - the plates hanging below the do (cuirass). The lacing is hard to make out - possibly due to the Perry's keeping things to scale. I'd rather they sculpt them larger (or higher) than scale to ease painting. A minor complaint, as they were kind enough to sculpt most of the do in the range without lacing. This is actually accurate for so-called modern armor - armor for the later part of the Sengoku period.
Once their based on command stands, the Samurai army for Hail Caesar will be pretty much completed. Oh, I suppose I need to add lanyards to the two guys with the banners on their backs.

    Thanks, Curt! I appreciate that. BTW, I just managed to slice my thumb with a hobby knife while prying them off to base them :)! Best, Dean

    Thanks, Paul. Yes, I still need to get the Imjin War game on the table. But, in an unexpected turn of events recently I am delving into heretofore uncharged territory - 15mm and DBA! More to follow. Dean

    Dean, just asking; is there any period or genre you haven't turned your hand to?

    You've done a superb job on these figs. Please, keep it coming!
