Yamato Fortress: DBA Army Camp

Here it is with the two remaining Khurasan figures that were ordered for the Pre-Samurai (Yamato) DBA army. The white primered "wood" took a wash/stain of Vallejo inks very well; not requiring any further painting.
The shields are from the range by Khurasan and very nicely detailed.
The rear of the piece with what are stand-ins for psiloi. Yes, they have body armor and carry shields, but think of them as elite light infantry.
The sides of the battlement are filled earthenwork.
The completed army with mandatory army camp. Not bad considering they have a total footprint of a cigar box.

      Simon - I only played it once! A month ago while at my FLGS waiting for a friend. The owner talked me into playing a game with h is figures. I plan to attend a game day this Saturday with a DBA event. It's at a flight museum. Best, Dean

    Excellent work. I've been enjoying your work on Yamato Japan - there's sadly not enough interest in pre-Sengoku period miniatures.

      I agree - but thankfully there are a few ranges out there - this one from Khurasan, plus their Emishi range - as well as Bauda's Emishi range. Let the island conquering being :) Best, Dean

    Dean, you're going great guns at the moment - "unstoppable creative momentum" seems to be your motto right now!

    Truly inspiring stuff; please keep it coming.

    This is a LOVELY camp that perfectly compliments your lovely DBA army! And scratch made from plasticard.

    You are on fire. Can such talent and inspiration be bottled and sold? ;-)

    Great looking camp and multi-barreled cannon (from your previous post). I like how you added in photos of the actual structures/weapons.
