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!

Yamato (Pre-Samurai) DBA Army - WIP +2
Here are the cavalry - which will be based 2X3Cv. The horses are every bit as nice as anything in 28mm IMO. Four of the six riders have separate upper torso and lower halves.
All of the riders are in keiko lamellar armor; unlike the foot figures which are all in tanko plate cuirass. Four of the riders have the later style bowl helmet, which evolved into what later samurai would wear.
I opted to dry-brush the lacing on the keiko armor - unlike the impressive way Steve Dean painted his on the Khurusan website. It looks like he individually picked out the lacing - something I can't fathom doing.
These take care of the main troops for the army - just the General and his entourage and two psiloi need to be completed. I don't have the psiloi figures yet, as Khurusan's aren't available yet. I'll peruse the figures at the local store to see if they have something appropriate.

More lovely work sometimes drybrushing is the way to go then box in the detail with colour underneath.

Nice work Dean. I have a mix bag (8 bags in fact) of Old Glory Japanese lying around that I need to start work on.
ReplyDeleteYour transition to 15mm is flawless! Wonderful work, Dean.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work! Hard to believe those are 15s!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Thank you all very much for your visit and posting such nice comments.
ReplyDelete@ Miles - these are for a DBA Pre Samurai army - III/7a & b. Something that can be transported in a cigar box and played in an hour or so.
Warm Regards, Dean
Dean,
ReplyDeleteYou paint 15's better than most do 28's.
Beautiful work.

I did a double take when I saw that they were 15s; such detail!
