TAG Heian/Gempei War Samurai and Followers Ready

These are one pack each of mounted samurai with katana, foot samurai with katana, foot samurai with bows, foot samurai with nodachi, and followers with naginata.

Rear view. The back of the o yoroi has a lot of the cords blocking most of the lacing - making painting easier.

EDIT: I went ahead on took a "family" photo of these along with the rest of the TAG figures already painted. Also, a few 1st Corps samurai and Kingsford sohei are included.
Awaiting an order of bushi (aka followers) from Westwind, and also will get a few more packs of TAG samurai from a trade of old rule books with a vendor down in Vancouver, Washington, called Mindtaker Miniatures. Met one of the sales reps at the recent Enfilade convention. They buy and sell/trade miniatures and related stuff. On the gaming front, going over to my buddy's place tomorrow evening to try out the General d'Armee for the first time. It's popular with several of the local gamers here. Plan to post pics and an AAR afterwards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best!

  2. Dean it was your Samurai work that inspired how I painted mine. Lovely as always.

    I’ve heard about Grand d’Armee, I have LaSalle 2nd edition though I have not played it. I hear that GdA is popular as well. Look forward to your take on it.

    Cheers

    1. Thank you very much, Volodya. I've used WAB with similar figures a long time ago. I now plan to use Tribal - small units of 5 figures each. Kindest regards, Dean
