TAG Heian/Gempei War Mounted Samurai Command

 This is the mounted samurai command pack from TAG. Painted the standard with the Taira butterfly mon.

Really didn't "need" more figures for this period, but this was a pack from TAG which I didn't have before. I like to have most, if not all, of the figures from a range that I like. This range from TAG was one of the very first 28mm figures I collected, and still like them a lot.
There are only 3 horse poses from this range, but they look nice.
What I based the crest on. Not exact, but close enough.
The o-yoroi armor with its large sode (shoulder armor) allows for painted various lacing patterns.
A painting depicting Taira cavalry - some carrying similar banners.
Still have my Imjin War game scheduled for next week. Plan to use a simplified version of Hail Caesar for the rules - which will include scaling walls with ladders. Until then, wishing you all the best and hope you're enjoying the summer weather.
