Ashigaru 28mm

Post by AlfonsoTheTraitor »

So this is the first of 112 miniatures I am painting for a Samurai table top war-game . I don't know what system I am going to play with yet but that will be decided on later . I am not sure about the knot work ( they are not really showing up on the camera ) I may try to shade the knots with a very dark brown or a black on the next one to make it pop . Thats just for one army by the way what was I thinking :doh:

Please comment .
Thanks

The only poorly painted miniature is the one that is not painted .

Super looking figure and lovely paint job. What make are they?
Are the knots the knobbly bits on his skirt? If so they would really pop with just a suggestion, a hint, a smidge, of a thin thin thin deep blue on the bottom half of the sphere and a suggestion of orange or orangey red on the top half. Try a couple round the back of the figure to see if it works before going to town!
