Samurai!

 All gamers worth their salt have some Samurai tucked away somewhere. Mine were bought around............2013ish? Whenever the Ronin set was released by Osprey, anyway, built, undercoated, played two games and then left to rot for many years. 

I didn't play Test of Honour when that came out, in spite of it being popular in my group, due to grown up reasons (i.e. full time job, toddler, university studies), so they never got used in that either and were left kicking around doing nothing.

Ironically, I go to Japan every year though and am quite well travelled in the country, so see more samurai stuff, museums and such than the majority of people.

So, after this years visit, I decided that NOW was the time. 

Thus:









All Perry range, except one model, and a nice little force. The terrain and table dressing was a set of seconds from Oshiro that a friend picked up for me at Salute (again, irony, I was in Japan at the time)

Quite happy with the red lacquer effect - more chance than design TBH, which comes from a thicker layer of paint at the end to dry shiny.

Not yet seen the table in anger, but they may one day, they may. Used the family Mon for the back banners, as its a fairly easy one!
