    Been working on some test ashigaru from the Tokugawa clan

    Eastern Army 00- Tokugawa Ieyasu.jpg

    warden20200701_tokugawa ashigaru 01.jpg
    Those banners are hard to do :banghead: and nowhere near as good as the examples I was trying to copy from. Then again I haven't gotten around to purchasing transfers...

    warden20200701_tokugawa ashigaru 02.jpg

    The unit musicians:

    First block of infantry

    warden20200701_tokugawa ashigaru 05.jpg

    First two blocks of ashigaru are done. I have four more blocks of pikemen in the chute, along with two blocks of archers!

    Looking good! Handpainting around 60 banners is crazy, I admire your determination!

    Thanks! Banners are not my friend right now.

    Also got some single-based samurai on the painting table too:

    A few more updates today, starting with the three samurai being complete:

    warden20200703_tokugawa samurai 02.jpg

    Two belong to the Tokugawa clan while the third has pledged to Ishida.

    Also finished two more blocks of Tokugawa Ashigaru:

    warden20200703_tokugawa ashigaru 06.jpg

    Brings the Tokugawa up to four blocks, finally got a full unit going for them!

    warden20200703_tokugawa ashigaru 08.jpg
    warden20200703_tokugawa ashigaru 07.jpg

    And I went ahead and fixed the banners for Tokugawa's personal retainers, to include an attempt at his three-spade-leaf heraldry:

    Two more samurai almost complete, mostly just need to do the mon for the back banners for a few more ashigaru as well!

    warden20200703_tokugawa samurai 03.jpg

    Also noticed that Test of Honour (2) had a new set of Sohei warrior monks out.

    The next group of ashigaru and samurai are complete!

    warden20200704_tokugawa ashigaru 10 and samurai.jpg

    Here are the two blocks of Tokugawa archers and two more samurai (one Tokugawa and one Ishida).''

    The six blocks of Tokugawa pike ashigaru are also complete:

    warden20200704_tokugawa ashigaru 12.jpg

    Not bad, took about a month to finish this unit which is still way too long :confused:... kept getting distracted with other happy business at home :D:dummy1:

    warden20200704_tokugawa ashigaru 13.jpg

    Next up I am going to try and finish my small samurai board, starting with these cherry trees.

    warden20200704_samurai board 01.jpg
    The Tokugawa archers:

    warden20200704_tokugawa ashigaru 09 archers.jpg

    Pikemen and company:

    warden20200704_tokugawa ashigaru 11.jpg

    Went ahead and painted the clan mons on the bottom of the samurai general/heroes multibases so I could tell them apart. Probably should have painted them black again one more time before I did so but I was rushing... :blackeye:

    The board is taking shape! Painted up and the bits of fallen leaves and grass are added.

    warden20200706_samurai board 08.jpg

    warden20200706_samurai board 09.jpg

    Now on to some buildings. Decided I am going to redo the building I originally made for this board. I used some cardboard for the room and foam for the rest.

    Built two more buildings to go along with the first one, all with the cardboard roofs.

    warden20200706_samurai board 12.jpg

    And finally built that bridge and a small Japanese arch, which I relearned is called a torii.

    And two more pics at various stages of painting progress:

    The samurai board is done!

    warden20200708_samurai board 16.jpg
    Went ahead and got a handy $1 container to put my flock collection inside.

    Now that the board itself is complete, I went ahead and added foilage to all of my "recent" completed samurai and ashigaru bases:

    warden20200708_samurai basing 1.jpg

    warden20200708_samurai basing 2.jpg

    I used a little bit of the cherry tree blossoms for these guys this time too, adds a bit more color to the bases than my usual jungle-basing method.

    warden20200708_samurai basing 3.jpg

    I am pleased with how the hero multi bases and the individual samurai look too!

    warden20200708_samurai basing 6.jpg

    Tokugawa was the only one who didn't need any flock... here he is with Samurai Jack!

    Finished the last samurai on foot that was sitting on my to-paint bench:

    warden20200712_last ishida samurai 1.jpg

    He also shares the Ishida Clan colors. All of my Test of Honour models I assembled ages ago are now painted, based, and complete!

    Next on the painting table: Orks!

    ...and before I start my burnas and lootas, I rebased my old Snakebites Lootas onto bigger bases. I originally based them on the bases that came in the AOS box, but the Ork Kill Team box had bigger bases inside. Easy swap.

    My workstation has now been taken over by the orks.

    Also have some terrain in the mix from a few days ago:

    Burnas are getting done fastest, got their basecoats done.

    Whoa, that's quite the transition from Samurai to Orks! And quite a lot of them ;) Looking forward to see this new project of yours!

    Thanks! Working on a lot of projects that I have left unfinished at the moment, and the Orks are just the next in a long waiting list!

    Burna Boyz are complete, with their compatriot Lootas well on the way:

    warden20200722_ork burnas 3.jpg

    warden20200722_ork burnas 4.jpg

    I definitely went heavy on the clashing colors for this batch.

    warden20200722_ork burnas 5.jpg
    As a side note, words cannot express how much fun I have when I paint these tiny little gas cannisters on the sides of ork weapons :D:D:artist::artist::artist:. I am seriously considering buying another box of these guys just so I can paint more of these tiny little details, it was so much fun! :joyful:

    warden20200722_ork burnas 6.jpg

    Lootas should be next!


    Edit: also finally updated my thread index on the first post
