Revisiting a particularly daunting samurai project and trying out the BAW rules. We modified the rules slightly to allow mixed units of samurai and ashigaru. We've also used 40mm bases, which has rather drastically increased the number of figures required. Overall it worked well, just need to paint a few hundred more figures now.

Thanks. I did 80-odd bases worth in a year I think. It's a bit easier to generate the enthusiasm at the start of a project than half-way through however.

Battles in the Age of War are one of my favourite rule sets. I must play them again soon.
Chris and I played a siege game a few months ago

Looks like samurai batles are "GO". Good pics Stewart
Yes, the siege rules look interesting. It'll be a while before we get to have a go at it though. I've made a start....

Wow!
Surely a tutorial beckons here...?
Very nice, my wall set is from king and kerr
Oh, Kerr and King do some nice buildings. I might get some from them as the ones from Oshiro look to be too small.
The wall section is just a block of foam with a coating of DAS clay. The stonework is scribed on with a pointy thing. Takes ages.....
Wooden panels are 9 pane mdf windows from warbases with 2 panes cut out. Roof is craft shop corrugated cardboard and bamboo skewers.
Thank you for the explanation, Usagitsuki - really good to know what can be achieved with relatively simple materials - well done!
