wargamesdiary   A diary of war games and board games

New samurai warrior monks from Fireforge games arrived.

Painted using citadel contrast paints.

Spray wraith bone white after assembly using plastic glue. I made 8 shot and 16 naginata . Next I went over the white areas which were hoods and trousers plus arms and waist and wrist bands with contrast white. Faces in flesh contrast paint. Wood use wild wood contrast . Metal use army painter contrast broadsword. Leather pouches and sandal soles using leather brown.

For the main colour scheme which is the warrior monks jacket I chose either yellow using contrast sun yellow or a mix of this with blood angel red to make orange.

Finally for teeth I used white then applied contrast skeleton brown .

For these bases I applied the same scatter mix I used on all my samurai which is based on the games workshop base similar to sandy ground with tufts applied. The bases I chose were square to use in massed battles but singly based for skirmish games if need arises. For tufts I used a brighter green and a sun burnt brown to try and capture the theme of Japan but remain closer to my early figures.

I thought this new range look quite good . Simple enough to assemble with a few fixed poses and good to form a massed unit . Also they are fairly similar in size to my original Perry samurai so they is good too . These warriors will be useful to field on either side in a samurai battle .

Link has painted up his new stormboyz in readiness for the Armageddon. Battalion coming soon.

Link has set up a small battle to play with his friend this week. The space marines using his new painted jet pack and outrider squads vs essentially a Necron combat patrol.

The Necrons are attacking the space marines base in the ruins of a fallen civilisation on a planet being consumed by lava.
