Here are my first two 'gangs' for Osprey Publishing's 'Ronin' samurai skirmish game. They aren't my finest ever figures - but then, I am out of practice and Samurai aren't the easiest figures to paint! First up are the 'koryu' (martial arts school):
Secondly we have the bandits. I've done the bandits mostly in more 'rustic' colours, to try to reflect how poor those living on the margins of society are likely to have been, compared to Samurai, monks and the like.
The best bit was painting the patterns on the clothing - I told you I was mad, didn't I?
