Samurai Plog

[Tom Loyn]

Hey chaps, not been on here much in recent times, or down the club!  Living in Cornwall makes it a bitching a commute...

Finally got round to sorting out my new samurai army, had the bits lying about for a while.  Idea is it can be used as a couple of races with minor tweaks, since I'm so prone to changing my mind about armies.  I've begun by doing 20 archers (below). Initially I shall be base coating everything and washing + basing.  Then will hopefully be able to go back over and highlight as time allows.

First offering:

Just based up my first levitating Buddha! Sorry...I meant eagle...



Archer for scale.

[Dave]

Are these both High Elves and Tomb Kings by any chance?

[Tom Loyn]

Yeers ;) can also be used as empire pretty easily...

[Tom Loyn]

Another batch of 10 archers dipped and based.  Just assembling the last 12 now!




Also my first 6 horses for the samurai cav who will be dragon princes dipped and based.

Right, done some hobby today!  No idea if anyone is even paying attention to this little Plog, but Nm ;)

Assembled a dragon rider to be a filler in my dragon princes for the time being, but haven't stuck it to the chariot base yet with half an eye on the potential for drake riders in the near future!




Have based up my mages:




And based and converted my BSB (who is also a Mage in this list...radiant gem):




Have also based up a rearing horse to use as a princes mount in the future, for now the champion of the dragon princes can ride it!!




Better paint up my last 10 archers this weekend so can crack on with the characters over Christmas!

Looks good buddy (if a bit confusing IMO to play against), keep it up and the PLOG 

[Tom Loyn]

You think so? :s I do only have two types of thing in my high elf list...archers and dragon princes.

So basically anything on foot is an archer, anything on a horse is a dragon prince ;)

Then there are 4 blokes sitting down who are mages...

Depends on whether the power gamer in you decided to expand from that very limited model selection I guess.  Personally I'd probably be fine with it, but have played a few alt figs armies where it's not been the most obvious, but generally as long as the weapons are correct you'll be fine.

Tom, why are you persisting with the light council garbage? It takes the least skill out of anything in the entirety of warhammer (cannons exempted!) and you are not actually a bad player that needs to do it...

Sorry, that build just really annoys me!

Other than that, I'm really liking the army!
