This is an ally commander for my Uesugi force he represents the Kakizaki Kageie clan. I have now idea what the color scheme was but I just love that there Mon is a radish. I will be painting allies later and this will be one of them.

Well done! How many allies will there be?

The Horo worn by the elite have always fascinated me. (Horo means arrow catcher or arrow entangler)

Seems to be a lot of debate as to whether or not they were effective, but they do add to the grandeur of Samurai.

I have heard that the Gengis Khan gave his men silk shirts before a siege and the horos are also silk. I saw a show that talked about the Horo and it seamed to be pretty effective against arrows with a simple point but bladed arrow heads I would think would just slice the silk through.

I would think bladed arrows would be used only by elite archers of the samurai class, given the general cost of making steel blades at the time.
