About the Project
This is my Samurai project I stated a few years ago and will be doing for a few more years to come. This is not only miniature painting but conversions, terrain, and rules. As well as some other things I am sure that I am interested as well as inspiration. I hope you will enjoy my journey into the world of Samurai Wargaming.

The first ashigaru I painted was a prototype for Takeda Shingen’s force. I was overall happy with the paint scheme that I used the Mon for the backbanner would come later because I knew I would not paint them on but use decals.
So I started to collect what I could afford and that was at the time Wargames Factory Samurai and Ashigaru sets later to become Warlord Games Samurai and Ashigaru for Test of Honour and there Pike and Shotte line of sets. Now I know that there are a lot of people that don’t like these sets because they are fiddly with lots of bits but if it was not for these miniatures and to be honest the price of these miniatures I would have never got in to Samurai Wargaming at all.
So here are what I painted up first some Monks from the Assault Group line . This was the last miniatures that I painted with out the use of glasses and magnifiers.
Meet Dean this is the man that started me down the path of the Samurai with this game at Enfilade a historical miniature wargaming con here in Olympia, WA USA. Dean was running this game and I was lucky enough to be able to play. The miniatures that you see here are all painted by Dean I was blown away by the detail of the miniature and the level of painting that Dean put into his miniatures. To be frank I was surprised that he allowed us to touch them, ha ha ha .
