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.

It’s finished!
My Heaven and Earth project is finally complete with the command sections for Tekeda and Uesugi painted and based.
I celebrated with a splash of Cognac.
Now to finish the rules😉
Samurai field officers
Here are some field officers as far as rules go these officers will give nearby units within 6 inches a plus 1 to hit in melee , ballistic, and leadership.
10 mm samurai command section
This is the Wargames Atlantic 10 mm Samurai command section.
Painting up 10mm Samurai & Ashigaru
Yes you have heard right 10mm Samurai & Ashigaru.
And yes you heard right that the Ashigaru Pike are delicate and will break easily but no fear people there is a solution stop using your dull snipers and buy a pair of these and no you don’t have to buy this exact model.
you do wand a pair of pointed side cutters with a flat bottom like these.
A few or Hojo.
Painted up a few more for the Hojo clan . I’ll be honest the faces on the Firforge Ashigaru are amazing to paint up.
Basing: LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE !
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES !
I have come to the conurbation I made a massive mistake in basing my miniatures in ten man units. I should have based them in smaller 4-5 man units . In 10 fixed man units I can not put them in column formation . Also having smaller 4-5 man fixed units I can play using other rule systems that use smaller units.
But I think the best way to base miniatures is to put them on 25mm round bases then you can use them in skirmish games you can still play in rank and file games by just using 8-10 man movement tray made for 25mm rounds .
25mm round for the win far more flexibility all around.
How I made my female Samurai
For those of you that are interest in converting warlord plastic Samurai into female warriors this is how I conferred mine. Simply bought some female heads and added them on to my warlord games plastic Samurai . Then added a horse tail to make a pony tail . You could sculpt your own but I was in a hurry and lazy . I then sculpted the hair and bandanna using magisculpt you use what ever putty you are best familiar with and just a reminder it must air dry. Do not use a heat curing putty the heads will melt . And that in a nutshell is how I do it.
Best of Luck on all your future projects!
