1st Perry miniature

2nd Zenit miniature

3rd AW Miniatures

4th Assault Group miniatures

A side by side comparison!

Warlord Games on the left and FireForge Games on the right.
Warllords is a true scale 28mm foot to eye.
FireForge is a Heroic scale 28mm foot to head and to be honest probably 30mm because he is not as erect as the Warlord miniature .
Piece count are the same believe it or not it is 8 . The difference is Warlords the spear is separate and you had to bore out the hand to make it fit 🥴
And yes I know I left the sword off of the Warlord mini.
FireForge the spear is attached to the hand but face is separate from the helmet. The face slides in perfectly.
I have no idea why FireForge did this. Maybe because it might be easier to paint . I really don’t know.
As far as painting goes I can already say with great confidence that the FireForge mini is going to be a lot easier to paint because of going with the Heroic scale. The detail is larger and crisper than warlords.
As far as assembly goes it went together with no problem and I had no instructions at all. I used Mr. Hobby’s Mr. Cement it’s a plastic cement and I strongly suggest you use a plastic cement when assembling these models it cures fast but you have some play time to maneuver your parts into place and it makes a strong bond.
I don’t know what the price point is going to be but I am liking what I have seen so far with the FireForge’s Ashigaru miniature a lot .

It has been a while since I finished a miniature and realized I need to get back to a regular painting schedule again .

Why are my photos sideways I didn’t take the photos sideways?

WTF!

I decided that I am going to base my units into 10 man units. I just started and still need to add grass tufts and shrubs.

I finished these archers today go my Murakami clan . As you can see I did not give them back banners .  I read that they would not have been used because it would have been a distraction or outright hindered the the back ranks.

Happy New Year everyone these are my first two miniatures of the year and I plan on painting a lot more this year because last year was a hobby failure for me. ? both these miniatures are from Wargames Illustrated but I will be using them for Test of Honour .
Best of Luck on all your feature projects ?

This is the Ozutsu unit from Grey for Now miniatures for the game Test of Honour. The clan marking is for the Murakami clan .

these models are done of the best models I have seen. Very clean hardly any clean up and very crisp and well defined. The knot work and match/ wick are slightly exaggerated for ease of painting. Designed by Graham Davey .

Ten more ashigaru yari painted and ten more to go .

The next time you paint up plastics may I suggest that you paint the heads separately and then attach them look last you may like the results ?

Starting the next 20 and that will be the last of the Ashigaru pikemen for the Murakami clan the cavalry, hand cannons, archers , and the the grenadiers !

Like the title says 40 painted and I won’t lie this ten took me a bit longer than I would have liked. Hopefully the next twenty will be faster ?
