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.

I still have some left Lloyd
Even after the the Samurai Christmas gift I gave Lloyd . I still have two armies of my own .
the funny thing is that I still need to assemble and paint command units for each force ?
A few FireForge Ashigaru finished
I am now working on my Test of Honour force for the Hojo clan.
I am using the FireForge Samurai plastic range . I am going to mix up the armor and clothing to give it a more historical feel but the Sashimonos will be the same. This is what armies of feudal Japan would have actually looked like.
if you were a ashigaru back then you Damio would not have paid for uniforms and armor you would have been wearing your clothes and armor that you picked off from the dead.
Putting paint to FireForge Ashigaru
Well I applied some paint to miniatures today . This is the first time I have done this in over a year now. I am painting up the FireForge plastic ashigaru but I will be painting them up with mismatched armor and clothing which was the normal thing for the time period. This will be for the Hojo clan and I will be using these for skirmish games.

FireForge & Warlord Ashigaru comparison
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 .
