Starting Bushido

This stage of the project is complete. Time to get some games in. I have some eastern lanterns and scatter terrain I could use. In addition I bought a Deepcut Descension mat.

I need to get some games in now and see how I get on with the game.

I was lucky enough to score half the Bushido starter for free. Three minis from Clan Ito and their cards.

I wasn’t drawn to this faction but having painted them they were good fun to work on. I’m tempted to get a few more. For the moment I just need three minis for a 40 rice starter.

Couple of additional minis to get me up to a larger force. I think I can run the Blue Gale theme with these.

Two cool looking minis I tried to add some texture to with the paint job.

Well one of my minis was going to get their own entry and Hirohibo got the nod. This is a funny mini. I like it a lot but sometimes it looks like an awkward bird and sometimes it looks deadly. He’s a mean bugger though and I’m happy with the metallics.

Narahobo was the mini that drew me to the Descension but my magic owl appears to be there remove effects. Not sure how much you can do with him but I’m hoping he proves better than I’ve first expected.

Seibo is quite dynamic but awkward to pose.

Shubo didn’t particularly enthuse me but Honbo is a mean looking bird chap. Lots of texture on his attire which I tried to bring out.

Our local enabler attended Salute this year and several of us put in orders for Bushido sets. I got the Descenion starter a long with The Blue Gale Scout and Tarobo. I have no particular plan for a list. Just got stuff I liked.

The minis are metal and have a lot of detail. The cards give each mini a name and sense of character.

Seems like objectives range from several small objectives on 30mm bases to a couple of large ojectives on 50mm bases.

I had some eastern looking lion statues from Antenocitis. I magnetised them to their bases and gave them a couple of themes. The first set were a kind of weathered statue look. The second set had a weathered metallic feel.

The large objectives I printed with a scale up lamp stl. I think the looked ok.

I also forgot to note the colours used. I’ve been really rushing to finish the first stage of this project.

Some minis in the pics for scale.
