Lord Imran Kairugawa

Finished the Hatamoto yesterday. Love the pose especially with the naginata.


I've finally managed to paint the Tokugawa crest using masks. Nothing super special but it works I think.
I added the lines on top and below on the banner because it looked too plain with just the crest. The lines on the bottom indicate what level of warrior they are. Ties in with the gold dots on their scabbards.

So 3 samurais done and I need one more to get my 125 points buntai ready for battle this weekend. This will be my list.
Hatamoto Leader (level 4)    38 points
- naginata, naginata bujutsu, powerful

Samurai A (level 3)       27 points
- kenjutsu

Hatamoto B (level 4)    32 points
- kenjutsu

Samurai B (level 3)      27 points
- kenjutsu

Comes to a total of 124 points. Why 125 points? It was a number suggested by good friend Mark. At 100 points there's not much you can get from the Bushi Buntai. The FoC is rather restricted if you want to have level 1 and/or 2 Ashigarus so I'm going to try an elite all samurai list. I'll be vulnerable to shooting so I'll stick close to cover until the time comes to close into combat :)
Wish me luck. Am going to need it as I'll be going up against the dreaded Warlord Arzmi Killalla!

    They look fantastic, you've done a great job. The crests have come out really well. They are a tricky thing to replicate, as I've found out!
    Good luck for your game, I look forward to reading about how it goes.

    The crests do look nice. Hmmm had the samurais of old ever used pink sakura symbols?

      Not sure about pink. I'll look in the books that I have but seriously doubt it ;)

    Hi mate :). Good to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing your buntai. I'm using the Ronin rules published by Osprey. Its not as complicate as Kensei, which you can download for free btw.
    Ronin is quite nice and simple to learn. 2 things though. Those teppo can really kill armored samurais and in my experience (2 games), having more dice is better :)
