The eldest son has decided that he'd like to do some Samurai skirmish games, so I've decided that at some point over the summer, once The Men Who Would Be Kings Sudan project is complete, I will paint up some of the Perry Miniatures figures that I gathered together back in 2015. These were destined for use with the Ronin and Daisho skirmish rules but, as usual, I was distracted by other things and wandered off in a different direction.
In these financially constrained times, it's a project that would cost me virtually nothing to set up, as I have plenty of lovely figures and some splendid Sarissa Precision building kits already. I quite fancy a winter theme for this as well, so that I can use some of my existing winter tree and river pieces, together with some specific Japanese elements that I can add in. I'm not sure when I'll do this but it's another thing to tick off the list over the next few months, while I have the chance.
I was very tempted to star with Ronin, I think it's an underappreciated game that deserves more love.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Japanese terrain with it's distinctive architecture, there is a guy, can't remember his name, that does a Boshin War setup that it's amazing.
I will keep my eye on this project.
Me too. It's one of the things that makes it stand out.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything cooler than Samurai warriors in the snow I don't know what it is. I look forward to seeing what you do with this project.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm thinking of a neat custom made 2' x 2' board with all the trimmings. Probably never happen but it would be pretty cool!
