Takeda Teppo

Another addition to my Samurai Saga project.  This time the Takeda get some much needed missile support.  These guys made their debut in the Lion Rampant games I played with Mason last weekend and did rather well for themselves.

These are all Wargames Factory plastics.  I basically did them as a speed job using AP Dragon Red primer and then block painted the major features.  I picked up a can of Minwax English Tudor varnish on Jon's suggestion and this is my first trial with it rather than my usual AP Strong Tone.  It takes a little longer to cure and a little more work to remove the excess, but the results are definitely worth while.

 I enjoyed playing Lion Rampant with these guys so much, that I am considering expanding my units from 4/8 to 6/12, but that may have to wait until after I get some more units done.  That, and I really need to finish the terrain I have been working on...  and those Landskecht need to be based.  ... and when am I going to finish detailing my 6mm Poles...  Dear god I have a lot of partially completed projects right now!
