Working on the Qin cavalry prompted me to revisit my Imjin war project. I finished all the peasant forces already, so I thought I would conquer the garrison infantry next. (Working my way to what will be the arduous task of painting the heavy infantry with their complex uniforms and multitude of colors).
I took my inspiration from the examples around the Juji fortress museum at Jinju.
I picked up two units of 24 from bartertown, so I opted to start by doing all of the infantry first, followed by the command groups. First up are 25 basic infantry with a variety of spears/halberds
I used a simple black/white color combination with red tassels on all helmets and on 1/2 the belts. The plan is to do half with white belts and 1/2 with red. From there go with 12 with yellow bandannas and 12 with red to help identify units of 12 for Lion Rampant and units of 24 if I decide to switch to a mass battle system.
I switched to using 20mm rounds, with the idea of doing sabotted bases in the future if I feel like trying a game like Impetus with them. I put some primer on a group of archers as well, in the hopes of maybe getting a Lion Rampant game in during Thanksgiving break. Maybe.
Looks great!
ReplyDeletePerry figures are terrific! Did you pick these up pre-painted or bare lead?
ReplyDeleteBare metal. Did the primer in White, AP Flat Black and Dragon red additions, followed by Stain. Then went in with AP White, Vellajo Grey-Black and Red for highlights.
DeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter. I hope to surround them with reinforcements this month.
