About the Project
Starting the painting for the Clash of Katanas army. It is going to be rather large as I basically bought everything Samurai from the Perry twins. I did want some mounted samurai with Umi, and had to find them from somewhere else.

Ashigaru
The Samurai have been started, but the bulk of the army is of course the Ashigaru, so today I started on the guys with Spears(yari), first with some Red(70.957 Flat Red) cloth, then some spear shafts(German Green Brown RAL 8000)., and some base flesh tones(70.843 Cork Brown & 70.955 Flat Flesh).
Yes they will be keeping a gloss Black armour.
Starting the Samurai
Of course the Samurai are the Important part of the army, so let’s start with them. I’m doing a Takeda Clan force, and they have some history with a cavalry regiment in Red armour who went by the name Red Devils, or Aki Oni. For the Red armour, I went with 71.070 Signal Red, a Vallejo Model Metallic Air colour, which needed two coats.
