About the Project
I am finally getting to completing a build for 2 clans from the Test of Honour core box and decided to orchestrate battles in the midst of a Japanese village I acquired at GenCon 2 years ago.

Painting Complete and Tutorial Video
I completed the painting of the ashigarus and missile troops, which I recorded in a tutorial videos for those who are interested in adopting the Kobayakawa clan in their game.
Next Leg of the Project
Last week, almost two years later, I dove back in and decided to finish painting the two factions of the core box (which I had to supplement with a few models from the Warlords Games Samurai Warband box)
I also tackled the fences provided by 4Ground in the Japanese Shogunate village pack. The fences are fairly easy to build, if a little finicky t balance and log great after ground cover has been added. I also applied a layer of matte varnish to the mdf and will add a 50/50 concoction of PVA/water to the ground cover. I decided to keep the gates closed as the hinges are not really functional.
First Clash
After painting my first piece of terrain for this era (and vastly overdoing the job on an already remarquable 4Ground model), the battle lines were drawn. The first battle with a good friend of mine demonstrated how fluid and cinematic the game was. I was hooked…
Project Origin
Two years ago, I painted some Kobayakawa and Shimatzu clan ashigarus and samurais to play through the first scenario of Test of Honour. I documented teh painting of the miniatures in a series of videos
