A dip into the lead pile and next up a couple of extra's from Northstar and Empress to create a Japanese faction for the Silver Bayonet. The Russo-Japanese forces proper have not been out of the box for a while so this will be a tentative step back into Manchuria.
Not the best photo but left to right - Infantryman, Officer, Occultist, 2 Swordsmen and 3 more Infantrymen.
Two Swordsmen/Officers from Empress Miniatures these are1904 officers wearing tradition Samurai armour perfect for adventuring in Manchuria and confronting evil.
I spotted these on the Northstar site and these looked just the part for the Japanese faction as a Soothsayer and his apprentice.
You seem to be missing a couple of female Samurai, Stu!😄
ReplyDeleteYou might be right, I blame Empress ;-)
DeleteVery interesting take on the Silver Bayonet Stu.

Thanks Frank seemed like a good idea as I can blend with some of the Water Margin stuff.

Thanks Alan.
DeleteThe last figures look really good with their yellow/saffron robes:).
ReplyDeleteI toyed with what colours to go with and the Saffron seemed best when compared to the red and black of the cultists from a few months back.

A Very good choice. I thought about using the free French infantry sprues from the wargame magazine but went with a native American party of which part is from my F&IW collection. The leader is a female shaman who looks rather nice.
ReplyDeleteNice that will be fun to play with.
DeleteExcellent work Stuart!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray,
