New boy question. Where do you measure from to determine size? From the base of the stand or from the foot of the figure?

Thoughtful review, thanks. But I find they are not able to actually use katanas, without a deal of fiddling. Again, not a deal breaker, but I do think Fireforge could have easily packed a few extra pieces in. Also, ideally, would like to see a box of unarmoured Ashigaru - and farmers etc with bamboo stick spears!

Those trousers are called "chausses" they are single legs that are worn over the brayes. Braysare over sized boxer linen shorts with no fly. Chausses are attached to a cloth belt worn high on the waist nearly under the ribs called a lendel. Some times Chausses attached directly to the Gambeson. Particularly if you are expecting to ride a lot.

Hello, I am very impressed by the quality of your miniatures, especially regarding the painting. I know that for the 6 mm the important thing is the contrast and I find it very successful! As I am a beginner I would be very honored if you could give me advice, especially in the choice of colors to use. Thanking you in advance.
@thelastbattalion3509 Ай бұрын
Very kind of you and welcome to the hobby! My main advice when choosing colours is probably to pick shades that are brighter than they are in real life in order to help them stand out on such small models. Also to begin with, don't try and paint too much detail or worry about extra highlights until you start to get a feel for painting at that scale - this will also depend on the manufacturer as you will need to get used to how they have sculpted the miniatures. Have fun!

I think the longer weapons may be designed to represent Nagae yari, which are closer to pikes. Rather than drill out the hands, and replace them wholesale, I cut the shaft just in front of the left hand then drilled and pinned the shortened head of the spear back on to shorten the length to 45mm from the 80mm supplied.
@thelastbattalion3509 7 ай бұрын
In the end I very carefully clipped the spear tip off, shortened the haft and then made sure both pieces were levelled. Superglue did the rest.

There are mistakes in the armor, Hara Asigaru only had three Kusazuri plates not five. This is one of the most important mistakes that can be seen there for someone who knows something more. What's also important is that they weren't carrying a katana like you taped on their backs. I know, they're just figures. I glue swords to the side of my asigaru. Do as you want.

Good work! I'll add that I've recently tried the horses from this box with TEST OF HONOUR - TAKEDA'S COURT - for characters in the metal set and Samurai horses from Fireforge work well. Some work with the saddle which has to be cut a bit and some issues with mounting the metal models from ToH, but overall both sets work fine side by side which is great news if for example you want a mounted Daimyo foor the Fireforge based Samurai army. Take care!
