Impetus Fantasticus: Nippon Army List WIP

Hey Folks,

I have been working away at my part of the Impetus Fantasticus Project: The Nipponese



This is based heavily on the great work done here Warhammer Fantasy Nippon Army List with some units taken straight from Impetus and other created from the Impetus Fantasticus Points System.

Its quite WIP as we have yet to play test it however it *should* play ok and will also allow me to use the army for Normal Impetus as well (as its on multi bases with expanders to take it from 8cm frontages to 12cm frontages)

I have also adapted some Magic and Prayers (or Powers of the Kami) at the bottom of the list.

Cheers
Jason

Impetus: The Seven Samurai

Hey Folks,

I've just finished my 6th Unit for my Takeda - none other than the fearsome Seven Samurai!

Completely wrong period of course but these Old Glory sculpts, whilst a bit heroic in parts, have a heap of character.

They will be a crappy FL Ronin unit but should look cool while they die...

Cheers
Jason

Impetus: Takeda Archers

Hey Folks,

Quick update. I've 99% finished a T unit of Makasakges Yumi (bow) armed Ashigaru as well as a unit of S Yumi armed Samurai (which are still crappy VBU 2, but look cool)

Just got to add the flock etc.

Next up The Seven Samurai as a FL Ronin unit :)

Cheers
Jason

Impetus: Takeda Ashigaru 1st unit Done

Hey Folks,

The Takeda gather quickly to repulse the forces of Shingins epic enemy Kenshin:

I have finished the first unit of Ashigaru with nagae-Yari or the Japanese equivalent of the European Pike. In Impetus this gives the the Long Spear rule. They are part of the retinue of Yamagata Makasakge and their Nobori (banner) carry his Mon. The troops have the uniformed Takeda sashimono. Makasakges troops were the famous "Red Fire" regiment that were the Vanguard of the Takeda. The inspired the later Ii "Red Devils" who fought under Tokugawa.

I've based the rest of the units and reprinted the Samurai Nobori to be part of Shingens Hatamoto, or personal guards.

Next up "crazy zen" Samurai S Yumi (skirmashing archers) and a unit of Ashigaru T Yumi (archers).

Cheers
Jason

Impetus: Takeda Ashigaru WIP

Hi Folks,

It's 6 plastic WGF Ashigaru with Yari, and an unpainted metal dude. Wow, what an update you might say...

I'm proud. These models may be cheap but they are a pain in my ass to build. That's what I get for being a cheap ass! Oh we'll, paint on them soon. :)

Impetus: Takeda Samurai

Second attempt at this post as the blogger app on my iThing had a moment, so here is the short version :)

Jamie and I are doing Impetus Samurai. I'm doing Takeda, he's doing Usegui.

First up a FP Samurai unit with Yari and a T Ashigaru unit with Teppo. Figures are crappy WGF (which are cheap and not too crap, but not Perry!) and some OG models I picked up on EBay. I like the fat heads as I'm going for a stylised screen print approach. Just got to flock em. Next up Ashigaru with Yari

Cheers
Jason
