    "Play what you actually want to play..." Amen to this line. I spent a few years looking at guardsmen and wanting to collect them. However, I didn't like any guard army enough to collect. That's when I got the idea of an Japanese Edo period army. Though it's barely anything yet, it's a blast to find bits and build my own unique army of guardsmen

    • @lukerogers9348
      @lukerogers9348 2 года назад +8

      Awesome, I can actually get behind terminator armor for sisters of battle. Did you give them different looking Terminator armor or basic? I've been kit bashing ashigarus (I suck at spelling) with imperial guardsmen bits. They look actually decent.

    • @lukerogers9348
      @lukerogers9348 2 года назад +2

      @날파리우스의 워해머 체널 with my limited knowledge lol it's the straw hat style, but I don't think they are actually straw. I got the models from "Pike and Shotte". The only complaint I have is that I have to use the basic guardsmen arms.

    • @lukerogers9348
      @lukerogers9348 2 года назад +2

      @날파리우스의 워해머 체널 i actually plan on letting the samurai be more cavalry based with a few in foot. However they will be a fraction to the army, where the ashigarus will be the main bulk. As for yari, I would give them to the cavalry, I see no better weapon for them lol. Hard part when I collect enough infantry will be vehicles. I don't want traditional 40k vehicles, more WW2 Japanese. But finding those in the correct size been tricky the few times I've searched.

      @@markbauby7442 thank you and right now I only of six built. However not sure if I like the kit bash of the Ashigarus. Debating if the arms are too big, since they are Cadian Imperium Guard arms. Otherwise the unit flags on they backs or the traditional packs and traditional armer looks amazing.
