Samurai

Wargaming with samurai required me to learn about a whole new culture and history I hardly knew anything about. And painting all that intricate armour certainly challenged my skills!

Besides the figures, I also had to build up a whole new range of  terrain to recreate feudal Japan in miniature.

But the end result has been some very colourful and atmospheric games.
