Team Yankee Firestorm Red Thunder Soviet Turn 1 force

We are ready to play our first turn of the Team Yankee Firestorm Red Thunder Campaign.

I have finished my 100 point Soviet force. It is a little hard to see, but here it is.

The battles that will be fought on Sunday are:

Serge(Soviet with East Germans) attacking Francis (Canadians). I will bring the terrain

Duncan (Soviets) attacking Mike (French and American). Need either Duncan or Mike to bring terrain.

This is the first 2 battles. Remember that there are 5 battles in turn 1.

Painting East German T55 and BTR 60 part 2 (Team Yankee)

I had already painted some T55s and BTR 60s but I needed more.

Here is my second company of T55s

and one RT-60. I still have 4 left to paint, but don't need them for my list.

So I am all set for our first campaign turn on Sunday. We are playing the Team Yankee Firestorm (Red Thunder) campaign.

Painting Samurai Ashigaru (Test of Honour)

I wanted to diversify my Samurai pirates a little and learn a little about Test of Honour game. Unfortunately I bought the first edition rules and a bunch of crappy models. I started painting them.

These are some Ashigaru with Yari.

I have 30 left to paint. They are built and primed. I just need the energy to paint them.

Painted: 12

Total for 2019: 254

Painting Samurai Pirates (Wako Clan)

Mike bought a kickstarter from Zenit Miniatures. They were selling, new armies, the Wako pirates and European Namban for the Kensei game system.

Kensei game

The models were very impressive. The only problem is they come in bags of five with no markings. You have 5 bodies in one bag and 5 weapons in another bag. There were a total of 41 miniatures. So not a small feat to put together.

I used the images from this web site to help out.

Wako an Namban miniatures.

These are some bandits with nagamaki.
