15mm Ashigaru with Bow

These sixteen elements of bow-armed figures represent the last of the ashigaru. I enjoyed painting these much more than the previous kneeling and running ashigaru armed with yari and naginata, mainly because these poses are more straightforward and all parts of the figures were easily accessible:

The DBMM rules allow an upgrade to four elements protected by pavises which were also fun to paint:

The figures are again Eureka, and are supplied in a standing and kneeling pose:

I purchased the pavises separately from Museum Miniatures. Quite a straightforward rendition of a pavise which were sometimes decorated but apparently often left unpainted when used by ashigaru:

I also completed the maximum allowable two elements of arquebus-armed ashigaru:

Another 71 figures achieved toward this project then, with completion now in sight:

Next off the production line will be some baggage and camp figures. These contain a fair bit of variety so should be even more fun to paint.
