Bushi Buntai III: Ashigaru Shooters #2

  


Hello!

I'm back with Samurai wars' new painted Ashigaru yumi shooters today!

Miniatures from Fireforge plastic Ashigaru box.

Yumi is the Japanese term for a bow. As used in English, yumi refers more specifically to traditional Japanese asymmetrical bows, and includes the longer daikyū and the shorter hankyū used in the practice of kyūdō and kyūjutsu, or Japanese archery.

       The yumi was an important weapon of the samurai warrior during the feudal period of Japan. It is typically shot with Japanese arrows known as ya.

       The most famous style of yumi is an asymmetrically shaped long bow with a length of more than 2 m (6 ft 7 in), characterized by the archer holding the part of the bow below the center to shoot the arrow.

  5. Lovely looking archers! Do you think the fireforge plastic figures are any good or is it just your splendid painting covering up imperfections? I'm planning a samurai project and still weighing up options?

    1. Honestly? They are good, but not great. Sometimes parts are mismatched, some details are 'flooded' with plastic.
      The advantage is that we have a lot of them in plastic - just right for large armies.
      although the set of shooters and the set of ordinary spearmen are two different sets. We can't make different ones from one set :(
