Ninjas aka Shinobi have always captured my imagination.
And I've been wanting some for my collection. So after receiving my Perry Minitaures order I got to work IMMEDIATELY.

| Especially this one. :p |

| I love miniatures that are sculpted so well that they literally paint themselves. |
This is a record so far for me b/c I finished these bad boys in three days. Well, to be fair, they're monochrome: black on black on black. They're not exactly Napoleonics (which *SHUDDER* I'll never paint again - but that's another story). However, I did some layering by dry brushing subtle grays to give some depth. I dispensed with any fancy bases, flesh color, etc. My rationale being 'less is more' and people tend to concentrate and focus on the model itself without the visual noise of a really ornate base like in a miniature diorama, IMHO. Especially if you have more than one figure on the table. See for yourself.

| Here's my Shinjou Clan of the Koka-Ryu from the infamous Iga region. |

Their mission tonight is to infiltrate a subterranean stronghold also know as
'The Rock [of Gibraltar]' and liquidate a certain Dr. Hugo Von X. |
 |
| Some of you will recognize my Incursion board which makes a nice backdrop and mission board. |
 |
| Again, absolutely brilliant posing!! |
|
| Especially this one. :p |
Now all I need to get are some Perry Miniatures Samurai in everyday dress and build a samurai type castle. So many miniatures and so little time...
