Daimyo of the South 2019


I have made plans to play in Daimyo of the South at the end of the month.  I’m planning to bring my Prefecture of Ryu down in order to test things out and see how the warband functions against a wider range of opponents.  My main issue is getting all my models painted in time.

Towards that end, I am frantically painting in my spare time.  While my warband only has Kenta and a pair of Yarimen to paint up, I've just realised that my warband can use a sideboard so I should probably get some Goshi done too.  The Yarimen are horrific miniatures by modern standards, but I’m getting them done since I can guarantee they’re going to be in 95% of all my Prefecture warbands.  They should hopefully get resculpts in the not-too-distant future, and I'd like to replace them with some more modern sculpts.

The Risen Sun profiles are now effectively locked.  Overall, I feel we've done an excellent job of refining and tuning the profiles to bring them to a state where they should all be useful.  I'm sure there is a dud or two in there (Fai-ginn, I'm looking at you), but we've tried to make everyone have a purpose and be in consideration for a spot in each warband.
