Hi Ralf, nice figures and mindful paintwork!

  Hi Shogun Here are some more books on Samurai.  First is the Samurai in Color Phots by Crowood publishing . Next and I think the best are printed in Japan with English sub titles . History of Japanese Armor from the YaYoi period to the Muromachi period 12-14 century . Second The Waring Period to the Edo period. 14th to 19th century . Both books are by Ritta Nakanishi , Also check out Osprey and Mr S.R. Tunbull  Willie

Hi Willie, I get any books by Mr Turnbull. A good start for absolut beginners in this theme maybe "Secrets Of The Samurai" by Oscar Ratti/Adele Westbrook. By the way my very first was Samurai Warriors by Turnbull.
