Bushido: Jung Pirates

When years passed without word of the Jung, they were considered lost, their return under the moon of the giant squid surprised everyone. They have reaped what they need from the traders on the seas of the Jwar Isles, forcing the Shiho, the leaders of the Prefecture at that time, to label them pirates. Their fleets are faster and their knowledge of the Isles’ waters unparalleled by all but perhaps the Carp clan, allowing them to evade the larger, less experienced junks of the Prefecture. Long years away from the courts of the Jwar Isles have left the Jung rough around the edges but they have not forgotten their ancestry.

Welcome back to the Blog of Vice and Dice and today for your reading pleasure I have another Bushido update with the view to finishing my collections and documenting them here.

This time it's the Purple People Eaters turn to get finished up, my Jung Pirates.

Bushido: Savage Wave completed... maybe.

Hey boys and girls, look another post! I haven't stopped after a week again.

Today I only had a half day at work some got some hobby in, plus as a change of pace something that's not Middle Earth related but still well in my comfort zone.

So what I done was completed my Savage Wave Warband (Well providing I don't buy anymore..)

Bushido: More Savage Wave, House & Torii Gate

Good morning/afternoon/night my loyal readers of the darkest dankest Blog of Vice and Dice.

I've been a bit lax updating this Blog with my efforts mostly being on posting on Fannybook for ease and pure laziness on my part.

But I have 2 Bushido posts coming up for you reading pleasure.

First is a general update than tomorrow a Battlereport/photo dump of my latest game.

Warband so far, 13 buggers with 3 more to finish.

Bushido: 3D Printed House and Scatter Terrain

Welcome loyal readers who still like to punish themselves by reading my ol' somewhat hobby butterfly Blog.

Nothing too exciting today I'm afraid with just some scenery for my WIP Bushido 2x2 gaming board.

Bushido: Battle Report(ish) - 35 Rice Savage Wave Vs Tengu

So this lunchtime I jumped on a London Overground train and headed down to Harrow for a few hours of Wargaming once again against my regular opponent Pat at his place.

I arrived to see a lovely 2x2 board already set up and his Warband ready for some action.

I quickly made up a 35 Rice Warband which looked cool.. I had no clue how well they may  play & synergize or not (Mostly not as it happened hehe).

Bushido: Savage Wave Pt.2

Well then these didn't take long to paint up (Less than a week in fact), Plus I have to say I was really shocked just how much I enjoyed painting these up.

Sticking them together though wasn't so good.. I may or may not have sworn once, Ok maybe twice 😄

So without rambling on here's the completed Save Wave starter set:

Bushido: Savage Wave Pt.1

Welcome boys and girls, it's seem the combination of warm weather and the Salute trip is fully juiced up my hobby mojo (I call him Tim, Tim the Mojo).

This morning in the space of 2 hours I cracked out my first ever Bushido mini and tried out a new paint/technique as well.

Anyway enough babble here's some pictures:

Salute '18 Da Loot!

Welcome readers, as you may know when I come back from Wargaming shows I like to do a loot post so Ta Da!

First of all I'd like to thank Paul aka Golgfag1 for the ticket and driving me, without him I wouldn't have gone. Second everyone I spoke to and met up with, I have had a blast talking to everyone and some I haven't seen for 15 odd years..

Now too Da Loot!

So tell me about Bushido?

Welcome boys and girls back to my section of the underwebs, bit of something new today folks:

Bushido:

Bushido is an oriental fantasy tabletop miniature battle game for two players. Each player commands a force of no more than a handful of individuals, represented by 32mm metal miniatures. 

These forces meet on the battlefield and the commanders (the players, that is) try to outwit, outfight and outlive the opposing force and fulfil their battle objectives while denying the enemy theirs. If you have played tabletop miniature games before, Bushido falls into the ‘skirmish game’ category: all miniatures represent individuals and your force consists of a small group of unique characters rather than a big faceless army. 

A game of Bushido is fast-moving, flexible and filled with strategizing, counter-strategizing and counter-counter-strategizing. Your tactical acumen is important, but as dice add an element of randomness, so too is your ability to think on your feet. 

A typical game of Bushido takes between one and two hours to play - more if you are new to the game, less if you are a seasoned veteran.
