Unfinished business

So we finished on Toshiro. This is how he ended up with his Ashigaru Summons. Ashigaru are decent as a summons because they are survivable (Hard to Kill). They are card swallowers, but decent. For cards and Stones on the first turn.

I want the plates on their chests to look a little like Jade, and tried to make my models look more Han than Japanese.

I did some work to Toshiro. His hair needs some love. As does his Katana. I still think he looks like Ian Holloway. But for me I feel I stop painting him and his honour can stay intact. So he put some of glistening entrails back, at least until they are needed for summoning.

Stilll to do are a mortimer and a blue belle repair. Both have shiny metal bits.

These are both models I painted early on and liked, and very much want to fix (they both remind me of people I knew). They took some hits at a tourney.

On my work bench are also the Soul Porter and Anna Lovelace. This latter model I can not seem to finish. I take her out with other models, but always seem to finish other stuff. I hastily put simple colours on her, and did not do this well. It means that I still need to correct mistakes. The other day Soul Stone Miner picked her up. Took one look and put her back... She had base coats and nothing else and didn't look good. Poor Anna.

I have played with her. She is a good way to see cards, if you don't use Philip or Hanna. Nerfing enemy pushes etc is also very good and her ability to summon could be alright too. Doing her cool-stuff needs suits, and as a henchman she can stone for them. But to be honest none of her tricks are worth stones. Maybe a card, but a stone for a mindless zombie? I don't think so. I might cheat a low number with the right suit for moderate damage and a Seishin, or a corpse-bloatable model? Maybe. But not a stone for a zombie.
