Some guys think about the Roman Empire every day. I do too, but I also think about Samurai on the hour, every hour of the day.

I got to build what may be the start of a dream future army project...a mounted Samurai thanks to @eldritchfoundry1475 This company lets me delve into some creative time every month when I get to design my own models and create crazy backstories for them in my head as I paint them. Highly reccomend checking them out for your own crazy war gaming needs, and especially if you're planning a fun TTRPG!

If you're interested in designing and printing out your own models here's the Eldritch Foundry website! You can play around on the site as much as you want for free, and only pay if you find something you want printed, or get the STL file to print yourself!

Basing scheme for this model:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush
Add tufts as desired!

Here's how and why I prime the way I do!
Two different rattle/spray cans are used-one full solid coat of Chaos Black, and a lighter coat of Grey Seer sprayed from above to add light/dark areas. The lighter coating of grey seer adds a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from above to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well.
Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know!
