osoi Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Well one of my mates is a retainer (Henchman equilivant) for Bushido and we were discussing colour schemes and that and he sent me the below image as a inspiration board of historical Japanese clan colours. I thought others might also find it useful. Edited August 25, 2012 by osoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Oh! Pretty! I like those. Particularly Tokugawa. Might snap me out of my desire to paint my Ten Thunders like Naruto characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was thinking maybe something along the lines of Oda or Date since I am having fun painting yellows at the moment but I'm not sure how nicely that will translate for all my undead 10T when I get them.

daemonkin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Imagawa turquoise and red or shiMazu green and white looks good for me D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm debating whether to treat each of my 10T crews as seperate "clans" considering they're all 10T (how do you explain Misaki attacking Mei Feng?) That said Misaki is definitely going to be in the Shimazu style, as her main inspiration is House of Flying Daggers and I think the green and white will look great on her. I'm tempted to turn Mei Feng into the Tiger of Kai and go Takeda, though the legacy of Takeda maybe fits with McCabe more (along with the red for Guild). Other options for McCabe are Hojo and Ouchi (don't like the black on Mori and Asai). Mei Feng could always go with Tokugawa, Asakura or Satomi. I might go Miyoshi for Yan Lo, but it's very tempting to do Toshiro up as Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo (and rival of Takeda). As for Lynch, I likely won't pick him up, nor does he really fit these kind of colour schemes. I might need to play Total War: Shogun 2 again... haven't play Fall of the Samurai yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelious1424 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks for this Osoi, this will really help me decide how I want to paint my 10t stuff!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I'm still having trouble deciding myself. I'm leaning towards not mimicking any particular clan and going with a largely purple base since I'm doing that on my Neverborn (which are now my main faction). I also just REALLY like working with purple for some reason. My Cryx are purple too and I did it before it became cool. EDIT: Actually, the Uesugi clan is a good scheme and would match them with how I plan to paint my Lynch crew. And looking them up briefly on Wiki, the clan were considered and outsider clan during the Edo period which kind of fits the Katanaka clan it would seem.

sunabe Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Only 2 samurai armies in history had universal colour schemes for their armies. al other were ragtag band of colours with their banners the only indentifying marks. but for colour schemes it works. One could also look at the clans of legend of the five rings for colour schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shaper Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Great find! I've also been tempted with using Avatar the Last Airbender as a basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracomax Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm debating whether to treat each of my 10T crews as seperate "clans" considering they're all 10T (how do you explain Misaki attacking Mei Feng?) I can think of a couple of reasons--1)So that Ramos won't suspect Mei Feng. 2) Because Mei Feng is trying to grab a bit too much power in the 10T and needs a smackdown. 2-A)Because Mei Feng stole Misaki's cake for Ramos...

wolfoman117 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didn‘t know Date clan was on yellow. i have a 1/6 scale figure of Date Masamune and his armour is black and blue. i will paint my ten thunders with the legend of five rings crane clan‘s colours: blue and white XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobek Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 One could also look at the clans of legend of the five rings for colour schemes. That's probably what I'll end up doing. Will have to decide between Unicorn, Phoenix, and Dragon though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blog Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Oda, Asai, or Shimazu. Can't.... Decide! arg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagovan Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I was going to use the Hojo Clan for my army for a certain other game, but now I'm tempted to shift them to the Satomi and use the Hojo for my 10T. Decisions, decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish42 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Awesome find, now I just need the postie to arrive with my goodies.
