Castle Siege 'Trial' Setup

I've done a castle siege setup, with my 40mm figures, to see what suitable items I have - I'm going to have to make a few more things (like scaling ladders).

Samurai Army Review...

Decided to setup one of the armies on the table; for two reasons...

1. To check on what I've got and what would be nice to add.

- so far the list is : some extra mounted samurai, a unit of bowmen, a better forward samurai skirmish group plus some chaps with odzutsu hand cannon gun

2. To see how a whole army would fit lengthways on the table, enough room for the opposition 

- well only just so I'll have to get some sort of slimmer deployment but at ~180 figs per side it should be achievable.

Anyway some pics of the army.....
