2025 Japan year: Samurai, Yokai, Test of Honour, Killer Katanas and what not?

After finishing Conan 2025 seems to turn out to be a Japan year. I am building armies and lists (and terrain) for Test of Honour, Ronin and Killer Katanas. 

I wil very likely try out Clash of Katanas as well as the Heiho system Wargames Atlantic is promising me.

But first some paintwork:

Making a Jorogumo

 Since I decided to use samurai to play The Silver Bayonet I started to collect figures for it. FOr some reason I decided to make my own Jorogumo (a female spider demon) from Reaper Bones' Spider Demon miniatures. This was the result. Below the process. 

The final result
