Ashigaru Spear - Can you ever have too many?

One more 22 figure stand of Ashigaru spearmen rolled off the painting desk over the weekend.  The project now fields Ashigaru eight spear/sword units.  These Peter Pig spearmen are all sporting the red lacquered armor.  With this unit, the project total reaches 22 stands plus a handful of commanders.  While the mix of troop types might not yet be optimal, I should be able to field both sides for most of the Samurai Battles scenarios.  I could use at least one more archer unit and one more teppo to allow greater flexibility in OB preparations.  Perhaps one more mounted Samurai too?

    Great Ashigaru, Jonathan! Apparently you're about to recreate Nobinaga's Unification at a scale of 1:20. ;-)

    Thanks very much

      Hi Stefano, unfortunately, I only have a few bits and bobs left over until Renegade begins producing again. I am waiting for production to resume too.

    Well, if they look like these you can never have too many indeed...

    No you cannot have enough and if they look like these then for sure not.

      Christopher, you and MiniMike have given me the courage to forge ahead. First, I need to restock spearmen!

    No, you really can't have too many ashigaru, particularly when they look as great as these.

    Nice work and continued amazing productivity, Jon.

    Oh, and it's "You can never have enough French Line Infantry",

    Sheesh!! :-)
