Just before the weather got to the point where paint was drying on the brush, the last of the Kyoushuneko prints roll off the paint table production line finishing off - Chinese month for June.
I went for a lighter Khaki for these, which appears to be prominent in the south of the country. Unlike the previous 88th division these are equipped with British & US Kit (or copies)
I had a couple of head swaps to give me a little more variety and pinched a couple of backpacks and water bottles from some warlord supres to give them a slightly different feel to the other troops.
Whilst I am really happy with them, the Chinese in apple green looked great, so now think I need a 'few' extra's to top up the Nationalist forces - Looks like an order is coming Eureka's way.
In total 2 more squads, a second AT Gun, 81mm Mortar and Sniper.
Let's see if these reinforcements can slow the Japanese advance.
Nice stuff there Stu. We are playing a BoB type game tomorrow and one of the guys has inter war, Warlord Chinese (the era, not the manufacturer!) so might be something of interest on my blog in a few day's time.
ReplyDeleteI will look out for it, it seems to be creeping up the popularity rankings all of a sudden ;-)
DeleteAnother lovely unit there Stu and am tempted to make a small Chinese force for when I finally paint up my Japanese troops!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly make a change Steve from Marines and Jungle warfare.
DeleteNicely done Stuart, I particularly like the little touches to help the variety of the unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael
DeleteGreat work on these. I've got some Interwar Chinese sitting primed and awaiting paint and these are particularly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of assistance Bill
DeleteGreat looking figures. I like the mix a lot as it gives a good feel for the Chinese diversity.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to think about who wore it best :-)
