Japanese Imperial Army

Off to the start of a new painting year with a flame thrower and sniper team from warlord games.

Great minis and am looking forward to using them in 2022.

Although I finished him late in 2021 here is my Japanese commander. Another mini from warlord games.

Chain of command Kota Bahru airfield

 Our Singapore campaign continued with a Japanese invasion of the kota bahru airfield.  These amazing boards were built my my buddy Lee and will be pride of place in a upcoming game at the WA museum:

The fast moving Japanese surge forward seizing the early objectives.

The flame thrower takes out two of the bunkers as the Japanese continue to push towards the objectives at the back of the commonwealth line.

Thanks to multiple consecutive turns, the Japanese win the game. 

Despite a successful charge the Japanese forward charge take a battering and are pinned.

A bike is stolen- a sign of things to come.

Brutal hand to hand combat wipes out the commonwealth forward infantry 

 With the bunker out of action and the tank crew a little rattled from the flame thrower, the Japanese infantry surge towards the objectives.

The mortars kept the Japanese safe behind its smoke.

Despite the loss the commonwealth keep one of their prized push bikes.

And here we are prior to the battle beginning 

More Japanese troops

With a week off I managed to finish a few more Japanese troops.

Our campaign begins in roughly three months so it's time to get cracking as I have approximately another 37 troops and a tank to get ready.

First Japanese troops finished

These are my first finished Japanese troops for an upcoming Malay World War 2 campaign.

Paint wise for the uniform I start with a Vallejo spray, Japanese uniform colour and a light wash of the old GW flesh wash. Belts and pouches used snake bite leather and guns are bolt gun metal and beasty brown with the same flesh wash.

Lots more of these bros to come in between a 9th Age Arabian themed KoE army.

World war 2 Japanese

Work in progress of my First World War 2 Japanese for my upcoming Malay campaign.  The colours use Vallejo base spray and highlights by the Japanese colour.  All were given a wash if a combination reikland flesh and old GW flesh wash.

Highlighted dudes first and then a couple of earlier pics.

These are the earlier pics before a highlight using Vallejo Japanese in the first pic.
