Chinese Militia and a European Mercenary

 So I got a light box, and I'm still dialing in how to use it most efficiently.    I've painted up a Chinese Militia and a few heroes or officers. The militia is for Fistful of Lead and is organized around one leader, and four groups of grunts - consisting of 3 grunts per group. The idea is that this could be a poorly trained and armed swarm or hoard. Fistful of Lead focuses around squad based skirmish combat, and your typical squad has 5 models. The leader, specialist, and three regulars and you can swap out one regular for a group of grunts. However there are several squad variants allowing things like a exchanging all five of your guys for four specialists, or in this case, for four groups of grunts and one leader. It's a great system, if you've never played it check it out. (7$ pdf!)  Here are the three heroes or leaders, my apologies as they're a bit washed out. Two Chinese on either end and a European Mercenary in the center. He's not terribly thrilled wit...

A fishy tale in Warlord China, Xiao Yú, 192x - 193x

I've been working on all this in earnest since last August, terrain, lore, armies, everything organized for Fistful of Lead, and Beyond the Empire. Some day.. some day I'll have enough army men for Setting the East Ablaze.  Anyways, an introduction. The province of Xiao Yú, a microcosm of the struggles of Greater China, is a small forgotten land, tucked away somewhere north of Beijing, near the Mongolian Border, neighbor enough to Manchuria, somewhere in the lands of Rehe and inner Mongolia. The province takes it's name from the Xiao Yú River, an equally forgotten tributary that snakes off the northern hump of the Yellow River, past Shanxi and into the lands beyond.  It's quite alright if you've never seen Xiao Yú on any map, the residents prefer it that way. Some say that it was the Germans who originally erased it from the maps around the time of the Boxer Rebellion, not in the typical Germanic fashion mind you - nothing was burned down - but rather, that their in...

Nationalist Chinese Armor

 Got these two knocked out today. I really enjoy painting armor. The tank, a Panzer 1, is kinda a real lame kit from Warlord Games. I would not recommend. However the armored car, an SdKfz 222 is from Rubicon and was delightful. Rubicon really is a top shelf company, and they have a bunch of kits I hope to get some day.  I'm feeling kinda frustrated at the moment. I'm not getting a lot painted and I just can't shake this unmotivated blight. A big problem is that I just don't really have much hope of playing any games anytime soon. Eh, ho hum.  My Nationalist Chinese list is curated, and from all my left over Chinese minis I've put together a Chinese Communist Guerilla list. I'm both amused that I have the minis and disappointed that I have the minis lol.  But enough rambling, here's the armor.    These were a pain in the butt to do, the camo, on man, what agony! But they're looking pretty nice, despite my crummy photo skills. Enjoy!
