WW2: Pacfic - Japanese Rifleman

Hi Folks,

As seen over on Adams Blog there are some USMC and some WIP Diggers are to be found on Poochies Blog.

This is for a World War II: Pacific 28mm game we are working on, using Ambush Alley's Force on Force games rule.

I am doing Japanese; here is my first horribly sterotypical Bolt Action Miniatures Japanese rifleman.


Light is really crap (he isnt that yellow) and my Matt Varnish dosnt seem that Matt, but you get the idea.

Now,  back to doing work :)

Cheers
Jason

SAGA Illiad: Lycians

Hey Folk,

Work has been stupid busy so progress has been slow on these. I made myself not work yesterday and painted the below while the wife and I watched the Terra Nova pilot (Newish SF TV show from Speilberg, good idea but not gritty enough and too prdictable for our taste)

Painting was good an this morning I finished off my first Warrior unit, 12 Lycians. To make them a bit special I have armed them only with Swords, and one has an axe. Being Pirates for the main I thought swords would be more common than long spears.

                                      


Sheilds are a bit shiney as they have just been matt varnished.

Flash Traffic: Major Japanese Victory in the West Pacific

*********************************************************************************
Flash Traffic
Date: 6th February 1870

Received: Crucible Command Pacific

Message Reads:
Admiral Hitorio Hanso reports a decisive victory against the capitalist forces of the FSA.  Under my command my Task Force has engaged and sunk TWO enemy Battleships, which Shinobi Intelligence has identified from the wreckage as the USS Retribution and USS Constitution.  Both were lost with all hands when their magazines exploded.  IJNS Musashi claims the kill for the first Battleship while the Fleet Air Arm torpedo bomber squadron struck the final blow against the second Battleship.

The enemy frigate screen was swept aside with ease with the new Fujin class Corvettes and Tanuki class Gunships (Heavy Cruisers) preforming well. The enemy Cruiser's disengaged after one of there number was lost and they faced overwhelming odds. My only regret is that the enemy Commander Sheridan was absent at the time. We will know move to occupy the Coral Islands.  We have suffered no significant losses.

Long Live the Empress!

Sorry Jamie!  Not much you could do about dual snake eyes... :(

At least your new terrain looks really good. :)
