The Land of the Rising Sun

I´ve been collecting figures for years but unfortunately for GW I never could get into the 40K look (tho I have a mostly GW Undead army ) so I started collecting Warzone figures in its heyday and was very upset when the game went belly up. So for some years I simply stored my figures and stared at them until my brother convinced me of start playing 40K with my stuff.

So I started completing my Mishima Samurai to use them as Eldar because it´s the only assault army I could imagine my samurai in... I thought about nids but only for a sec. After seeing the DKoK I convinced myself that I wanted to start a WW1 IG army modeled after the FW gorgeous but really expensive figures no matter that the current metagaming looks kindly on mech/aeromech forces. So I grabbed some GW stuff that I like (CCS box and HWT) got nearly 200+ Warzone figures and started converting.

I´m about half way done towards the 1500pts line and to motivate myself I decided to start posting stuff here. The base colors are browns for the uniform with greys for the armor plates. Once I´m finished with all the figures I´ll have a mass dip party for building shadows and if some sanity remains I´ll highlight the armor plates... yeah that´s the plan... I think...(I´m starting to regret going IG horde)


To start my Count As armor. a LRBT and a Griffon converted from Tamiya kits, a Carro Armato 13/40 and the Semovente 75 that share the same hull for an homogeneus look

More stuff


A PCS with more plasma and another regular squad FT this time

HWTs, the best GW box if you have bits and a little bit of imagination

That´s all for now, I´ll be posting more stuff as it is finished and also from my Eldar Samurai.

Warzone has some nice figures. Pity about the scale wonkyness, but it doesn't seem to show up in your stuff. Like the Russ best. Will you be doing any of the walkers? The Capitol ones are probably the best match for sentinels - the Bauhous look more like dreadnaughts, IMHO.

I know what you mean about the HWT box - it seems really expensive, but only if you play by GW's rules and don't get 9 HWT out of it.

Nope, my brother had three Vulcan Battlesuits but I don´t know where they went.

About the scale, although 1/48 is closer to 40K I found out that that´s not true for the early war tanks where 1/35 fits better and I can avoid issues with the hatches and doors beings too small.

Today I was building my LasCan Battery when I realised half way(and after using a ton of superglue) that I built them the wrong way, aghhhhhhh!

I meant the scale on the warzone stuff - I think 1/35 early war tanks do very well indeed - I have a number in various armies. It seems like warzone switched scale half way through - their plastics are from the earlier, less heroic era, while the metals you see are mostly quite large.

Kestral. Actually the metals you can see in the photo above are from the first "big heads" batch for Warzone 1 ed, in the last ed the figures were being scaled back to more realistic proportions along with the plastics.

Today I´m posting another squad I finished pending the final dip and dry brushing and my Count as Chimera, a Tamiya halftrack. I didn´t touch this one much, just to replace the MG 42 for a heavy flamer.



And the infantry squad, one down a thousand to go.

Nice use of the warzone minis! I have a few scatered around in my bitz box, but never did anything with them -maybe I should, after seeing yours!

I like the chainsword and flamer conversions - they give it a very 40K feel. Those are conversions, right? Very much like the grey and tan scheme, and would also like to see the Mishima...

I always thought the minis had gotten larger - props to warzone for not making them larger like every company seems to.

Been lazy lately and not much has advanced. Down I have posted two Venusian Rangers that I´m going to use as Commissars, the figures are almost finished but as you can see the armor is not shaded, I´m torn between blacklining them with a micron pen or go for a badab wash plus highlighting, I hate painting white armor.



For the few that asked these three are in my Eldar Samurai army, Warzone Mishima Hatamoto being used as Warlocks, one day I´ll install photoshop and do some cool glowy patterns for the bases (and do better job with the wichtblade too )



And last one of the few GW pieces in my armies and only because I think it´s the only cool Eldar Lord, Maugan Ra. I got the mini from a trade with fellow dakkite Artik Firangi, Maugan was missing the shurican and the backpack but I had some bits around.

Thanks guys but I´m kind of stuck. I have 27 infantry guys and a HWT to go and now I´m real busy with RL stuff I don´t know if I´ll make with all my army painted to the tournament Admiral plus the heads I wanted to order from Westwind Games are not available from Maelstrom yet so no free shipping and delays

I´m bringing back my threat from the dead as I have commited to the next NagoyaHammer tournament and need to motivate myself. Again my IG takes the field and to celebrate it my latest WiP a Taurus Venator using an old Void Ronin Vehicle with magnets for weapon swapping. And why 2 HK missiles you might wonder, well with twin-link lascan plus scouting I think the Taurus will appear kill something hopefully and then be utterly crushed before it can have another go, so better to make that turn count.

I decided to change a little bit my LasCanons using the UK 25 pounder gun carriage as a guide. Prior model can be seen above but will post it again for comparison.

The new version looks more robust


Also I´ve been working on some Warzone Blood Berets to use as Storm Troopers in a double melta configuration.

There they are standing in front of a wip bunker.

Nagoya Hammer is over and my IG got kicked around. The worst match was on the third game were necrons got the upper hand in close terrain and ate my tanks for lunch. On the positive side there is a second LR painted and a Basilisk built on a M7 Priest thats just needs its crew and some details more. So I´m posting 3 photos of my current armor support.


HWT and my artillery prepare to smash Space Puppies.


The calm before the scarabs swarms.


Necrons just about to eat my tanks. The LR can swap weapons between the vanilla LR and the Exterminator.

After a looong hiatus of painting absolutely nothing I got my brushes out and proceeded to convert and paint a flyer to join my army. As I dig the ww1/ww2 look I chose a propeller plane to use and simply added the weapon load of an Lightning.

Attacking my to paint pile one figure at a year I got a Tiger Dragon Squad Leader finished. It was already painted but with the resurrection of Warzone I decided to scrap the paint job of my Tiger Dragons and start again. Until WZ is on the market it will be used as a Warp Spider Exarch.

Another squad down, it would be nice that I'm clearing my to do pile except for the fact that I pledged in the Warzone KS and I'll be even in more trouble when my zillion figures arrive.

Living in Japan this is why GW rising prices don't bother me so much. It's a rushed paint job and the kit was mediocre at best but then it cost me 252yen and I just wanted to check how it would look finished.



Now if the Wraithknight is as overpowered as the price level suggest it's time for me to start hunting for another count-as.

An update long overdue. This is my current all infantry IG, as seen it's 1165 points. As I'm building based on the miniatures I have rather than the most efficient, the list is less than optimal.


I'm not very sure where I want to go from here. I could add Comissars to the blobs to keep them in place or Stormtroopers, perhaps even some mortars for camping an objectve while harrasing the enemy.

Last week I worked on a few Bauhaus figures with the aim of expanding my IG horde list with all my Warzone figures.





also finished half my home made ADL, next is to build some connecting pieces to allow some variety.





Perhaps I will add some more detail to the interior, like ammo cases or other pieces of trench debris.
