Hi Lexx, these models are NO conversions, they are build right out of the blister of the upcoming new Japanese Gear Krieg walkers from DP9.

Hi again,

Japanese Supersoldiers

Minis by Rebel Minis (-> http://www.rebelminis.com/) ; the head from the second soldier from left is by Skytrex (Command Decision)
We have reached an agreement to use the fine 15mm Titan Marines from Rebel Minis as our weird WW II Japanese Supersoldiers.

Background: In July 1943, Unit 100 received the chemical formula of the chemical cocktail used for the creation of the German Supersoldiers. Together with their own research Unit 100 scientist were able to create a highly addictive, breathable drug that could be given for a prolonged time to humans.
The test subjects showed the same increased strength, endurance and reaction time as the German Supersoldiers without the constant risk of physical collapse. The drug needed to be applied almost constantly via a specially designed breathing apparatus. As soon the drug was not used for more than two days all test subjects died within minutes.
Still the Japanese high command did not hesitated for long and ordered the production of the combat drug for field-testing. The effects of the breathable drug allowed the soldiers to wear heavy body armour without penalty and carry the Type 4 light machinegun as a standard weapon!

Owing to their greater effectiveness and the limited amount of the drugs a Supersoldier squad consisted of just two teams of three members each.
