You are more then welcome, all of my books are true "hobby" projects. But Gear Krieg is something special for me, the 1st and still best weird war setting combined with the coolest walker designs around!

Agis, these all look awesome.
Gear Krief really looks like a setting I could get into. 15mm as well yeah? That would be even better (currently suffering from 'I have too much 28mm Flintloque stuff'itis and am beginning to convert to 15mm wherever I can)!

GK is by default 15mm and the models are certainly 15mm (1/100). The rules provide can be played from 6mm upwards.

Shiki-Conga line  :D

I really like the way you have painted your Japanese vehicles and walkers. If only I could convert all of my 15mm walkers into 20mm ones, then I......Oh wait, extrapolating drawings and masking a master in plasticcard and casting that is illegal, right?  :? Back to the drawing board for me then.

@20mm: Why not ask if you can produce them under license by DP9?  ;)
If you are really interested, please PM me...

Hi again,
time for some additional information of our planned Gear Krieg: Banzai! book. The whole story can be found here:

Japanese Supersoldiers

Minis by Rebel Minis (-> http://www.rebelminis.com/ (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.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Japanese_Supersoldiers_2.jpg)
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.
