Chinese Warlord Armband Colors?
« on: June 21, 2017, 10:58:12 PM »
I'm building a late warlord, early Kuomintang Army for Bolt Action. That being said my soldiers have joined the NRA enmasse when the Fengtian Clique was absorbed by the NRA under the orders of Zhang Xueliang. Cap stars will be white, I'm using Copplestone figures, and flags the Kuomintang colors. However the armbands add an interesting flavor to the force as they are NRA troops yes, but they belong to a specific general and specific Clique of now Kuomintang politics. So bottom line does anyone have colors/insignia for Fengtian clique armbands? I've done considerable looking but cant find anything. NAy help is appreciated!

Difficult subject indeed.

I have not found exactly what you are looking for, but searching a bit I found some Fengtien armbands of earlier periods.



This template shows two Fengtien armbands during the mid-20s. In the Osprey book from where it comes, they say the red on white armband was only one of many used by Fengtien. It seems Warlord armies used a lot of different models. Usually they had a white circle in the middle with the Chinese character of the Army or the superior officer of the unit, like here (Machinegunner 00:00):

Also early Nationalist Army (and Communist and the Ankuochun) used red armbands.

I hope this help you a bit.

PS: I found no way to resize the picture. Sorry.  :(
