Chinese VSF Army
« on: September 30, 2009, 11:08:59 AM »
I though I would start this thread to keep track of a small Chinese VSF army I am intending to build.
The first batch of figures are imperial Chinese from Foundry.
Enough for two squads of ten, a General with body guards and two Jingals with crew. I have also got some swordsmen that I am going to use for ships crews etc.



I have also now received from, Copplestone castings, Do or die troops and the bandit character pack that will supply a squad of ten elite modern troops and some character for the army.

First off was one of the squads of riflemen/musketeers. From the figures I bought I realised I would need an extra officer to command the squads. So I have converted one of the swordsmen with some green stuff. A long coat and some shoes added, to match the other officer from foundry.







Now on to cleaning, basing and painting the first squad.

Keep them coming. I have painted about 200 of those Imperial Chinese so far and bought a load more in the last Foundry sale.

Great idea and work on the officer. If you need an extra Mandarin give me a shout as I probably will not find proper uses for the 15 or so I have.

Look forward to seeing these progress.

Oh dear, I can see the Chinese troops are massing, our thin red line is going to be stretched to the limits... ;)

Excellent project and a very nice looking conversion. ;D

I will follow this with interest, I have some Brigade Tong Gang figures and was going to combine them with Ironclads planned Tong release to make a nuisance of themselves in Whitechapel but a Imperial Chinese force will be a grand affair!

This is going to look good. Thinking way ahead, have you thought about some contraptions for these fellows?

Yes I have a few ideas :D
It wouldn't be a VSF army if I didn't ;)

I have thought about a Chinese pressence on Mars for a long time now. I have a large Chinese force, both imperial & boxer. I have also considered a secret Chinese warlord opperating from a base hidden in western China or the Himilayas some where. Have over 200 Imperial & banner troops & even more boxers & black flag.
