15mm Gear Krieg Shiki walkers by DP9 -now fully painted
« on: December 06, 2009, 01:48:59 PM »
“World at War: Gear Krieg Banzai!” is 99% written and already in the good hands of our creative consultant/ editor/ proofreader Reuben.

It will include a lot of weird Pacific War background, at least 10 Shiki variants, an army list to field combat walker only forces and 3 Infantry army lists:

Oni,
Koumajutsu and
Betsudotai Ninja special Ops.
Add the lists of my Mongoose published Pacific War book and you are well covered for the weird Pacific War!

DP9 also finished sculpting the new Japanese Shiki 38 and Shiki 41 Walkers for Gear Krieg. Which will be the first new miniature releases for Gear Krieg in many years. The Shiki was a solid early war walker design. They were fast and equipped with a powerful (if limited) punch in the form of the teppoyari anti-tank lance, and they carried two machineguns to deal with enemy infantry.

I received the resin master this week and want to share some pics of the possible variants:

Shiki 38 - basic variant with one turret mounted MG and one rear turret mounted MG, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 38 Flamer - variant with one turret mounted Heavy Flamethrower and MG, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 38 1.8cm gun - variant with one turret mounted 1.8 cannon, one turret mounted MG, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 38 Artillery Rocket - variant with one turret mounted MG, one top turret mounted Artillery Rocket (Heavy), one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 38 Sonic - variant with turret mounted Sonic Projector, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives

Shiki 41: The Shiki 41 was basically an upgraded Shiki 38 combat walker. The Japanese were quick to adapt the Shiki walker designs to the jungle environment. Some of the advances included rubber seals to prevent flooding, snorkels to ford small rivers and wide feet to spread out the walker's weight. All together resulted in the 1941 Shiki 41 amphibious walker. The Shiki 41 also received improved frontal armour and a slightly better engine.

Shiki 41 - basic variant with one turret mounted MG and one rear turret mounted MG, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 41 Flamer - variant with one turret mounted Heavy Flamethrower and MG, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 41 Laser - variant with one turret mounted Light Laser, one Teppoyari and Anti-Tank Explosives


Shiki 41 AA - variant with turret mounted 2cm Quad AA gun and Anti-Tank Explosives

I have really liked most of DP9's Greig Kreig models, but these just are not doing it for me. Maybe it is the lanky long arms, but something does not sit right.

The design was established years ago with the art in the GK books by DP9. IMO it is indeed an awkward design - as most Japanese armoured car/ tank designs of that time! IMO It looks as it schould look!
The model is doing a splendid job to look Japanese - Look at the small star at the nose, the MG that really looks like a Type 92 HMG. Compare it to Japanese Halftracks etc. etc.

As ever Agis, I'm in awe!  ;D

 The lads I game with here have been muttering about a WW2 project. I've really got to get them thinking about Gearkrieg...
