Back of Beyond Japanese Army figures?

[Irishrover13]

Hey just picked up the World at war and back of beyond combo and I was wondering where people get figures for a Back of Beyond Japanese army? Or do you just wing it?
Cheers,
Irish

Tsuba miniatures, perhaps?

Black Army (if they are back in business) or Pulp figures

Black army's new website is up. I bought a bunch of there stuff at a local convention a few years back, cracking stuff but still havent painted a bit of it. Just opened up the door and tossed it all on the "lead Pile"

In a pinch I think you could use the Copplestone Warlord Chinese-just paint the uniforms khaki.

[Stecal]

If you talking about Japanese 1933+ you can just use WW2 Japanese.  Their uniforms changed very little. Just avoid ones in shorts or leafy camoflage from the Island campaigns.

I am more looking at 1918-1933 when they were trying to take over Centeral Aisa and fight the red Russians siding with the Whites.

 I produce a good range of Japanese Imperial Army, about 23 different figures.

 They were made with the WW2 period in mind but perhaps they can be ok for your project.

 Some figures might be on the blog only as the site has most but not the rifles B blister.

Pulp Figures does a very nice set of Japanese naval infantry for that period:

The idea that how looked Japanese during the intervention in Russia, you can refer to the information here:

On my quite complete, the easiest Japanese having made conversion figures Copplestone.

Interesting.

I have the beginnings of a cunning stunt ...

Eventhough the Tsuba miniatures wear damasks rather than the more de reigeur putttees, I would personally go with the former.

To me, in a BoB setting, "too modern" is more anathema than "too old fashioned".

Another vote for Pulp Miniatures Japanese Naval Troops. Very nice figures & paint up well.

Hi Cuprum,

What would be needed to convert Copplestone's Reds to Japanese?

Thanks,

James

Principally footwear and personal equipment. Boots you can readily fix with a file, paintwork and or putty. The personal equipment is a more daunting prospect as most of the Copplestone range come with a miscellany of bandloiers of various types which look most un-Japanese. I suppose it all depends on how anal yopu are about these things and I readily confess to being so, at least in this instance.
