(KICKSTARTER) Empress Modern

[Rob_bresnen]

USMC corp. have finally landed- and they look awesome!

[The Dozing Dragon]

Marines have landed....wow. Well worth the wait and apologies for any impatience 

[NurgleHH]

Still waiting, but the end is near, i hope.

Still waiting, but the end is near, i hope.

Same for me, I pledged for the Oshkosh MRAP and that might be the delaying factor...

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

The vast majority of the orders, 2/3rds, are now posted with the balance of orders now packed and ready for posting over the next couple of days.

Details of this is regularly stated in the comments section of the Kickstarter.

Luv & Cuddles,
Paul

We get punished for pledging for the MRAP and every. single. other. goodie in the kickstarter

Can't wait for mine to turn up!! Thanks for all the hard work Empress!

[flags_of_war]

Got mine today and they are simply stunning. Now to paint all these Diggers

[Elbows]

So... now people are getting these, does anyone have advice on paint colours to use for PLA camo?

Is 500 pages enough for ya? (start backwards, as the earliest pages are too old - links are dead etc.)

You'll realize pretty quickly that they use so many ridiculous camo patterns almost anything you make up would be feasible (yes even bright orange etc.)

Received my minis yesterday. As good as expected from the leading Modern Mini Company!
 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Got mine yesterday
Is it just me, or are the Divers a bit on the large side?

[Hammers]

My gran had a settee with those pattern on in the 1970s....sheesh

I bet that settee was very hard to to find in a Tibetan environment.

[Quendil]

I got my Aussies the other week and they are superb, just need to paint them now

Excellent! Thanks very much!

Here are some more colour variants
From Airsoft Canada
http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=133939&page=2

left to right: urban digital, used by all four forces; tibetan camo, used by army(tibetan region) and air force(paratroopers)

left to right: for 2nd artillery force (nuclear missile troops); for army and air force; prototype, 3rd camp didn't issue to any of the forces; for navy and marines

I plan to use the Urban Digital scheme.  The light grey base is distinctive.

I picked my PLA up yesterday and very nice they are too. A quick question (possibly slightly hypothetical); I want to use my PLA in a jungle setting for a fictitious near future setting (sort of Operation Flashpoint, though I've never actually played that). What camo pattern would regular ground troops likely wear? Digital 07 Woodland seems like the obvious pattern but is it only for Second Artillery use? No idea! Any thoughts? Thanks.

[Elbows]

Sounds like currently the 07 Universal Camouflage is pretty standardized.  You'd be looking at basic infantry forces wearing the third one in the image you posted (I think).

That being said...you can roll with whatever, I doubt people will be picky.  I also don't doubt that we'll see many more variations on the pattern.
