Wow, fantastic work. The heavy infantry in particular are very impressive. I took a look at Watchful I myself, and even ordered some terracotta warriors with crossbows, but they don't sit well with the JDD minis which are quite tall, so they ended up taking a backseat to some of the lovely Renegade Miniatures warring states range. Indeed, if you are interested in the crossbowmen drop me a PM.

That said, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Watchful I Xing Tian. That headless behemoth is going in the army as soon as he's released.

I also picked up Watchful i's chinese building. It was a very nice kit, with a mix of lasercut mdf, brownboard and resin (roof and base).
The walls need a highlight of brighter red, and the doors need some weathering, but here it is.

Love your work on the building :-* :-* It had been on my radar but your painting convinced me that I will need to buy one.

These look so great  :o :o

I am quite happy to see these pictures and your comments. A friend and I have an eye on these for some time now, but still have no idea where to get them in Europe  :(
Postage and customs (money and time) did prevent us from ordering in the US directly.

Yeah it cost a bit to buy these. I figured I would buy a full army (+ building), to avoid being hit with big postage multiple times. As far as I know Joe makes and sells them from his home town, without a distributor.
Thanks for the positive comments. I need to get back to painting the rest of them.

OK, its been a while since I updated this. I got tied up on other projects, but the Christmas holidays freed me up to finish painting the whole army (2 Divisions of a Hail Caesar Army)


I painted it up as a Warring States Hann army, but also plan to use it as a later Han Dynasty force. Despite some differences in armour design I was pleased to see the cavalry in Red Cliff had the same helmet designs as the Qin terracotta army. So it is a slightly fantasy Han army.

They look very stunning, and slightly elegant for some reason.

Great stuff, that range looks beautiful and your paintjobs are icing on the cake.  :-*

I think its the digital sculpting, they are more realistically proportioned!
