From MilesR: 28mm WWII Japanese Infantry (30 points)


Just as last year, Miles chips in with one of the first submissions for the Challenge (good lad). Today we see a detachment of six WWII Japanese infantry.


From Miles: 
Well it's the 20th and the sporting world now turns it's eyes to the 3rd Annual Painting Challenge! I added up the individual score level targets and it's roughly 42,675 (I may be off a bit as I just did it in my head - I'm a numbers geek) - that represents 8,535 painted 28mm infantry figures and 910 per ronin!
Ok, Enough with me proving that I'm a multidimensional geek.
Here's my first entry, 6 28mm WWII Japanese infantry from Battle Honors. Think of them as second cousins to your Samurai.

Excellent work Miles (and those are some frightening numbers)! This group will give you 30 points to start your climb on the roster. (Well, I was in first place for at least a few hours...) ;)

  1. Your not wasting any time are you Miles! The flesh base coat isn't even dry on my first unit!
    Nice work btw and cool troops as I think the Japanese really are nice to paint.

  5. Really fast, Miles. I have some of those same Japanese in the workbench... but I have a lot of work to finish them!

    Perhaps we need to look for another ninja...

    Cheers!!!

  10. In my line of work the world shuts down for the holidays so I go an early (12:05am start on painting).

    Given last year's output my only chance for fame was to grab an early lead before fading into the middle of the pack and ignominious anonymity.

    Plus, if the Mayan's are right, I might actually be the winner this year!

    Cheers,
