Chinese People's Liberation Army source books

My two primary source books on the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Crooked Dice HMMWV/Brave Warrior

I have painted the Crooked Dice HMMWV as a Chinese PLA Mengshi 4x4.

 Decals are from the Rubicon Soviet sheet (I have not painted the 8-1 text on the star).

An Empress PLA infantryman for scale.

Salute 2018 - Crooked Dice part one

Crooked Dice have taken on the Pardulon range in anticipation of their releasing a Post Apocalypse game later in the year.

They had examples of their new modular truck on their stand.

 There are a lot of components in the blister

 They also had a HMMWV,

It does appear rather small for a HMMWV, but not too small to be unusable,

William Killian (on a base) and an Empress PLA infantryman.

East Wind Warriors - PLA infantry

This is the first of the Chinese PLA soldiers.

He is dressed in Type 07 digicam uniform and armed with the QBZ-95 assault rifle.

The body armour has integral loops to take packs and pouches and an integral lifting handle to assist if he becomes a casualty.

East Wind Warriors - PLA infantry

Two squads of People's Liberation Army motorised infantry, awaiting their clone HMMWVs.

 Grenadier, rifleman, NCO, LMG and rifleman.

Grenadier, rifleman, rifleman, LSW and NCO.

Based on lipped Warlord Games bases.

People's Liberation Army - the prequel

Empress Miniatures have recently brought out a range of figures of ultramodern soldiers of the People's Liberation Army.

This is a Special Forces figure from set PLA8.

 Armed with a QBZ-95 bull pup rifle, he is directing the other members of his squad.

The base colour for the uniform is Vallejo German Field Grey. Boots are Vallejo German Black Brown.

 The camouflage pattern is based on the Type 99 pattern and is represented by Vallejo extra dark green, German black brown and Humbrol 90 (i.e. Humbrol undead flesh).

The body armour is Vallejo US Dark Green and the pouches are Russian camouflage green.

Lighter shades were used for dry brushing.

A wash of Citadel Athonian Camoshade brought the colours together.

The skin was painted with Citadel Kislev Flesh, washed with Citadel flesh shade
