Chinese Warlords: Dare to Die Squad

Just a short post post with my latest Chinese Warlord squad for our Back of Beyond games.  This is a "Dare to Die" Big Sword squad from Copplestone Castings. The casting quality was very good, with minimal clean up required.  Mine came with six body types with a few head variants, and luckily only one figure was a repeat. Overall I feel it's a decent variety. In the "Contemptible Little Armies" rules their morale rating is one of the best, so I'm hoping they will perform well. The only issue will be getting them across the table well enough intact to unleash their close combat assaults.

  2. Please stop it!

    I am trying not to look at my box of Chinese Copplestone figures as I now have a desperate urge to create a third army for BoB (and another armoured train!!!)

    Great painting!

  4. Thanks Everyone! Yes, I tried to avoid the siren's call of this army for a long time as well, but after realizing my WWI Indians had a home in BoB too, of course I needed a second army. 😀

  5. ...and they're really cheap in points terms, although you might want to bulk them out to a full eighteen figures in case they get shot to bits before they get into close combat?

  6. Yes, I am a bit worried about that. We'll see how they perform and then I'll start making adjustments to my units as I get some more experience with them.
