Speed Painting Imperial Japanese Infantry - How I Paint Things

  • By the time Allied forces would clash with the Imperial Japanese Army, they were facing a tough, determined foe that were in many cases already combat veterans. Outgunned, their equipment outclassed as the war dragged on, but never outfought: The Japanese soldier would do his duty to the last. READ MORE:

    Though supply shortages and coordination would hamstring the IJA during the Pacific campaign, at the scale most of our tabletop games take place at these are distant concerns; the Japanese infantryman is a fierce, capable and experienced opponent. Possessed of a code of honour and faith in the Emperor that was almost alien to the US Army, Marines and other soldiers of the Allied nations that did battle against them, the Japanese soldier fought a tenacious battle against burgeoning superpowers. They were capable attackers during their invasion of China in 1937, and as the war ground on, every scrap of ground the Allies took was bitterly defended.

    For those thinking of getting anything from Warlord they have temporarily reduced the "free shipping" threshold to £25/$40.

    I like using slightly different colors for uniforms even in the same unit. Gives them that "lived in" look.

      I've also had suggestion to use Yellow Ochre from someone, which I imagine would look quite bright - maybe good as a faded variation on a theme. But yeah, 'uniform' isn't! Good mindset to have. :D

    This is a superb tutorial with fantastic results. I'm building a diorama of the battle of Guadalcanal at the moment and trying to get the perfect scheme for a densely packed Banzai charge, this video has given me some great tips, great work my friend - subscribed.

    I would use Japanese uniform color for officers and soft caps...also for the puttees, English uniform is pretty good color wise, and gives a bit of variation to the overall uniform look.

    Your guide is awesome! I purchased a paint guide from Warlords itself, and tried to come up with some colors that the store I went to didn't have, and was disappointed at my results. Your attention to detail, and overall presentation of how to paint these helps me understand and have more confidence moving forward. Do you have a recommendation on the colors for Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF)? Also, what brushes were you using (not the makeup brush lol)? They look like they apply the paint smoothly.

      When it comes to the Pacific theater, I think things look better if they're a bit grimy and rough - suits the period and makes things feel a little more lived-in!

      I don't, more often than not. If I'm looking to make a leader stand out at the head of an army that'll go on a display shelf when I'm not playing I might bother with the eyes, but for your stock infantry you'll never see them!
