I'm really looking forward to trying these lads out against both Chinese and Western opponents.

If you are interested there is more on my blog at withob.blogspot.co.uk

A great looking force.

Thank you lads. You can see a few of the Falcon figures in the pics the rest are Irregular. The flags are all from TVAG and I do like them. I have used different flags for the Imps.

How do you get hold of stuff from The Falcon?
As I don't live in the USA they have quite a high postage rate.

Years ago via here through Rudy Nelson who iirc picked them up from Kai at a convention. It does not seem possible to buy them direct from Falcon. They are nice figures but most of them are quite big for 15mm.

Very nice.

What flags are you using for the Imperials, since TVAG doesn't have a complimentary flag set for them.

Hey Eric -lovely stuff ,- I'll be using Field of Battle.

Oh Bugger14 Jun 2016 3:53 p.m. PST

Eric, What flags for the Imps?

Pretty much lifts from the flags of the the Peking National Opera. They look grand and have good dragons. Also I stretched some of the Grimsby flags posted here on previous threads to make triangular flags.

Your blog was a source of inspiration to me.

I'll post a pic soon(ish).

Mashrewba its a game waiting to happen.

I have large 15mm armies of the Taipings and Imps, almost all of them are Falcons. I was lucky and bought them back one year when Kai was at Historicon.

Yours look great! And lovely flags, one thing I do not have sadly.

Oh Bugger17 Jun 2016 4:51 a.m. PST

Thanks, yeah I consider myself lucky too getting those Falcon figures. I have never seen any on ebay.

You could get Tai Ping flags from TVAG.
