Empire of Japan

NB: THIS IS A PREORDER PRODUCT AND RELEASES IN LATE NOVEMBER Strike from the shadows! The Empire of Japan uses the power of stealth, the capability to phase through solid objects, and fanatical devotion to their cause to launch co-ordinated close-quarters attacks before fading away just as quickly as they had appeared. This starter army is the perfect way to start your Empire of Japan collection for Konflikt ’47, arming you with an array of units, complete with Order and Rift Dice. At the core of the starter army is an Assault Platoon. Led by an LMG-armed Platoon Commander in heavy powered armour (sculpt exclusive to this set), the platoon is anchored by a unit of Assault-Frame armoured infantry and a Ghost Attack Squad, capable of redeploying anywhere on the battlefield by exhausting a Rift Die, and bringing their Shiboru rifles to bear on an unsuspecting target! A Sasori Light Walker lends its support at the head of an Armoured Platoon, supplemented by a Chi-Ha tank that has been reequipped with a Shiboru Cannon of its own. The combined weight of all the Crush weapons available across both platoons should give any tabletop foe cause for concern.

While the Army has been slow in introducing assault rifles into its inventory, the Empire has surprised the world by being the first faction to supply mass-produced Rift weapons to its rank-and-file troops. Exploiting Axis technical and theoretical advances, Japanese scientists and engineers have created the Type 10 Shiboru rifle also known as the Compression gun. So-called Type ‘A’ squads are beginning to field this weapon in large numbers. This gives Japanese infantry a significant longer-range punch, giving their officers new options beyond the traditional tactic of closing in to close assault the opponent. Contains twelve plastic infantry with metal arms and weapons.
