Myth and Majesty of the State Empire

There is a striking, authoritarian elegance to Yu Jing’s Imperial Service that always makes them a joy to bring to the painting desk. As the judicial and security arm of the StateEmpire, their presence on the tabletop needs to feel both oppressive and deeply rooted in historical prestige. For this force, my goal was to step away from standard sci-fi tropes and lean into a scheme that recalls traditional Chinese aesthetics instead of the more militaristic presence of the Invincible Army. The foundation of the entire army rests on a terracotta color for t…

Imperial Tag Police

Last year I participated in a promotion campaign for Corvus Belli, for the launch of the new Imperial Service Sectorial for Yujing. This new army focuses on a faction of policemen of the empire controlling dissenters and investigating insurrection in the ranks. When they came, CB sent me their TAG as model to show to my viewers but I didn't have the rest of the army, so I grabbed some old models for the faction that were going out of print and could get my hands on for some small cash.  The Celestial Guard were my test models to get the color sche…

Snowy Invincibles

Keeping up with my White Banner army, I decided to at last buy me a box of Shang-ji. I was using an old Hsien as a Shang-ji stand in while I tested the army but I have now decided that this is an army I want to invest in as my main Yujing sectorial. Shang-ji are supposed to be the cream of the crop among the invincibles, so I added gold to their color scheme to denote their rank. White panels were also used to blend in with my existing White Banner forces. I also bought a spare sniper Guilang as I've been using Guilangs quite extensively on button p…
