"Khurasan previews 15mm Modern North Koreans" Topic

Well, modern being a relative term. Current is what I mean ….

It's two poses with the RPG-7/Type 69, six poses of Type 68 assault rifles (the local designation of the AKM), two poses with the RPK, one pose with the Type 73 LMG (a more or less indigenous design) and a squad leader with a Baek Du San pistol (clone of cz 75).

That's a full strength squad in composition and kit out.

As you can see the officer has the soft hat on -- he will get a helmet swap, and all the helmeted poses will get a soft hat swap, so there will be two sets, one in helmets, one in hats. There will be just a few tweaks to these but they are more or less in final form. No plans for female border guards in high heels … yet!

The Ch'onma-ho (the North Korean MBT, a modifed copy of the T-62) will be released a bit further down the line, maybe three months or so. If these take off I'll definitely make more, higher level infantry types (MGs and heavy AT elements, etc), maybe even the Dear Leader himself with some of those bemedaled generals he always seems to hang out with!

We can laugh it up but as the Korean War proved, these fellows mean business and are not infantry opponents to be taken lightly.

Sculpted by the Dear Leader of 15mm himself, Mike Broadbent. I know I have his portrait in every room of my home! Stay tuned for updates, hope to have them available in the summer.

Oh man I am sold. When can we place orders?

Dennis
ps you guys made my day

Great idea. Someone needed to make these, and I'm glad it was you!

Good stuff, and can't wait to see it all come together!

Thanks Harold -- will probably convert them into Soviet infantry of the mid to late Cold War era as well. It's an easy conversion. The trousers need to be tucked into boots, and some kit is different, but they're mostly there already.

Excellent!

Nice, current works for me

Sweet!

Awesome! I love when contemporary boogeyman minis become available!

Norkers are interesting, but Soviets even moreso!

Damon.

Wow! Where did those come from!?

Ripped from today's headlines?

Yes, on the leaders, and their entourage too please.

Would love to see one each of the three most recent leaders, but then again, perhaps they look so much alike in miniature that one will suffice.

I too need a photo of Mike Broadbent in every room of my house!

Been alot of teasing coming from this company of late. We need order dates!

Nice. But where's lil kim?

Ooh, nice.

What the hell happened to the elite chicks in high heels? Dammit man, how can you field NKs without their ultimate weapons?

These guys need bull-horned not-gojiras as heavy support, not tanks.

"Dear Leader, other than my desire to needlessly crush things, my only wish is to serve you and the cleanest race!"

Need high heels.

Beautiful ! Can we get some heavy weapons like PKMs and mortars too?

They look pretty glum -- feet probably hurt, poor dears.

So, these are the ones who should be invading and occupying us soon?

PS. The little guy in the background does look familiar:

Is anyone working on writing a current version of something like this?

Either for Korea or China?

To quote your president Abraham Lincoln in the 1830s:

From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia…could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.

@pr, I feel a nail has been stuck upon it's head.

Dennis, would love to! Expansion of the line will really depend on response.

Ah the good ol' NorKors… I'd love to see the time spent making some North Korea equipment, especially the tanks and the more unique platforms like their Gatling-gun carrying anti-aircraft tanks.

Of course, doing all this means you simply have to make the Chinese as well… and you can't have the Chinese without talking about the Russians… and the Russians still sell stuff to the Syrians… and Iran supports them…

;)

Erm, wouldn't one need South Koreans? Chinese not so much. China will neither be coming to the aid of, nor invading, North Korea.

Hehee. Seem to remember Doug MacArthur making the same call once before…you go Porfiro Rubirosa!

Well, to be fair, the world is a very different place today than it was 63 years ago!

I have to agree that Americans (which I already make) and South Koreans (no immediate plans) are the likely opponents.

I'm in John. Maybe not immediately, but later in the summer. I have to get your US troops first.

Any news for them? I really need to buy them. I already have tank and apc painted and wait for grunts ;)

They needed a bit more work but now are at the casters and I hope they will get to them right after historicon.

I'll also be making the Chonma-ho (modified T-62) and the BTR-60 clone for the NKs….

Congrats on taking the initiative on this. A cool line.

Looking forward to seeing company heavy weapons (if sales go well).

Any plans to make HS kids for them to fight?

I've actually got a commission being worked on now for

1) four modern teenagers, armed (boy with shotgun, boy with pistol, girl with bow, girl with hunting rifle)

2) four unsanctioned-alien hunters, two male and two female, in trench coats and body armour

3) two bailed out mecha or fighter pilots, one male and one female

Should be sculpted within a few weeks. On the teens, they are being made to be about five foot two or three, so up to about the chin of most 15s. At least, that's the plan! We'll see how they come out. (If they are popular I'll make more, as planned for the scientist set and the sci fi civilian set.)

Oooo, can't wait for those teens! Got a lot planned for them.

Dan

The funny thing in recent Red Dawn is that in original script America was invaded by China, but during the filming all Chinese flags were digitally changed to North Korean. So now teens fight North Korean soldiers in Chinese uniform :) ;) ;0

And here are North Korean MBT and APC in await for Khurasan North Korean infantry. The funny thing, I painted s squad of Koreans using Peter Pig soviets, but when I saw that Khurasan are making proper north Koreans, I repainted mine in Soviets :)

I think that in their pillbox hats they'll make fine Arstotzkans (from the computer game papers, Please):

Those teens and civilians sound like an easy sell.

Wolverines!
