I am looking for Korean War in 28

[commissarmoody]

I would be interested to see what Reiver Castings puts out. One of the problems with the other ranges is they only put out one or two sets. Leavening ever thing else to be sourced else where.

Judging by their other ranges, the answer is likely to be ‘vaguely anthropomorphic fishing weights’.

Expensive and not 100% accurate but between Warlords plastic Russians and their Japanese, you could probably knock up some fairly acceptable proxies for the Chinese. A bit of greenstuff and carving and winter North Koreans should be possible from the Russians alone.

I acquired a force of Chinese which were converted from Artisan Designs, Crusader Miniatures and Black Tree Designs WW2 Soviets in padded jackets and fur caps. Some green stuff on the hands to make gloves.

One of our number commissioned some N Korean figures under the name of Adarga.

Man, I would love to get ahold of these.

I worked up a small "Korea" army for Chain of Command. I used Warlord's US Army in Winter and their M4A3E8 for the USA and the 1st Corps for Chinese troops. I've seen photos of those Adarga Koreans, but they aren't for sale...

It took a few years but it looks like warlord games finally pulled the trigger on a Korean war range.
Looks like North Koreans, Chinese Volenteers, Common Wealth Centerian and the cast of MASH.

Sorry it Wouldn't let me post the rest of the photos earlier.

The Chinese infantry look plastic, but what else is? Their Maxim Gun for instance appears to be new production judging by its water jacket.

I'd guess that the Centurion would be plastic. The BTR-40 as well. They'd have to be at least if they want to edge out the existing 1/56th miniatures already available. I can't see Warlord's quality being better than Die Waffenkammer's BTR-40 for instance. Though Warlord seem to make do with customers buying their products as they play Bolt Action, otherwise folks would just go to Die Waffenkammer for anything the two companies produce in my opinion.

(A pity there's no 1/50th BTR-40s out there. Nowadays the response to that gripe's "just 3D print one" however. At least Company B is producing 1/56th Vietnam vehicles to bulk out that range (which has crossover with the Korean War to an extent obviously), but its a bit annoying that a few companies are now producing Vietnam lines, but are working with different vehicle scales )

I know, but it's a start at least. So I'll support it tell Empress.... I mean any one else makes a better set of North Koreans and Chinese. I mean hell they can also be used for Chinese Civilwar so that's also a win.

We'll see how this pans out and if they start to produce more post-war stuff. Ideally the next area would be the Arab-Israeli wars if they want to re-use their existing WWII stuff.

Though yes, that Warlord's such a large presence in this sector and is now producing post-war vehicles isn't always ideal. They're hitting the modern market which errs towards another scale, which perhaps may cause a conflict in future. We'll see just as many models produced, but companies may be conflicted on which scale to go for. Though that'll leave it up to customers to produce their own figures. ...Its just a tad annoying that there's two 28mm scales and products are available for one and not the other.

We'll see how things go with Empress. They don't have the same sort of vehicle release schedule as Warlord does, and may want to cover other areas given they're working on Vietnam. War Banner I believe mentioned doing Vietnam as well, but I've no idea what their new schedule will be like now that SASM are with them. ...I just wouldn't mind seeing a 1/50th BTR-40 for the sake of Vietnam and modern games (those things turn up all over).

 I'm reasonably sure that the Centurion's the resin ex-FOA one (saw it at Salute yesterday & have one of my own) & sadly not a plastic one (though it's still a good kit, the JTFM one is better, particularly with regards to the tracks).

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I saw them, but did not get a chance to ask about them. Is the consensus that the Chinese are plastic?

[Wyrmalla]

Visually the Chinese have the same sculpting style as their other plastics. They also re-use parts from the Soviet set - i.e. their hats. If they aren't plastic then their sculpter's cutting corners and having plastic parts recast in metal.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Has any one done a head count on how many figures they have on display?
I just wondered if it would be about the contents of a box set?

[Suetonius Paullinus]

There will unfortunately NO plastics for Korean War. All metal. I’ve asked.
The displayed USMC were converted plastics. Winter Marines will be metal same as the North Koreans/ Chinese.
