No plastics for the Chinese/North Koreans is a major disappointment.

Shame about no plastics, but not hugely unexpected. Maybe if it sells well? At least being Warlord the metal boxes shouldn't be hugely expensive.

I had just assumed that they would be plastic. Not complaining about them being metal. Seen to have enough variations to not be to big an issue.

Tis a pity that the Mao caps look nothing like Mao caps, still nothing a pair of snips and some green stuff can’t fix. Not surprised, so only vaguely disappointed they aren’t plastic. This was always going to be a niche market and I doubt they could justify the tooling costs. Would gave made them useful for other projects beyond Korea but hey, ho.

Be interesting to see the faces to see which way they have gone. Casually  racist caricature, gurning cartoon character or perhaps a mix of the two?

I am wondering if that winter Marine is a 3up. Or just larger then that protector of communism next to him.  lol

Just noticed in the back of the photo of the Centurion that it appears they have done some Korean era Brits in JG and bush hats. Useful for other stuff like Mau Mau and Malaya (bit of conversion required). If the sculpts aren't too hideous, then they might come in useful. I can shelve my plans to convert Artizan Aussies to mutineering Tanzanians.

1964, The Dar Mutiny. The two battalions of the Tanganyika Rifles (virtually the entirety of newly founded Tanzanian Army)mutinied, detaining a number of the British contract officers on strength. A Royal Marine battalion was landed by choppers and crushed the revolt. Allegedly, due to a monumental fuck up, only blank and practice ammo was issued. The Royals commandeered some civvy vehicles and lobbed a practice round from a 3.5” rocket launcher into the garrison guardhouse, which dislodged a few tiles and panicked the mutineers into surrender. Actually there was a bit more fighting than that.

Busy year for Britain, Aden and Borneo aside. There was another British intervention in Kenya the same year over a pay mutiny and Britain almost and should have intervened in Zanzibar where a terrible massacre of the Arab population took place.

I like the look of them. Can't seem to find them on the Warlord site though.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Hey nice, I saw the marine on another thread here! So it is a figure for the Korean War range!  ;D

Nice, the metal problem isn't too bad. Warlord's metals are characterful and easy to customize, though, as others, I hope there will be some plastics in the distant future for conversions and such!  :D

Vehicles wise I'll keep my eyes open and wait as most others do!
