The Range is Hot! Please see page 13 for quick straw poll.

I will see what I can dig up...Would also like to see modern Indian troops too.

Sounds good to me - just make sure to include a KPA head sprue with the giant saucer hats.

Also, at a pinch, the South Koreans could be used as Indians as the K2 looks kinda like the INSAS. The K3 and the INSAS lmg are different. India is also a possible future range, but obviously not an initial range, based on the little interest in them as shown here.

Of course. Still looking into a renewed hostilities between the two Koreas. It will allow me to use my Chines and modern US figs in a simi plausible manner.

Def North and South Koreans or some Taiwanese

Right now, I am leaning towards KPA and ROKA. I've been looking at pictures of KPA uniforms and ROKA uniforms and I feel that they could both be relatively versatile if separate heads were provided. The KPA could double as the generic army with Chicom webbing and AKMs while the South Koreans, if digitally sculpted, could be used as the base for a generic 1st/2nd world army. The basic uniforms and poses could be kept and the equipment swapped out. All it would take to repurpose the KPA is to make separate heads.

If anyone has pictures of the KPA or ROKA that would provide good evidence to support or refute this idea, please put them here, as long as they don't violate forum rules. Mainly I'm looking for KPA wearing somewhat BDU styled uniforms or Chicom rigs and ROKA wearing their most common gear. They seem to wear all manner of gear. I've seen pictures of them wearing modern ballistic vests with molle gear, PASGT vests with 1990's era LBE, and no vest. My assumption is that the front line forces wear the best gear while the reserve forces wear the older stuff, but I honestly have no idea.

Let me know what you guys think.

Some pictures of standard North Korean infantry.

I was a little sick in my mouth there seeing how outdated all that NK gear is. Damn. 0.0

Chrome plated AK with camo's always a good choice too.

Ok folks, at Gunnar's (arget8) request, a poll has been added for this topic.

It is restricted to a single choice out of four, but with the option of changing your vote should you wish.

Blingtastic! He obviously has a second job, moonlighting as a Mexican drug lord.

[Arlequín]

Most 1st Sergeants like to display some degree of individuality... I guess they would frown upon a 'Smokie the Bear' hat... clearly he's looking out of shot at the Master-Chief's gold-plated version.

With the camo, you'd just assume someone had dropped a chrome-plated AK until he opened fire.

Those North Korean's look like "just after WW2 up to mid-1980s" Russian uniforms with AK47s.

I am sure that they would be good for various Cold War Scenarios and could double as any Warpac infantry from those times.

[commissarmoody]

Honestly from looking at those pics. The north Korean uniform seems to be a throw back to the cold war, as stated above. Kind of interesting that the style has not updated in  the hermit kingdom at all.
I mean there are a few in cammo here and there but it doesn't seem to be a priority. Or they just save these uniforms for photo ops. :p

[88D]

From what I have read the standard soldiers in north korea are barely fed anymore and resort to stealing from the populace, so it would be incredibly doubtful that 95% would get any updated uniforms or equipment seeing as they are basically there to keep the population under control for the "dear leader".

In all honesty, I think that the vast majority of the North Koreans wear the same style uniforms and carry the same weapons that they did forty years ago. Most likely only elite units will wear more modern uniforms like BDU's. 1950's-1970's Soviets or Chinese would be a decent substitute.

Some recentish videos from north korea showing their "modern" uniforms and equipment.
