From TamsinP: 15mm Choson Korean Missile Troops (196 points)

Tamsin's got her painting mojo back!

From Tamsin:

"Cor blimey guv'nor! If she ain't gone 'n finished another army!"

Yes, these 98 figures complete my Choson Korean army for FoG:AM and FoG:R. Well, for now at least - I may opt to add some more bits later on.

There are 80 arquebusiers and 18 crossbowmen in this submission. The arquebusiers and 16 crossbowmen are by Grumpy (available in the UK from East Riding Miniatures or from Eureka elsewhere), the other 2 figures are from Old Glory 15s left over from my previous units.

72 of the arquebusiers are based as medium foot for FoG:R, the other 8 are based as light foot for use in both FoGs. The crossbowmen are based as medium foot for FoG:AM.

Pretty inspiring stuff Tamsin - that is a load of missile troops - great work! With these tucked away what's next on the painting queue?

These 98 figures will give Tamsin a very impressive 196 points, putting her well within sight of the front-runners. Well done!

From FranL: 15mm Modern North Korean Infantry, Armour and 28mm Non-Combatant

This is a classic Francis entry: a shed-load of 15mm with a few outlier morsels thrown in for seasoning.

From Fran:

The pictures were hastily taken after clearing a shelf of Christmas ornaments in the front room!

Here are fourty-nine 15mm  modern North Korean infantry from Khurasan Miniatures (picked these up when they came out earlier this year), this challenge will be mainly 15mm modern with a few 28mm thrown in here and there.

You also see a 15mm North Korean Armoured force consisting of 10 T-55's (a full company), 4 BTR-60's (including the command variant), a ZSU-23-4, 2 Gaz jeeps and a Mercedes for the General, the command tanks all have crew figures (7). I have started basing all my 15mm vehicles...I think it protects them but also highlights them?

Some Rayonian vehicles were sacrificed and repainted to add to the Korean forces and one Korean vehicle was omitted as it will be used as a challenge entry.

This is it apart from support weapons Khurasan will release next year, maybe Red Dawn 2?

....the 28mm female from Copplestone Casting is the non-combatant entry.

Whoa, like I said, that is a shed-load of minis! Interesting project Fran. Who will be the opposing force for this? South Koreans and Americans I presume? I'm looking forward to seeing how this all develops.

Too bad you were late with the fine Copplestone lady as I can only give you 5 points for her. Otherwise, she along with the North Koreans will give you a very tidy 218 points. Very impressive work all the same Francis!

From MarkB: Ronin #25 and Korean Swordsman (25 points)

Mark took a unique approach to the Challenge Ronin which I think is quite creative.

From Mark:

So I have the Samurai for you, he is a 28mm Perry Samurai casualty!  With the casualty is a victorious Choson (Korean) Heavy Infantry figure.  So why did I do this?  Well my wife is from Korea and she has a pretty strict no Japanese policy and so I figured I would keep her happy and paint a victorious Korean over an injured or dead Japanese Samurai.  The Koreans and Japanese do not have a very good history of being nice to each other.  

The Korean Heavy Infantry figure is also a Perry miniature and is the first of there miniatures that I have ever painted. They are very good and have a lot of detail with little to no flash.

Excellent stuff Mark, you've done a wonderful job on these two - Thanks very much! 

Poor Ronin #25 and the victorious Korean will give Mark 25 points.
