My 15mm Modern North Korean Forces Part 1.....

.........or has Kim Jung-Un set his eyes on Franonia?

These North Korean forces whilst not exactly accurate are close enough to represent some North Korean armoured forces, we have 10 Peter Pig T-55's, 4 Btr-60's (including a command), a ZSU-23-4, 2 Gaz-469's and an old Mercedes for a leader or commander.

I have the infantry from Khurasan painted and hope to add the support weapons this year when they're released, I asked about a command group but I don't think this will happen.









,,,,,,,infantry to come!

    1. LOL. The propaganda truck is brilliant! Course you could build a small diorama of 15mm troops marching in line for the quarterly "look how high we lift our legs parade". Great minis Fran!

    1. I keep asking him the same question about that blue and he says he's forgotten. He's keeping that secret to himself for some reason.

  14. At first glance I thought the black one was a mobile phone, just wanting some camera time.

  19. Nice work, General. And I see you were able to keep D. Rodman out of the pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Impressive force to fight those imperialist pig-dogs. It defo needs a section of Harlem Globetrotters led by the fearless Rodman.

    Righto, I'm just off to take my medication.

  21. I always thought Fraonia was more desert than the colour scheme seems to indicate. It is an impressive force though. I do wonder what the surrounding countries might be, Leetopia, Postieabad, Izzygrad!

  27. Spot on Fran. They have come up a real treat Comrade.

    No oxen recovery vehicles spotted though?

  28. All ready to parade for Dear Leader's birthday.

  29. As I said on Curts page... great work and I really wish someone did North Koreans in 28mm!!!

    Now you should also paint them some T-34´s as the North Koreans still use those, too!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Lovely bit of kit there Fran, any plans in the pipeline for a game with them?

    ReplyDelete
  37. These are so awesome, expect a call from Kim Jong Un any day now. I have a feeling you just became Chief of North Korean military operations.

    ReplyDelete
