From TomS: some 28mm Korean Handgunners [new Acquisition] (50 points)

 Hi again!

In a change from last weeks flamboyant Marder, I am back to painting some more "normal" models. This week I am presenting 6 Korean hand-gunners, from Perry Miniatures for Lion Rampant. 

My local wargaming club for the last two years has run a Lion Rampant competition around Christmas and, after winning the first and coming second this year, I though I would finally build up an army or two for the next game. Now, if my Marder didn't clue people in, I'm not exactly drawn to "conventional armies" being somewhat infamous among my group for always bringing something wacky like the Regiment Etrangers to Napoleonic games or some Khmer to an ancient/dark ages game. So whilst Lion Rampant is a rules set for Europe, the middle east and north Africa the units are all relatively the same between each army with no factional differences, therefore naturally I started building a Korean and Japanese force for the Mongol Invasions of Tsushima in 1274! 

                   Some brightly coloured Dujeong-gaps? (I am no armour expert)

With the first invasion being in November I thought I would try something new with an autumnal/early winter basing theme with dead leaves and snow!

 

PS. the basing material only arrived this morning, so a bit of a rush to get them in on time whilst working with new materials, so hopefully they look okay!

So points claimed:

6x28mm Infantry - 30pts 

New Acquisitions  - 20pts
Total - 50pts

TeemuL: Thinking outside of box is a good talent and I have used that from time to time and caused people to shake their heads... Very nice Koreans, those colourful armours are good looking and joy to paint. 50 points to your tally!
