Not to steal thunder from Pendraken, but there is a company making 1/144th scale Korean War figures and vehicles:

http://www.pithead-miniatures.tk/ (http://www.pithead-miniatures.tk/)

You have to download their catalog to see the listing.

And there is a gaming forum on the Korean War:

EDIT: Catalogue list removed.

Not had the best of experiences with Pithead but they do have some very nice vehicles - not so struck by their infantry.

Agree with the poor level of sculpts in infantry.  The extensive range of WW2 soft skins is useful. 

One pertinent question.  Apart from the recycled WW2 kit, are any dedicated Korean figures/vehicles  available ?  The range might be on the 'order page' and has been for some time, but I never saw any fanfare for the launch of a new range or figures.   

They have never been 'in the pipeline' - do they exist at all ?

What specific kit would be missing?  Pithead has a Centurion, but not certain if anything else not already covered by WWII is needed.

Yes, the infantry is pretty weak...but he does have winter Brits, Yanks, and Chinese!

Just a quick note, we've always allowed mentioning other companies here on the Forum, but I've removed the catalogue listing from the post.  I've left the link in, so folks can go and investigate further if they want to.

As far as our own Korean range, there's still no definite timescales for that yet.  Once we're a bit closer to completing the Warband figures, me and Dave will sit down and work out what post-war and modern ranges we want to cover, and what order to do them in.  We may come looking for some Forum input on that as well!

Does he ? They may be on the order list but have never been seen or featured on "What's new" or the catalogue.

Have they even been sculpted yet?

I believe we are at a point where this link should be split and moved to the Non -Pendraken section.

While I applaud Pendrakens, pragmatism and generosity in allowing discussion of other manufacturers on their company forum.  I feel this link is pushing the limits.

Normally with stuff like this its best to take it off forum and send the relevant person a PM.

I second the motion - split the thread and move to non-Pendraken
