Changun's Choson Korean Army - Farewell 2012

"The host thus forming a single united body, it is impossible either for the brave to advance alone, or for the cowardly to retreat alone. This is the art of handling large masses of men." - Sun Tzu.
And so 2012 comes to a close, not with a bang but a whimper. Here is the Choson Korean army built in honor of my beloved canine companion, Changun - who through a series of unfortunate events is no longer by my side here on this earth. The stand for the Army General includes a figure of him in miniature.
All of the figures are Perrys, with the exception of the Changun miniature and the allied "Ming" Chinese cavalry. The dog mini is a modified Black Cat Bases figure, and the Chinese are from The Assault Group - actually Song Chinese, but close enough.
I wish all of you well in the coming New Year and hope you all have a great time painting and gaming. Warmest Regards to you all.

    A wondrous horde of an army, and a fitting tribute to your lost canine companion.

    Absolutely Superb. Dean you have done an excellent job with these. And to echo Scott, it is indeed a fitting tribute to your beloved Changun.

    I enjoy the rocket launchers. A little cotton for effect would really give it that special touch. All looks good and we will look forward to a battle report, Hope you can still have a Happy New Year without your beloved dog.

    Hey Bro - howzit? Your Choson army is just awesome. Absolutely beautifully painted and based. The General and his dog honoring your late furry buddy is a terrific memorial to honor the little guy. Sorry I haven't commented earlier to wish you and yours all the best for a peaceful and prosperous New Year - only just got back into town! I'll look forward to more hobby goodness on the awesome WAB Cortner blog in 2013!

    Cheers,
    Doc
