Perry Joseon Armored Spearmen With Shields

Painted their shields to complete these figures. These are the last from the most-recent Perry order of Korean and Samurai figures. 

The figures themselves were painted a few days ago. The lion heads on the shields were painted similarly to the ones on the earlier round shields carried by swordsmen.
They remind me of Persian Immortals by the way they're armed and armored.
Not sure how they'll be deployed in a game - maybe as bodyguards for commanders, or for separate artillery.
Still awaiting a few TAG Song cavalry, but will attempt to scratch-build some Japaneses fortress/wajo stone walls next. Thanks for stopping by and hope you all are doing well and enjoying the weather.

      Thanks, Neil! It's great that the shields have sculpted patterns to ease the painting. Kindest regards, Dean

      Thank you very much, Kevin! Yes, the colors are very bright (gaudy), but much like the colors they trim their temples and gates with. Best regards, Dean
