As you can see, the North Korean regular army has undergone some modernisation, with more modern (if rough, Chinese-quality) tactical equipment that most airsofters might recognise and look down on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those wanting the older style of look, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/more-north-155853270\">the Peasant Worker militia<\/a> (seen in the right image) is wearing the Cold War era uniform. They will also be receiving some Soviet weapon systems to really sell the militia look, as well as the Type 58 rifle used predominantly by the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial pose also announces some future plans. We&#8217;ll be seeing some more elite North Korean forces (the Light Infantry and Special Forces)  and vehicles to support them. However, once they are done, we&#8217;ll be heading over the border to being an extensive Chinese PLA force. No further details, but the term used to describe the PLA range is &#8220;extensive&#8221;.

The Platoon tier gives you the core of an East German Mot. Shutzen platoon, with a HQ element, three squads with unique poses for everyone included, 12 unique heads with different headgear, kitbash items and all the free stretch goals. Going up to the next tier adds a trio of support weapons, the kind of equipment an infantry unit might expect to use in a platoon-level game. The All-In Tier adds all of the stretch goals (and oh boy, there are plenty), Blender files to allow customisation and even a unique figure only for the All-In Tier, giving you an East German soldier on traffic control duty. Finally, if you want EVERYTHING involved in this project, the Flank March and BobMack3d bundle includes the All-In Tier and several add-ons from friend-of-the-blog BobMack3d that are ideal for building an East German force, ranging from the high-tier T-72 and BMP-1 down to the BTR-50 and the venerable T-34\/85 (the STL for which was originally made by RKX). This highest tier weighs in at \u00a3190 BUT it includes a massive number of STLs to give you everything you might need for an East German force, including access to BobMack3d models for a saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that this project also lets you pick up Flank March&#8217;s previous Kickstarters as well &#8211; ideal if you want some OPFOR (or Allies) to your East Germans.

This is available to all backers and allows the end user to mix and match their own heads, swapping through the headgear, adding customisation elements and adjusting facial hair and expression.

As with all previous Flank March Miniatures Kickstarters, there is a mix of free addons (such as a medical figure or additional heads) and paid-for addons which add whole new elements (such as additional heavy weapons and teams). At the time of writing, we are already pretty far through the list, with elements such as the S-60 Anti-Aircraft gun, higher-level command elements and, of course, the eternally useful Combat Engineers, who bring with them ridiculous equipment (such as the Romanian AGI 3&#215;40 thermobaric launcher). The big thing with the stretch goals is that they provide parts for two additional East German forces &#8211; the elite Falschimjaeger Commandos and their unique equipment, such as headgear and light support weapons, and the Kampfgruppen Der Arbeiterklasse (KDA), who bring out the older equipment to protect the GDR. Seeing as the project is doing well, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if we see a few more stretch goals if the campaign continues as it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get your own East German force up and running, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/flankmarch\/bruderkrieg-1-cold-war-east-german-infantry?ref=creator_tab\">the Kickstarter is running until May 4th, and you can find it on the project page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pegasus Miniatures Previews The Det<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e320bc05236&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e320bc05236\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33537\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-11.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-11-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61584987884046\">Pegasus Miniatures<\/a>, fresh from their trip to London for Salute, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02xuSCY59ou77PbbQcCbVCpZB4srapddWht23wdRAE6m79pG3W8CG4TJLf5tXnpg8Gl&amp;id=61584987884046&amp;__cft__[0]=AZYV_2WPlfRL0YW3Vchq4JOWZCm2kcC7DsuBL0jWq_wceXdwHVLY06V55pMWt-PhKQ57Xa_PfxONHQ0eMLO3TjCWU-897rnnZdGYhyiQrdH2OgA8i1auoh3ilHPABjNFtdtCkzuRi1i58f_wWgpmR1jMAa7BvhLFzZAnOAJlYhsunw&amp;__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R\">shown off the next figure<\/a> from their upcoming range of figures for the Covert War in Ulster.

Next month&#8217;s terrain release is an industrial greenhouse, which of course means lots of glass. Usually, this would mean getting some acrylic and cutting pieces to fit the 3D-printed elements. However, it seems like Modern Minatures has been experimenting with transparent PLA and just printing them out instead. This is pretty impressive so far, but it&#8217;s far from the final approach, so we may see another take.
