Black Watch Miniatures and Hagen Miniatures are the more peripheral 1/72 companies, still making metal figures to this day. They can be considered to be traditionalists; which would be valued in Korean and East Asian culture in general. In this instalment of my Imjin War series, we look at their niches of niches: Joseon Heavy Infantry and discuss their historical context - seeing how useful they are for the Joseon wargamer and the quality of the sculpts themselves. Given how both the subject matter AND the mini companies are niche, I think it's quite fitting. It's like they're made for each other. Now kiss!
I must say, it was very difficult to research Joseon military history. The information here was hard-won. One thing to note is that the Joseon period itself is vast, and the military alters during the Imjin war; it is a catalyst for reformation and early Joseon and late Joseon are quite different. Some English sources mistakenly apply late Joseon military information to the early period and vice versa; finding what is correct requires a critical eye when reading anything. Here we are at mid Joseon, the inflection point to change the destiny of the country. Just like how these metal minis will change yours. Dramatic, I know.
