I would suggest any of the following: Aliens, Zombies, modern survivors as scavver types or some more Marines as 'not' Wetland mercs :)
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Hello Womble67

Sounds great. Enemies depends on what sort of battle you want to fight. If you're looking for a technological type fight maybe use the old Sci-Fi range as humanoid enemies. If you're looking at hordes of natives at a lower level of technology how about a mix of the Sudanese and Afghan ranges - maybe with blue skin  :). Or even some of the Fantasy ranges? Samurai Apes, Dwarves,....? Use some of the plastic animals/dinosaurs that come in tubes as enemies or gun platforms.

Might I recommend this model though:-

Paints up much better than the basic kit above. Great to either use as air support or as an objective in a "Blackhawk down" scenario.

Cheers, have fun.

Thanks very much Grumpy I've ordered 3 this morning.

Ok I've  decided to use the old Sci-Fi range again

SF15x Colonist in space suit
SF16x Colonist in space suits with heavy weapons.

So could anyone suggest some transport for them for air support I'll use a Eagle from space 1999

Also could you suggest two factions names

I was hoping for maybe some kind of moon buggy or similar looking thing to look in keeping with the space 1999 Eagle
