Do you have a particular date in mind? I have good raisin to believe that someone has already done this on this forum ... We may need to prune the threads to find it.

The T55 and Panhard, as well as landrovers. Figures - Brits in Berets, and for earlier stuff some WWII figures will pass.

The date... mainly from 1980 to the present. Avoiding guys with turban, any insurgent I wthink that could be interesting...
Thanks Ian!, good idea

Gentlemen of the Forum!

One pace forward the Gentleman who has done some really nifty post war African stuff. Don't be shy! We (the bushbabies in the Pendraken bush) need to help young Slurm.


Lovely boys! - FSN

Thanks for your answers.
And yes jchaos I am Slorm from La Armada
I think that these: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/FLB10-p6512/ could be work for proffesional mercenary and these http://www.pendraken.co.uk/FLB4-p6506/

These  http://www.pendraken.co.uk/FLB21-p6548/ for UN troops...

And these http://www.pendraken.co.uk/FLA2-p6564/ for government army?

Only needed some unproffesional militia... any idea?

I was referring to the Falklands stuff. Mind you since Phil aint doing nothing.......

The Australians from the Vietnam range would give guys in bush hats rather than helmets. Not sure if they'd be any use.

[Slorm]

Yes Ithorel, you are right they could be mercenaries, or regulars. I didn't say nothing because there are no photos
Thanks

Perfect, so summarizing:
- Government Troops: Falkland's Argentinians, troops with helmet and military wearing.
- Invader professional army troops: Vietnam Australian, all with bush hat.
- UN Troops: British from Falkland's range helmet.
- Elite troops (any side): British from Falkland's range beret.
- Militia and armed civilians: Missed! Any idea?

Thanks for your help and answers, all this is very useful!

For milita have a look in the SCW and WWII ranges.

I have painted up VC to resemble militia. Add a few bush hat Aussies from WW2 and the US Marines bazooka team.
The commando figures are also usable.
