All,

Ever since I made the decision to plunge head first into my 'side project' in 15mm I've been staring at Eureka Miniatures (USA) website, obsessing over their Australians, Russians, and Chechens.  I dreamed of all the stuff I'd like to do with them, would fill up my online shopping cart, would get cold feet, close the browser, rinse and repeat numerous times over the past several months.  I finally jumped in and boy am I glad I did!


The whole force, 23 Modern Australians.  If I recall correctly, I bought one pack of 'regular' riflemen (6 figs), one pack of grenadiers (4 figs), one pack of riflemen with LAWs (4 figs), one pack of SAWs (which they call Minimis, four figs), one pack of machine gunners (2 figs, one carrying rifle and one carrying M-240/FN MAG/MAG-58), and two leader packs (two figs each, consisting of one officer/NCO and one RTO).  As you see, I gave them bases with a grass but still showing some dirt, and I painted the dirt desert yellow looking to maximize the theaters I can use these guys in.

Really great figures, I highly recommend them!  And I recommend them for myself, too; I plan on (sometime in the future, not sure when) exactly replicating my last purchase order, then painting all them up in winter wear/bases.  Not sure when I'll get to that, but it's definitely coming now that I've seen these figs 'in the flesh.'

I still have one more batrep for Cronistria languishing, waiting to be typed up and posted, and I plan on playing some more games this weekend, so stay tuned and I'll see what I can get done.

V/R,
Jack
