A more practical and infinitely more USEFUL test Barbarian is



12mm Minifigs on the left, 10mm Pendraken on the right.

Don't like the one on the left.

Me neither. I had a look on the range, can't say I'm pleased with them.

No me neither, but they (and their vehicles) do exist, and thats as close to 10mm as your likely to get.

Gennorm

That's why I've gone 15mm where it's much more developed. Hey stop throwing things at me  :-* ???

definatley up for some modern stuff!  ;)

All I want for moderns is Infantry in floppy hats/kepis/Helmets with HMGs and mortars, and I only need a couple of vehicles to make me happy, trucks, T55s and Technicals with the option of RRLs or HMGs. But I am waiting for Pendraken to do them mainly because I hate assembling Minifigs stuff, then when Mr Leon listens to my pleas I can get busy in the Peoples Republic of Zambowanga playing AK47.

Some of the modern U.S kit is good too, M-ATVs, Strykers all 11 of em  8) etc etc etc, a huge amount of Humvee's, buffalo Hemmt etc etc, and then the soviet stuff........ phew, cold shower!

there is so much scope for modern gaming, historical accuracy and so many what ifs

Let's not forget the real wars of the 20th Century - Six Day, Yom Kippur, Indo-Pakistani (x 2) etc. where there were some decent armour v. armour battles, not scruffy bandits driving around in converted pick-ups. Centurion and T55 are a good start. M47, M48 (no, they're not the same tank) M60 and various APCs and artillery - towed and SP - would be good. Let's do it properly.   
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I'd be up for Modern Infantry-(British/French/Chinese/Australian-These could be the same, as they all use a bullpup rifle, maybe just different webbing and helmets.
African Militias and African civillians (Sub Saharan).
More animals-Hippos, Giraffes, Lions etc.
Rondavels/African huts.
