Hi there!
I am looking for your help for representing troops for the currant conflicts in Africa, i mean Congo, and all these areas. for the militias, government and for the UN troops.
Thanks!
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.
IanS
The date... mainly from 1980 to the present. Avoiding guys with turban, any insurgent I wthink that could be interesting...
Thanks Ian!, good idea
Welcome Slorm, are you the same Slorm as La Armada?
Anyway, here is some sort of inspiration by the hand of barbarian... corssfingers maybe (I do not really know) some day we could see them in lead

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 can't find the beret british from wwii
I was referring to the Falklands stuff. Mind you since Phil aint doing nothing.......
IanS
The Australians from the Vietnam range would give guys in bush hats rather than helmets. Not sure if they'd be any use.
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!
Here there are some pictures, maybe it can help, do not know

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.
There's a running bareheaded Chu Loc or Tu Ve figure who might do, if suitably painted.
Maybe I can help, I've done a bit of this kinda stuff ;)

cracking work bigjackmac 8) (as always)
Thanks!
They look like very good!
Nice work again, Jack !
Cheers - Phil
Thanks fellers.
I was able to similarly assist a gentleman over on The Wargamer's Website, showing the Pendraken flag! Now I just need to get them on the damned table! Though judging by the dearth of batreps on the site lately, I'm not the only one suffering difficulties in that arena :(
Now if only I had Vietnam USMC with M-14s, WWII USMC for Guadalcanal, and WWII USMC for the Philippines... Ahem, *cough* Techno *cough* ;)
V/R,
Jack
Phil keeps saying he's busy, and I've lost track, 20?
IanS
Jack hasn't noticed 'that' post of mine yet, has he ? ;)
Reckon it'll be a few months into the New Year before I can really look at any new (unstarted) 'personal projects' again.
Cheers - Phil.
Drinking that much Phil.....
IanS
Oh, I see, Phil, and I'm not impressed ;)
You're making me wait so long, I should get a 'buy two, get one free' deal! ;D
V/R,
Jack
