I would suggest any of the following: Aliens, Zombies, modern survivors as scavver types or some more Marines as 'not' Wetland mercs :)
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
Take care
Andy
Eagles
Landeds
Them and Us?
The Loyal Forces of The Republic
The Forces Loyal To The Republic
(SPLITTERS)
Thanks you for your suggestions keep um coming
I thought of two what do you think
Nova Federation
Earth Alliance
Take care
Andy

The ones with the rockets on look very like some H&R 6mm ones I bought a while ago
Those are an SA-6 battery. They look more like Scotia than H&R.

Hi Womble67
Man after my own heart love Sci Fi check out the American Modern tanks masters look for the M60A2 Starship also there are some Variants of all the American Tanks coming as well
How many moon buggies do you want I can make you some bespoke if you want pm me ;)
Martin
Hello
Don't know of a 10mm or 1/144 chieftain but could you use the MDV19 Centurion Sho't as the chassis
(http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/MDV19.JPG)
At least they're related tanks :).
Edit - http://www.hlj.com/product/mtuafv-015/Mil (http://www.hlj.com/product/mtuafv-015/Mil) found a 1/144 chieftain but at $30US without postage might be a bit scary to slice up :)

Saw expansion packs for Dropzone Commander - they are 10mm based and one of their armies might prove ideal for your needs.

Hi Wolt thanks for getting back to me regarding these Russian vehicles however these vehicles have now been identified by a forum member from leagueofaugsburg Who suggests that are from the skytrex action series.
If Miniature figurines do sell them I am unable to locate them on there catalogue. Anyway like I said everybody's been extremely helpful helping me trying to identify these vehicles it is very much appreciated.

No problem, it's what we do.
I think of it as a reciprocal arrangement, I am quite happy to help people out because someday I might need some help. Also when I started wargaming as a sprog, the 'help' wasn't really there so nowadays, if I can help someone get as much enjoyment out of a hobby that I have been part of for over 45 years it makes me feel all warm and cosy inside...well perhaps not that much but you know what I mean.
Awww, group hug, everyone (except Ian).
Air support for the Nova Federation coming along nicely. The wife made the bases for the aircraft to stand on.
