All,

I finished up a couple more forces for my "imagination," Perplakistan, where the French Foreign Legion has been battling it out with local leftist insurgents backed by nearby Tumoria.

I used Pendraken's Aussies and an set of RPG gunners with bush hats from their Vietnam range for my Perplakistani government troops, though I'd say they can be used for a lot of different modern/semi-modern Africa scenarios.


The whole force, eight officers and fifteen stands of infantry.


Rifle stand showing a mix of M-16s, FNs, and RPGs.  Some of the bases have an SMG, not sure of the make but looks like a Sterling to me.


Now for a little GreyPanda cheese: "Life's ruff in Perplakistan."  Meant to put some black or dark gray on the dog, not just leave him brown.

Couldn't have some good guys without some bad guys.  I finished up the last of my evil Tumorians using some Minifigs NVA I had lying around.  I'm not all that proud of my work on these guys, but they'll do.  I intend on using them as a paramilitary/IRGC/Fedayeen/Basij-type force, with two officers and seven rifle stands (not going to post pics here as they aren't Pendraken).

Well, I've been knocking forces out left and right, so stay tuned, I'm not done!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. 

I bought these Aussies on a whim, not real sure what I was going to do with them, but I'm real happy with the way they turned out.

V/R,

I'm glad it's not just me who suddenly sees things that they meant to paint...  #:-S #-o

Very nice looking troops Jack. One minor suggestion, going over the edges of the bases with the dark brown you have chosen would smarten them up and give them that finished looked.
