All,

As you may know, I've gone into 15mm in a big way (big for me, at least).  I plan on using them for skirmish gaming, whilst sticking with 10mm for company-level fighting and 6mm for battalion-level and up.  In any case, I've bought a bunch of Rebel Minis' 15mm, quite a few Peter Pig, and then I decided to go for some Battlefront.  I'm doing a bunch of Vietnam-era, Modern Africa, and Modern Middle East, and I really liked what I saw online of the figures, figuring I could use them for Vietnam and modern stuff.


The whole shebang: 14 troops for about nine bucks.  I was really pleased with them; the castings are fantastic, and six poses in fourteen guys is pretty damn cool if you ask me.  I really tried to get an eclectic mix with these guys, to make them as 'special forces-sy' as possible.  I threw in a wild mix of different uniforms, and I threw in different skin tones as well, just for good measure.  My only complaint is that almost everyone has a Stoner assault rifle; not a single M-16, AK-47, M-3, M-1 Thompson, M-1 Carbine, BAR, or M-60.  They even have a couple guys strapped up with belt-fed ammo, but no belt fed weapons (yes, I know the Stoner could take belt-fed ammo in certain configurations, but the guys have drums in their weapons, so it doesn't really make sense).  But I'll overlook all that due to the fact 1) the figures are just damned cool looking, and 2) two of the guys have M-14s.  And I love M-14s

Please forgive my humble attempts at painting.  I plan on working hard on getting through Cuba Libre's War of Liberation this weekend, and I've got more 15mm troops to photo and post, so stay tuned.

Very nice work indeed, Jack !

Good one Jack

Thanks fellas.

I feel like I've gotten pretty good at the Woodland and Duckhunter camo, but not sure about the Tiger Stripe...
