[Figs] Modern or scifi compatible

[quoted original message omitted]

G'day,

I'm finally getting around to thinking of a "sensible" human SG force. I don't
mind the Gurkhas or the NSL Panzergrens but both of those have been done down
here. So does anyone know of a line of good looking modern 25mm figs (Vietnam
era onward)? Preferrably UK but anything nice is worth knowing about.

Thanks

Beth have you looked at these, US Delta Force

HEY DON!

have you actually got any of these guys from the SPEC OPs or RVN lines in your
sweaty hands yet?

i have some of the 25mm 19 Century Colonials and they are very nice!

G'day guys,

Thanks for the figs Don I don't think I could've found them without your help!

Unfortunately the guys here have gone for GZG 25mm or Warzone, i-core,
GW etc 28mm so 20mm is a tad too small. If I wasn't being asked to get a
serious human army for campaigns etc this time round I would've gone down as
small as 6mm for this force.... I'm reading Lachy Robotech at the moment so
anything from 6mm upto 54mm + should work under those constraints ;)

Thanks for the info anyway.

Cheers

Eureka makes Special Forces figures. These look pretty good (I have 40 of them
primed). They come with a variety of heads. Two or three head types are police
SWAT, and a couple are definitely special forces with balaclavas. However,
there are one or two that have typical US style kevlar helmets. These would
work well (though, being Eureka, they are a little on the big side compared to
regular SG2 figures).

G'day,

I remember Derek mentioning these sounds like I'd better take another look
;)

Cheers

It seems as if SciFi figures get a new upgrade every couple of years. This
corresponds with the release of a popular SciFi movie or series of books or
popular set of miniatures (see I do support GZG). I am rather fortunate in
that I bought all that great stuff and painted some and stored the stuff I
wasn't ready to paint when I ran across it (yes I am a miniature's packrat).

In 25mm the first set I ran across was from a company called McEwan minatures.
I ended up purchasing 10 seperate forces of platoon strength
(40 to 110 figures). I also have about 10+ additional platoons of other
races from other companies that I have run across. The only problem with 25mm
is a shortage of buildings in prebuilt condition and the cost of them when you
do find them.

I went to 6mm because it gave me not only the figures but also the buildings I
wanted. It also gave me battalion size games on a 1 to 1 scale (OK 2 to 1
for non PA Inf.).  At last count I had 800+ vehicles 150+ buildings and
5 bn
of Inf (2 painted). Throw in 100+ Battlemechs and landing craft and drop
ships ( preproduction runs that never went into production) and it gets
interesting.

Wow, do you have any pictures of these, or your friends'? That's quite a lot.

The GZG generic mercs (SGM product codes at Eureka and GZG) might work well
for this.

Thanks for the suggestion.
