Forces for Modern Africa Part 1 - Rebel Minis Government Troops

[bigjackmac]

All,

Well, I've got more troops for Modern Middle East, but I've posted all I've got finished so far, so time to move on to other modern troops I've finished, which are for Modern Africa.  First off, I bought one of Rebel Minis' "Battle Boxes," the one for Bongolesia, and it's pretty cool.  I won't get to all of it hear, but it's got African Rebels, African Government Troops, and a team of mercenaries/contractors/ special forces-types in civilian clothes.  Here we'll look at the Gov't troops and Mercs.


Here's the whole Gov't force, 27 troops in nine (9!) different poses.  Sure, some of the poses are a bit 'samey,' but nine poses for 27 troops is pretty damn amazing if you ask me.  There are also four mercs, each a unique pose.  When you pair these with the Rebels, and the fact they also come with some scenarios, the Battle Box is a helluva deal.

That wraps up the next batch of troops, stand by for more 15mm troop postings for Africa (three more, I believe).  Regarding my upcoming 20mm campaign in the Balkans, probably not going to be able to start this weekend.  I've got a bunch of terrain on the way, looks like some won't be here until next week though, plus I'm waiting on more 20mm Elhiem figures.  They should be here any day, but I still need to get them painted up and based.  But it's coming, so stand by for that too!

I think it's Ok.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment guys.

Ronan - Yeah, I suppose I was in a weird mood last night, quite a bit of nostalgia for some reason.  Next up should be some French Foreign Legion; I'll post them, but I don't feel like I did a very good job on their uniforms.  As we all know, you can't paint the 'real' camouflage colors (because of the size), you have to paint 'representative' camouflage (i.e., it looks right in the mind's eye for that scale, even though the pattern is much larger than it would be in real life), but I feel like I left out a lighter green/almost khaki color...

V/R,
Jack
