Iv recently got into Force on Force by ambush ally and it's a great game and Iv got a decent collection of 28mm miniatures but the cost is abit out of the range for a few of my friends so Iv decided to go down the road of 15mm as almost all of my gaming friend play FOW and the cost to build up a full force in 15mm will be abit better and it will attract a few more of my FOW friends.
So the big question
Who sells the best 15mm MODERN miniatures that I can get from the UK
It has to be the UK only as I recently bought some stuff from an American company that has been big in the gaming news and was hit with the customs charge :(
If you could post any pics of miniatures in comparison to something or another range please do as this will help me make a decision
-
Khurasan? I don't own any as I don't do 15mm, but they are awfully tempting! lol
-
Another vote for Khurasan. Service can be slow but quality is top notch.
Peter Pig is another favorite of mine and native to the UK.
I would avoid Rebel Minis. Infantry castings that I received from them were very poor quality and their vehicles seem much larger than the infantry.
-
There very tempting but based in the US :( anyone ever used old glory miniatures??
-
Huh. Sorry about that. I did not realize Khurasan were US.
When you say Modern, what more specifically are you thinking of?
EDIT: found this thread about Khurasan and UK ordering, seems encouraging: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=291008

Ordered from Khurasan about 5 times and never had any issues, his minis are superb. I have not bought any of his moderns mind (that said I have some of his Yom-Kippur Syrians which are great), but I have been informed numerous times that they are very good, if they are anything like the sci fi, then they are probably right.
I know of a number of companies that sell 15mm moderns in the U.K (QRF, Peter Pig, Fighting 15s) and I know in the U.S there is Flytrap, Rebel minis however I have honestly no experience buying from them, so I couldn't pass comment, though they all have good ranges from what I see when I go for a browse, and when I see other peoples work.

When I say modern I'm after anything that will fit in with FOF enduring freedom and enduring freedom so British from 2002-today and Americans from 1998-today and afghans, Somalis, armed civilians :)
-
No doubts, Peter Pig
-
Sadly PP doesn't do modern British :(

I personally like

I have they ultra modern US marines and MERC infantry and I think they quality is very nice.
Also they have many cool poses :)

Don't CP models do Iraqis and British SAS for the 1991 Gulf war? (Though they'd equally be as good as 2003 stuff too, and as some current Iranian units)
-
Some more ideas and painted minis...
