You might distinguish the Kriegspiel figures via Eureka as more 24mm eye height than the later 28mm figures from Eureka's line and the Vietnam figures as more 22mm. The Frogmen come in both 24mm an 28mm versions.

I just received the Eureka 1970s ZANLA/African guerrillas and they match up well with Mongrels figures the one thing I don't like about them is most have no kit sculpted on them, no water bottle, no ammo pouches nothing.

Eureka 1970s Portuguese.

It freakin' blows my mind that so many of these stores don't have any (or adequate) pictures of the miniatures they're selling.
How do they plan on selling anything if I can't see what I'm buying? I wonder how some of these companies stay in business.
-
Does anyone make semi-modern Chinese? Or anything that could perhaps pass as them (it'd be tough since they're rockin' that new rifle now). Just curious. Cheers. Also, does anyone do 28mm plastics for modern models? I haven't seen any.

LAF member Col Stone has a range of modern Chinese.
http://cs-compound.blogspot.com.au/
. No modern plastics beyond 1/72 scale soft plastic.
-
Modern Chinese - Although the "Battlefield Evolution" range has been discontinued, Mongoose still has some modern Chinese vehicles in its webshop. I can't remember if they still have any infantry, but ebay might throw something up. Nowhere near as nice as Colonel Stone's figures, anyway.
-
Cool, perfect. Thanks! Is there a thread around here with 28mm vehicle listings? I know this the bane of modern 28mm wargaming...

Yes and no. They make the older LVTP and here is a picture of the one that I purchased from them.

isnt that the same thing,just with another turret?
-
and where did you find it in the pricelist?
-

Not quite, the later iteration has significant differences, including new suspenion and many if not all have additional armour and changes to exterior details. Of course, that may not be an issue depending on your needs or tastes.
Talking of turrets, that LVTP-7 could do with a new one, it looks a bit odd.
-
What does this LVTP7 cost then? I think I could scratch a AAVP7 turret myself, and its for mid 80's - Modern.

Does any other company make decent looking modern (post 2000) minis in the UK or Europe other then Empress Miniatures? Everything else I found just seems poorly sculpted in comparison.

Some of the TAG minis aren't bad, the Richard Ansell sculpted ones are OK and the most recent ones by a lady sculptor whose name I have forgotten are actually quite good. Apart from that there's a handful of useful Hasslefree sculpts that can be used as SF, mercenaries or private contractor types.
Red Star do Chechen Wars era Russians that, technically speaking, could stretch beyond 2000 in terms of use. They are based in Belgium but Empress carry the range.
Actually the Eureka moderns are available through their UK distributor so most of the minis out there are available in the UK.

Fighting 15s, but they don't stock all the ranges, and don't always sell singles. I've tended to buy direct from Australia.

Does anyone do African Militia/Guerillas/Freedom fighters armed with SKS? I'm gearing up to playtest the CoC Bush Wars and the bulk of the Militia/Guerillas/Freedom fighters seem to be thus armed.
Very tempted by that card laser cut Buffel.
-
Check out Eureka's modern African range. I believe some of them are armed with Sks's and I think some of the I think some of the Specter Miniatures range that come out in September have a few.
-
Looked at both Eureka and Spectre, doesn't look like they are on there.
-
Darn, sorry they didn't have what you where looking for?
-
That's OK, I have just discovered that they have not been released yet. They will be added to my order when I do it next week.
-
They have been released. I have quite a few. They are just not on the website. Often worth checking the US website for product codes and photos, it's usually updated more regularly than the Australian one.
-
Thanks, Carlos. I have been talking to Nic R about RCLs anyway, so I will ask him about the SKS armed guerillas.
-
OK, I have my Brits in Aden figures now from Eureka and they are excellent. I am collecting 28mm figs to use in Chain of Command Bush Wars by TFL and in the beta lists I see that the ZANLA CTs and the Rhodesian SFs have access to a 60 mm mortar but the only one I can find with a post WW2 crew is the Red Star one in their Dien Nien Phu range and the figures in that pack are in distinctly US style equipement including helmets. Does anyone know of a source for the 60mm mortar with either African insurgent or Rhodesian crew (preferably both)?
It is my intention to buy some TAG US Special Forces with shotguns and AK47s to use as some of the more LRRP style troops in the lists.
Thanks, Carlos. I have been talking to Nic R about RCLs anyway, so I will ask him about the SKS armed guerillas.
-
The mortar itself was likely a Chinese copy of the US 60mm mortar, itself a copy of the Brandt 60mm. Any WW2 US range that carries a 60mm mortar will do for the tube. Head swap for US marines would probably be the closest thing for crew. Maybe Warlord Games or Brigade games ranges of USMC?
-
Edit:- Checked Brigade, one of the sets that there are no pics of and the WG one has crew in all their gear including back packs. Bugger!
OK, thanks, was hoping to get them all from the same maker but no such luck.

Isn’t this the Cold War minis list?
-
The board's for discussion of historical events up to the year 2000, and up until the present where talk is kept to the miniatures themselves without delving into any current conflicts.
Of course the LAV III went into service in 1999, and the vehicle which its based on has been in service since 1972, so that should fit into the "before 2000" criteria.

I've not ordered them. It was just posted over on another forum. Presumably you can buy them from other retailers.
