15mm Israeli Paras for 1967 - anyone make guys with UZi SMGs?

Hi Guys

Wondering about trying modern variant of Chain of Command using mostly Battlefront/FoW minis. However I wanted to focus on the Jerusalem/Samaria fighting and FoW are not making specific Israeli para miniatures.

Any suggestions welcomed.

cheers

If you read between the lines when they talk about the future of "Fate of a Nation", Israeli paras will come out and possibly not too far down the track.

[julesav]

Hmmm. They recommend using ordinary Israeli infantry with FNs in the FoaN book yet make the specific para support platoons.

Anyway in 2 weeks time my group will have changed direction onto 'Early Hunter Gatherers' or some-such thing! I NEED them now! Lol!

I was going to suggest Khurusan, but apparently they are undergoing renovations and the range is packed up for the time being... unless of course they are available from elsewhere?

I would have suggested Peter Pig, but their Israelis don't have Uzis (although there may be other interesting figures for yout project)

Cheers for that Arrigo! I'd missed that pack completely. I'm not sure that paying $6 for 6 15mm figures, only 4 of which have Uzis, is ideal! But I suppose it's better than nothing.

Peter Pig would've been my manufacturer of choice Fastolfrus but sadly no-one clutching an Uzi in the whole AK47 Israeli range!

Does anyone know whether the Khurasan range included/includes Israeli paras with Uzis?

Khurasan Isrealis with UZIs



 

Not mine by the way, I just googled the image.

Not being able to write without a typo has never been an obstacle in Britain's academic world.

Khurasan look great! Anyone know when they'll be back in production and whether they'd mix well with any Battlefront infantry?

You could email Martin at PP and ask if he's likely to sculpt any?
