1/72 Taliban

[Erik]

Hey there
I need some help in my upcoming project.
I am looking to play some Afganistan skirmish, probably using Force on Force, and I want to use 1/72 plastic soldiers. Does anyone know which companies produce these guys, and who sell them?

Cheers
Erik

Caesar Miniatures produced a set called Modern Urban Resisters which covers generic Taliban/terrorists. The set even has a figure that looks like Bin Laden.

They also made a Modern Militia set which covers Africa and generic bad guys in head wraps which could be used for various settings.

Can't go wrong with Caesar minis. Great quality and details plus they are rather easy to find.

Ultima Ratio produced a Taliban set

Unlike the other two, I don't own that set or any figures from that company, so I can't comment on the quality.

If you want to branch out, plenty of metal Taliban available in 1/72 from various sources for not that much more then the cost of a plastic box with 8 poses repeated 4 times.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I am going to go with the ones from Ultima Ratio.
According to Plastic Soldier Review they are the only ones on the market that are specific talibans. The models look great and the ratings on PSR are top.

I am aware of all the great looking metal 20 mm talibans out there but I thought plastic would be an easier way to get started.
