Black October - middle eastern fundamentalist militia
« on: June 06, 2009, 11:30:04 AM »
another recently completed project - all figures are 20mm Liberation miniatures, from their PLO range - with a few conversions thrown in

rob  :D

 

Black October - middle eastern fundamentalist militia

Black October - a new radical fundamentalist middle-eastern group has been identified by western intelligence agencies as supplying arms and fighters to several international locations over the last six months. Links to the PLO, Iraqi insurgants and Taliban extremists have become more overt in recent months and links to Al Queda have not been ruled out.
Intelligence over the groups leadership is slim.


the full compliment... technicals at the back along with the VW bus (transport or suicide bomber...?)
at the very front - IED markers and ATGM and HMG bases

on the left, from the front - squads 1, 2 and 3 and a sniper base


on the right from the front - elite squad, squad 4 and sniper squad  with another sniper base


in the centre; command squad and religious leadership with bodyguard,
ground to air missiles and at the back two sniper bases


various beauty shots...

Controversial subject, first-class execution!

Those markers, the road signs in particular, are remarkable.
