Well, Four A Miniatures used to have some very nice (near) future snowtroopers, but the website seems no longer available.

Other alternatives:

https://www.tigerminiatures.co.uk/i-c-e: These are a bit big and a bit rough around the edges.


Left Warlord Finnish trooper, right Tiger miniatures

Another alternative is to build them yourself using plastic miniatures and greenstuff. I used warlord US airborne plastics with project Z plastic modern firearms. Heads were covered with a fur lined hood made from greenstuff:

I did a winterapoc project a few years ago (and have sadly sold it all on!) - some of the WW2 US GIs in great coats work well (I liked Artizan; especially as some of their FSSF figures are in parkas). A couple of the Artizan thrilling Tales figures worked too. Tiger's wet weather Mounties and trappers fitted ok with some base thinning/weapon swops. Some of the Gripping Beast MoFo figures had good potential too.
Since then there are also all the Frostgrave plastics that you might be able to use as a basis for conversion

Copplestone Castings (available from North Star) do a couple of packs of nicely wrapped-up Partizans in their Future Wars Range. They also do pack of useful Polar Adventurers in their High Adventure/Polar Perils range

Possibly some Frostgrave barbarians with Anvil Industry arms?

Exploring that is on my to-do list, but so are many other things :D

I've been looking for soviets in just the same setting

there are a few old LAF and Mongrel minis that would work well

beyond that I've been looking at 28mm Chechens
On the lookout for 10mm Magister Militum Fantasy figures, halflings and woodelves in particular

I've kitbashed a few frostgrave adventurers with ww2 arms and weapons from Warlord for Fallout/Morrow Project-style/The After RPG games. 

I've also been planning on getting some of the Copplestone arctic minis and doing a few weapon swaps to modernise them a bit.

Yeah, it's a shame about Four A Miniatures. Great Snowtroopers. Glad I got some now!

If you have access to a 3D printer, these may work:

Have a look at the balaclava heads that Anvil Industry do...a simple way to convert existing figures - I’ve used them on my Soviets (these are mainly from Underfire)
