Khurasan releases 15mm M1A2 and Modern US Army Infantry
« on: January 04, 2013, 03:35:03 PM »
We have just released the first codes of our ultra-modern U.S. models in 15mm scale. This line will contain both vehicles and infantry, and we have both in the initial release. It's available here:

http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/modern-us-army.html



The first vehicle is the M1A2 SEP v.2, the most current configuration of the tank. The kit is a mixture of resin and pewter.

Also available are the squad and platoon infantry elements of the U.S. Army. (With just a little fudging, you could probably use them as Marines as well.) These are available either with or without protective eyewear, and with or without separate night vision devices. The men are dressed in a mix of armor as is often the case in the field – some wearing various degrees of knee protection, some with the groin armor, and some not. The men all wear the hydration pack on their backs.  Mike Broadbent sculpted the infantry.

The basic infantry squad has a squad leader (M4), two team leaders with (M4), two riflemen (M4), two SAW gunners (M249), and two grenadiers (M4/M203).



There are two different basic squads, with different M4 poses so that all your squads don't look the same on the tabletop. Above is the first squad.


 
And above is the second squad. These are both shown without protective eyewear, but are also available with the eyewear.


 
At platoon level, we have the assets seen above. They are: platoon sergeant, second lieutenant, RTO, medic, walking M240 team, prone M240 team, shooting Javelin team, advancing Javelin team, forward observer team, marksman with EBR, and marksman with bolt rifle. This set is an example of models with protective eyewear, but it is also available without the eyewear.

As you may have noticed, separate bipods are provided for the M249 and M240, if you want to use them – it's a handy way to further distinguish the automatic weapons.


 
There are some more advanced grenade launchers in use or evaluation to replace the venerable M203, so we have included a pack of those, too. There are two poses of grenadiers without protective eyewear with the revolutionary XM-25 "Punisher," and four grenadiers with the M320 on their M4s – two with protective eyewear and two without. (Unfortunately, due to a mix-up with the painter, the above photo shows two kneeling men with the M203 instead of the M320, but the set has the M320s.)


 
Finally, we have also added another option – to add ten sets of night-vision devices to any pack you order. These are quite small, as can be imagined, but if you want to fuss with adding them, they make the models look as shown on the above figurine.

More vehicles are coming soon.  Troop of Shewe painted the M1A2, and more pictures can be seen here:

Rafa painted the infantry (these are shown in Multicam).


Available now, thanks for looking.

Yes, I just have to get one to Mike so that he can sculpt them.  I also need to get him an M1151 turret so he can make a few gunners for that.  They are coming.

Thanks for your order, AN!

Those came out great!

How much longer until the TUSK kits are ready?   I'm trying to decide if I should wait for them before ordering.
