Generic Middle Eastern Regulars

[tim in saskatoon]

I just finished up a batch of generic modern Middle Easter regulars. I’ve painted them up in a khaki – rather than a specific camouflage pattern – in hopes that I could pass them off as any sort of Middle East/Central Asian force armed with soviet equipment… Syrians… Egyptians… Iranians… Iraqis…. Pakistanis…? Maybe even regulars from Burkhaderkastan or Stanistan…? In a pinch I might even try to pass them off as Nicaraguans or Cubans in a “Red Dawn” scenario… (or the Peoples Revolutionary Army of Mexico – P.R.A.M.)

Crikey Tim, they'll be the first wargames figures to suffer an identity crisis! 

Nice work though, like 'em.

I'm always trying to make my minis more versatile and you have done a stunning job. I might have to copy your clever paint scheme.

These look great! I want some! I love your paint job.


It's a good idea to keep them really generic- you'll get ore gaming out of them. And sod anyone who tells you there are not 'accurate'. They're toy soldiers, damn it!

(if I sound bitter it's because I have just finished painting delta force in Multicam, and I hate painting Multicam- now I realise I should have done what you did and done them as generic special forces)
