Cool! Is he a conversion? Or one of Eurekas other lines?

He's one of the '1980's Soviet mechanized infantry'; unconverted.

Also picked up the USMC force recon set, thought they looked the part for a 'Tears of the Sun' type unit:

Pondered it for a while; if the figure was kneeling with a scoped M-14 I would have.

Go with the Director's cut option rather than the cut down version on Netflix...

In my opinion one of the best Bruce Willis films.....he’s not trying too hard.

Brutal depiction of the savagery of internal strife.  The village scene is mental.

Really like the camouflaged faces. Looks very good. So LRRP next if you go for Tiger Stripe?  ???

Fantastic work Ash. I followed your 20mm thread with great interest and indeed may well have another go at a game. What rules will you use for these?

The 20mm stuff has seen a fairly hefty raid on the stash; a couple of T-55s, one of which has to be the worst kit I've ever tried to make ( will end up as a burnt out wreck); some air support for my EO contingent & a few reinforcement for the FAPLA boys.

Rules, mmm...I have the Force on Force book + the bush wars suppliament and Mike sent me a copy of his 'Wars of Insurgency' skirmish rules.

Also got some 28mm figures in the post; going to have a go at some larger Executive Outcomes in Sierra Leone. Good excuse to try some more camo patterns.

I must compliment you on your output as well! Far more productive than myself!

Had a go at doing some Executive Outcomes PMCs mid '90's Sierra Leone.
