Black Ops miniatures

[Inso]

You could always try Heresy miniatures troopers or the Urban War miniatures from Scotia Grendel.

... and let's not forget the Lead Adventure miniatures... there are some cool special forces types in there too.

... also Copplestone Castings.

Foundry also offers an interesting range of near future figures !

OK going to use search of my Empress moderns, and I think the rules will work just fine for some world war two and cold war Era covert operations.

[mcfonz]

Pig Iron miniatures would be a good shout as well, especially their near future types.

I quite like the look of the Terminator Genisys resistance soldiers, not too futuristic but still a step away from modern/contemporary combat. Has anyone used these? I see they're meant to clip together without glue, but I'd probably end up gluing them anyway.

[CptJake]

I've glued but not painted my Terminator resistance fighters.   They are okay but limited poses are possible.

[commissarmoody]

Oh new idea. I can use some of my post apoc Fallout stuff for some missions also.

Personaly, the more I read Black Ops, the more I see a great historical modern ruleset, so I will not use for Shadowrun as I expected, but for my 20mm modern collection

Agreed, I think I'll mainly use it for modern special forces stuff (not necessarily espionage) but I'm also thinking of some lightly futuristic scenarios - Infinity Lite perhaps.

I think it's perfect for a Cyberpunk setting. It will fit my table well...for example, for the Airport I will be using my Monorail from Mad Mecha Designs (after it's finished...so maybe 3 years from now ). And a small squad of elite shadowrunners/mercs infiltrating a grungy warehouse to extract data from a machine would work easily with BO.
I'm just contemplating on what to use for the infiltrators. But once the Human Interface stuff arrives I have more than enough.

I have some black scorpion modern usmc, want to pick up some skirmish sangin insurgents and have some bolt action British commandos I think would rock under those rules if I'd ever bothered with an enemy force ( ).

@sundayhero

I've only leafed the rule but think they have potential across the board.  If you stripped away some of the technology it would work very well for a WW2 commando raid.  Some skills like hacking could easily be subbed out for mechanical lockpicking while others would just end up out.

Pushing to the future would be more intensive.  I'd still like to do something with 40k Inquisitor somewhere down the road but like Shadowrun in your case it looks attractive as delivered.  I'll come back to this game but I have too many projects on my plate at the moment.  Worst part is if I paint a single model with Black Ops in mind I'll get sucked in .

[sundayhero]

yes, black ops would be perfect to redo these 60's WW2 commandos movies, like "Where eagles dare", "guns of navarone", etc...

For shadowrun, I would have to add cyber enhancements, boost drugs, magic, drones management, matrix management, etc....So maybe it would be easier to start from a more scifi setup ruleset and add the "stealth" stuff on it ?

Who knows, maybe it will be in a supplement for Blackops someday ! This game is a great core ruleset, we could imagine reinforced platoon scale modern action, hard scifi combat, pulp espionnage, WW2, etc, etc...I hope the game will find some success so it will be develloped like it deserves !

If Osprey want me to write it... 

I am working of a couple of ideas which will either appear in print or in the wargames press.

"Guns of Navarone" is awesome.  I've always been partial to the "Dirty Dozen" myself.

Please be sure to flag it up as and when you do.
