I have just added some early photos of the the Feyadeen masters on the Site. These will be sold as part of the next Ambush Alley Boxset and seprately for those that need more combatants.

Pics here: link

Thanks!

Now they do look good. I'm painting some Peter Pig insurgents this very minute, but might have to add these to the list!

Also, an idea for future packs – dismounted vehicle or helicopter crew (thinking Black Hawk Down here).

"Feyadeen"?

"Saddam's most trusted militia, the Feyadeen is a paramilitary group with a history of assassinating or ruthlessly quashing political opponents. Literally translated, Feyadeen means "those ready to sactifice themselves for Saddam. FOX News reports that the Feyadeen are behind the…."

Feyadeen :-D

Isn't it Fedayeen?

Sorry, Geoff, but that's why you shouldn't rely on FOX News!***

It's "Fedayeen Saddam":

…one of many uses of "Fedayeen":

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedayeen

***…or the BBC either, which is *very* surprising:

As Anglophone Orientalists have done for a couple of centuries, you can fiddle about with transliterating Arabic vowels, as they're indicated by diacritics instead of characters: thus Muhammad, Mohammed, Mahmud, etc.

But switching consonants about probably isn't a good idea, unless it's intentional, to avoid showing up on Web searches (or intelligence data bases!).

Fedayeen it is!

Thanks Allen!

Whatever you call 'em, they look great! I'm looking forward to getting my hands (and brushes) on them.

I know, that's why I said it :-D

Sweet figs! I'll need some of those!

paulkit04 Aug 2008 8:46 a.m. PST

nice Mike. I already have a load of the RM gangs and Zombies. Somehow I feel a few of those would have a role in my gaming plans. When are they likely to be aveialable?

I am hoping to have them at the end of August.

"I know, that's why I said it"

Oh, just feeding my petty pedantry, then. OK.

Cheers, Mike. These look nice!

GeoffQRF04 Aug 2008 10:00 a.m. PST

Sorry Mike, yes, they do look extremely nice.

How do they scale up next to a Peter Pig US Marine?

the trojan bunny04 Aug 2008 11:35 a.m. PST

Very nice! I'll have to get some for my Ambush Alley games. When are they due out?

Cyrus the Great04 Aug 2008 11:50 a.m. PST

Very nice. I'd buy them for AK-47 Republic.

The Fedayeen look great but the Tom master looks better. Almost can't believe it's 15mm MIke – looks like it's from The Assault Group.

Cheers

Look great. I think I will need some of these.
