Who make the best Taliban or Iraqi insurgents?
I'm just looking for good physical proportions in 20mm, lead or plastic: Liberation look quite nice but they suffer a little from the no-neck-big-hands syndrome. Britannia are also good – but the legs are a bit too 25mm. What should I buy? Help! |

Have you actually seen Liberation in the flesh? Cos it dont sound like it. ;-) Damn fine figures. If you are a member on The Guild, check out Big P's lovely Mujehedin army… link |

Have you looked at Caeser's plastics? Check out pics at PSR. Thanks, John |

I like the Liberation ones best myself, but if you don't that's understandable. many of the guys on The Guild use plastic insurgents by a company whose name I can't recall. But here's the link to the group… link |

Mars do a set in 20mm plastic, they are a rip off from the Esci Mulim Warriors set but they look okay. |

Stan Johansen has a 20mm range. I haven't seen these in the flesh though. link |

"Who make the best Taliban or Iraqi insurgents" By many accounts I have read, the fighters from Chechnya were some of the better ones. Just kidding. Jake |

For 28mm Devil Dog Design(Valient Studios?) has some very nice model. They also have an Osama model. |

Hey, thanks for reminding me about those Stan Johansen models. They look really good! Anybody know how they match up with Liberation? |

I like Mongrel minis, smallish 28mm. |

''Have you actually seen Liberation in the flesh? Cos it dont sound like it. ;-)'' I have seen some very good examples – Britannia too: they're both high quality. I didn't mean to slag them off: it's just I prefer more human proportions, even if that means the sculpting is a little less dramatic. John Leahy

''Mars do a set in 20mm plastic, they are a rip off from the Esci Mulim Warriors set but they look okay''.
I went for both in the end, from BB Wargames. Mars do the 'Mujahideen' and Caesar a pack called 'Modern Urban Resisters' which have a middle eastern look and the usual weapons. Useful advice on here – thanks a lot. |
