Other than Peter Pig (who has 3 miniatures), who else makes 15mm ski troops? |

Battlefront has German mountain troops, not that they're actually skiing. |

Looking for actually 'ski' troops. I may have to settle from what I have been able to find though. I'm pretty sure that Legions East did some (Finnish), but I'm not sure if they are still around and kicking. I guess at this point, I would be happy with Germans in their winter gear that I could paint up. For some reason, I'm in a mood to paint a platoon or two of Germans in white coats/camo. |

Legions East make Finnish ski troops, and I got them just about a year ago. See if their website is still up.
They are close to "true 15mm" though, and are not the well fed behemoths we have come to expect under the heading of "15mm"  |

Is Resistant Rooster still around? I found link but their description of how many figures come in a pack isn't listed. Anyone know? |

Here's what I did with the three figures in the PP pack
(I made them into Russians apart from anything else – with PP's Ushanka spare heads pack) This is a small PBI platoon supported by a QRF aerosan (I'm adding a couple more of those) to initiate a raid. The other troops following up will be conventional (though I may come back to the project and do more units of men in white suits when I have some more time). More pics if you are interested link Phil Steele |

Resistant Roosters are noticeably larger and bulkier than Legions East. I had both in the same army, and even though I am notoriously slack when it comes to "compatibility, it looked awkward. |

Phil-I wish I had the patience that you do sir, I really do. But there is NO WAY that I could even come close to what you have done. And well done at that chap! John-Thanks for the info on LE and RR. Not sure what I'm going to do here but I will come up with something, I always do! Off topic here, but how did you 'snow' your bases on yours? |
| John the OFM | 27 Jan 2012 9:11 p.m. PST |
I never got around to snowing the bases. Sadly, I was forced to sell them for food and mortgage money. |
