Hey guys,
I am looking to determine interest in a miniature range that I am considering having made and trying to determine what are the most desired ranges for modern conflicts (post 1985 for the most part) for a potential kickstarter. At this point, I am thinking that I would like to produce generic Middle East military (i.e. Syria, Iran, Iraq, etc.) and generic insurgents in western clothes and paramilitary garb (i.e. Syria, Ukraine, etc.). Potential future projects are the IDF and other unavailable options such as generic African troops.
I am doing this as I am tired of not having the variety of other scales in 28mm and I think that a project like this will fulfill a lot of gamer wishes, including mine. At this point I am planning on contracting eBob if there is enough interest in this project.
I have done a considerable amount of market research into these potential ranges and have found them lacking. I know that Eureka has the Musorians, but they are not actually in scale with Empress, Eureka 28mm, and Spectre. There are virtually no insurgents in Western garb and my range will likely feature separate heads that will allow them to be fielded as African, Middle Eastern, European, and potentially Asian.
If you guys have any other suggestions or think that another potential range is needed more please let me know.
Thanks,
Gunnar
