And do they wear full burkas or just veils … Or perhaps even less? Or are there any suitable 15mm figures that could be "converted"? Dan |

I think that's supposed to be "Houthi", but your spelling brings something entirely more funny to mind. |

You won't believe the stuff Google comes back with when you spell it "Hoochie Rebel" (on purpose). By the way, didn't someone make 15mm nuns with weapons? Dan |

Nice! But somehow I was expecting them to look a little "sexier" (shapely). Not Hoochie enough. Something like this might be even better, but with an AK or RPG?

You could probably use Rebel Minis (?) Mid-East nasty guys, for them. Just paint them in normal clothing colors rather than camo. |

Good, practical, camo. clothing those "hoochie rebels" are wearing, for a desert environment. I like them. Not sure that outfit CC posted is regulation, since I can see the woman's ankles. ;-) On the plus side, those spiked heels look lethal, for hand-to-hand-to-foot combat. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a kick from those. |

Mako11: "Not sure that outfit CC posted is regulation, since I can see the woman's ankles. ;-)" That's why they would be called hoochies! Dan |

But seriously, who does make these fellows in 15mm

Nobody makes them because it hasnt been a major hotspot for Western intervention. You can easily convert 15mm Afghan fighters by painting them wearing white garments under a tan-to-brown sportcoat. You should take a file and "rough up" the Afghan pillbox hat (pakol) to make it look like a small turban. If you want, paint a Jambiyeh dagger tucked into their waistband. Beyond that, who can tell in 15mm? |
