"15mm Battlefront Vietnam-era Navy SEALs" Topic

All,

As you may know, I've gone into 15mm in a big way (big for me, at least). I plan on using them for skirmish gaming, whilst sticking with 10mm for company-level fighting and 6mm for battalion-level and up. In any case, I've bought a bunch of Rebel Minis' 15mm, quite a few Peter Pig, and then I decided to go for some Battlefront. I'm doing a bunch of Vietnam-era, Modern Africa, and Modern Middle East, and I really liked what I saw online of the figures, figuring I could use them for Vietnam and modern stuff.

The whole shebang: 14 troops for about nine bucks. I was really pleased with them; the castings are fantastic, and six poses in fourteen guys is pretty damn cool if you ask me. I really tried to get an eclectic mix with these guys, to make them as 'special forces-sy' as possible. I threw in a wild mix of different uniforms, and I threw in different skin tones as well, just for good measure. My only complaint is that almost everyone has a Stoner assault rifle; not a single M-16, AK-47, M-3, M-1 Thompson, M-1 Carbine, BAR, or M-60. They even have a couple guys strapped up with belt-fed ammo, but no belt fed weapons (yes, I know the Stoner could take belt-fed ammo in certain configurations, but the guys have drums in their weapons, so it doesn't really make sense). But I'll overlook all that due to the fact 1) the figures are just damned cool looking, and 2) two of the guys have M-14s. And I love M-14s ;)

Please forgive my humble attempts at painting. I plan on working hard on getting through Cuba Libre's War of Liberation this weekend, and I've got more 15mm troops to photo and post, so stay tuned.

Hi take a look as well at Flashpoint miniatures for 15mm Vietnam.

Check out Flytrap Factory Vietnam 15's too

Nice work! I believe that US Marine snipers used M-14s, so the scopes may not be all that inappropriate…

Good stuff!

Here is the break down for the Flytrap SEALs for those interested.

Hi, thanks everyone for stopping by to check them out.

I've got some Flashpoint Vietnam-era USMC on the way.

Baron – Those SEALs and NVA look great. What I really need to order from you are some of the Iwo Jima Expeditionary Group HMMWVs (the non-turreted ones), they look amazing. I have some of your US and Brit Marines on their way to me right now,via Zombiesmith, but he doesn't carry the HMMWVS I'm looking for…

V/R,

Ahhh ok Jack no problem
Have you recently checked out our webstore we have added a variety of new Hummer designs in the past couple of months… drop me an email if there is anything I can help you with mate.

Cheers

Baron,

Thanks a bunch, and I actually do have a question for you:
If I purchased your "Code: WFSS03 (20 Miniatures/3 Vehicles), Skirmish Sangin Scenario 3 Mission Roster," could I change up the HMMWV mix?

I'd like to keep the High-Back HMMWV, but replace the two gun trucks with "Code: WFUS02 (1 complete model), US HMMWV SOV Model (Special Operations Humvee)." Is that possible?

I need to hop into the new Vietnam stuff as well.

Thanks again.

V/R,
Jack

Hey Jack
Yes totally, just put a note into the purchase request and I'll pick it up and mix it up in accordance to your request.
If you want to drop me an email also… we attempt to be flexible with our portfolio as much as possible.

Anton,

That's fantastic, thanks a bunch.

But I'm not ready to order yet, I've got to give the credit card a little cool-down time ;)

But I'll definitely be hitting you up for that set of troops and HMMWVs, and probably the Vietnam set too.

V/R,
Jack

Anton,

I just sent you an e-mail.

V/R,
