I don't want to sound overly callous here, but these are in fact combatants in the modern landscape, as distasteful as the subject might be. A scenario where a small unit commander is trying to stop a suicide jihadist (or ISIS) commando determined to kill himself is entirely withing the bounds of reality. Yet, there are no figures I can find that depict this type of individual. I'm not trying to be overly gorish or nihilistic, i do think it's a tragic turn of events, but still, I'm surprised I've never seen a purpose built figure for a suicide bomber. Anyone know if I'm wrong or not? V/R Walt O'Hara |

Not 28mm, but miniatures have been made… :)

Walt,
It is a valid scenario, but is a dedicated figure really needed? It seems that, by definition, a suicide bomber looks like any other civilian until he rips open his jacket. Unless you're playing solo, why not just use a standard civilian figure and secretly designate him/her as the bomber?

The militia grenadier pack from spectre probably has the best figure to use as a suicide bomber. The figure has a pouch on his chest full of grenades. link Devil Dog was the only company I have seen put out a suicide bomber, but they are no longer in production. You could try ebay or the flea markets at the conventions for old devil dog stuff. |

How about pretty much any figure with a flak vest, and then perhaps a head swap? |

Any civilian figure would; they want to blend in to be effective. |

IIRC The Assault Group had a 28mm bomber about 5 years ago. |
