"6mm Security Contractors?" Topic

I'm working on doing 6mm Iraq/Afghanistan theater force on force games and have been looking for suitable figures for PSC forces; infantry and Suburban type SUVs (pickups are covered by GHQ's technicals). Any suggestions?

H&R in their newly sculpted ranges make a couple of vehicles that would suit. These are much nicer than their older H&R vehicles

BM71 Range Rover
JM01 Toyota Pickup

irregular has a few in their 6mm riot range might be some useful items on shapeways

ghq puts out a modern nice box set.

Thanks for the tip on the H&R vehicles. It's hard to determine what's new vs old on their site. I'll see what I can find on shapeways, that place is awful to browse. Any infantry suggestions. I had considered mixing some of GHQ's isis minis on a base with more obvious western looking infantry to get that militarized civilian contractor look, civil clothes with vests and balaclava

Sorry for slight threadomancy, but I am also looking into something for use as 6mm PMCs.

My advice – based off what I've looked at? I am going for a mixture of GHQ's Vietnam era US infantry and Modern German infantry 2001-2013. Both are relatively 'cleanskin' on their backs, which fits well with Mercs as photos usually show them without big backpacks.

I am also considering throwing in some "Brushfire Warrior" or Sub-Saharan infantry with AK-47s and M16s for a solid mix as well.

Paint them in 'typical' colours (I am using black clothing and beige/ cream webbing etc) and they'll mix well enough for your purposes :)
