"Peter Pig 15mm Modern USMC - Temperate MARPAT" Topic

All,

And here is the second post in my blogpost festival. These are Peter Pig 15mm Modern US Marines; I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with them with regards to gaming, but they will see the table sooner rather than later as I absolutely love these figures and I've got too many ideas for modern campaigns. Awhile back I painted up a few test figures: one in Temperate Marine Pattern (MARPAT) camouflage, one in Desert MARPAT, one in Arctic clothing, and one in Desert Tri-Color cammies with green gear and body armor. I solicited comments on the look of the camo… and received none, so I went with what I thought looked right, and so here we are, a platoon (roughly) of Marines in Temperate MARPAT.

The whole force, 23 Marines with various weapons and poses. I bought one set of each: standing rifle, kneeling rifle, signalling M-203, firing M-203, moving M-249, firing M-249, AT4, one of the leader packs, and a pack of Navy Corpsmen. I divided them into four equal groups (with a couple spares) and painted them up. I wish I'd bought more so I would have done larger platoons, but these will work. The concept I'm working with is a single platoon of Marines that I'll follow through adventures in temperate, tropical, desert, and arctic climates.

Well, that's all until tomorrow. Let me know what ya think, and I'll keep working on writing up these batreps.
