Dirty Deeds

15mm SWAT from Rebel Minis

When I first got these, I painted them a dark blue for use as SWAT (above), but recently repainted them as contractors. I'm happier with them now. They'll see use as contractors, MNU, SpecOps, etc. They need some transport.

I've painted a few guys' helmets tan to mark them as fireteam leaders.

The figures are OK; not much variety in equipment or poses; a smidgen on the small side when next to other figures, enhanced by the crouching poses. You don't really notice it on the tabletop.

Aren't you a little short for a SWAT trooper?

Incidentally, I noted a comic coming out next year, 'The Blackwater Chronicles':

15mm Blaze Away characters

These six 15mm figures are from Blaze Away miniatures.

I've painted the figure on the far left as a Marcinko-esque PMC leader. The next two I'll be using as Ardistani National Police.

Afghan National Police

The guy in shorts is some sort of Aussie/ Kiwi/ South African contractor, and the man in black is a ringer for the bad guy in 'Black Hawk Down'.  On the right, an officer for my Ardistani National Army.

The figures are a good match for Peter Pig.
