So the last of my 2011 Mountain of Lead was finally painted up yesterday.
These are Thompson Security Products's finest. Thompson Security Products is a private military contractor (PMC) providing high-quality protection for facilities and personnel in parts of the world where the local security situation may be sub-optimal. They can also arrange for kinetic extractions when necessary. They're a pricey outfit but every Security Associate is an ex-Special Forces member (SEALs, SAS, GSC 9, etc.) so it's well worth the money.
Anyway, I really liked painting up these guys. The figures are from Rebel Minis and they include a hostage and two businessmen so we've got someone to rescue/protect.
So yeah, the 2011 mountain is gone. Now the 2012 mountain is rolling in. I've got that Soviet army pack and 25mm fantasy figures I picked up at HAVOC and I've got more insurgent stuff coming in. Going over the scenario books I have, I need another batch of insurgent foot troops and a few heavy weapon teams (mortars, snipers, etc.). The Americans are getting some Hummers and sniper teams. Once this portion of the mountain is finished I've got about 30 scenarios I can just pull guys and go play. The US/Insurgent forces will be complete for all practical purposes and then I can focus on painting up stuff for WWIII scenarios.
later
Tom
