Dressed in western civilian clothes and in a mixture of mildly nakred, very narked and &#8220;I&#8217;m going to post this on TikTok&#8221; poses, this is definitely a good start to any crowd of angry civilians your troops may encounter. They look like they will also work pretty well both in the crowd shown above and individually spotting your operators as they get into position. We have similar packs from Spectre before (the gentleman in the centre is definitely similar in style to one you can see in the Spectre rulebook), but these will be updated to the newer digital sculpts. It also looks like we&#8217;ll be getting some workmen-style figures intended to represent oil rig workers or ship crew (hopefully no being too expendable to the players).

This set includes many items fans of BPRE28mm might recognise (such as the radial template and the act\/frag chits) but also includes many items specific to _NearPresent.

These figures carry a mix of weapons, though they focus primarily on the CZ Bren 2 in 7.62x39mm (an unusual variant the GIGN chose for various purposes); we also get a shield bearer with a suppressed MP7 and a breacher with a semi-auto Benelli. As with most Black Hills Games releases, the set lets you pick between various modular head options, including the classic visor look beloved by anyone who played Counter-Strike.

Inspired by a certain Boston-set crime film, the set is a group of robbers in nun outfits with masks and a selection of firepower. These guys are definitely not the highest-end criminals, but can definitely put some rounds down with the assault rifles and suppressed SMGs. No further details on their modular nature at this time (I&#8217;m guessing not), but if you want some robbers on the street, this is a good set to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

its new set of Modern Insurgent Militia fighters. This release is a large 25-figure set, including a mixture of leaders, rifles and various support weapons to let you start building up forces ready for the tabletop. Split across three packs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/object\/3d-print-modern-middle-eastern-insurgents-1-15mm-28mm-844043\">Insurgents 1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/object\/3d-print-modern-middle-eastern-insurgents-2-15mm-28mm-844052\">Insurgents 2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/object\/3d-print-modern-middle-eastern-insurgents-weapons-group-15mm-28mm-844054\">the Weapons Group<\/a>), these figures are designed for 15mm but also work scaled up to 20mm and 28mm. There is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/object\/3d-print-modern-middle-eastern-insurgent-militia-cell-10mm-844061\">additional pack with all the figures rescaled to 10mm<\/a>, ideal for those who prefer the smaller scale warfare. Future releases will add even more combat elements, with snipers, FALs, sappers and mortars all mentioned. The rest of September is going to be a return to the sci-fi and Vietnam, although the Future Mercs could definitely work their way into Ultramodern games<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=965187363  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"775\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31472\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1058\/h:775\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1058w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:110\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:563\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to support my work on gathering the news together,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog\">my Patreon<\/a>&nbsp;is the best way to keep things going.
