Updated: Added The Squad from Special Forces<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the joys of ultramodern military wargaming is the absolutely massive amount of reference material. Reality is obviously a starting point but modern and near future can pull from a huge number of different media sources, from games to movies to tv shows. There is also a huge range of manufacturers out there and most of them can fit together nicely in terms of scale (weapons and heads seem to be the main different points). Even so, there are a few holes in releases that need filling. In particular, there are a few things that I would love to have on the tabletop, most of these are from games and films seeing as history seems pretty decently covered.<\/p>\n

So some of these might already exist, if so I have missed them I would love to be pointed to some cool figures.<\/p>\n

I’ll keep this post updated as more items come to mind.<\/p>\n

Strike Back<\/h3>\n

\"Strick-Back-S3-a\"<\/p>\n

There are five seasons of this show to pull from with missions ranging from fully uniformed UKSF raids in season 1 to deniable ops\u00a0into foreign countries. Some of these are already covered by certain ranges but one of the big things about the show are more unusual bits of kit (most commonly from the crew filming in South Africa and the Czech Republic). Even better, they seem to go up against every possible OPFOR in the book so you can never struggle to find an opponent.<\/p>\n

Overall, the series is great example of the sheer variety of special forces\u00a0operators you could possibly do. And there is even the chance of tiny Robson Green running your ops!<\/p>\n

The Modern Warfare Series – Almost Everything!<\/h3>\n

I wonder how many people have started collecting modern day miniatures after playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and the rest of the series. I know it played a big part in my interest in the hobby, wanting to re-enact the cool missions seen on the screen.<\/p>\n

I could do a cop out and say that every faction should be represented on the top but a fair amount is already there – most of the US Army and Marines can be plucked from Empress’s excellent range and many of the\u00a0Special Forces guys can come out of Spectre’s, the new Rangers basically matching some of the Delta Force from MW3. Opfor can be seen in Empress’s Insurgent range while the selection of PMC’s and plain clothes SF \u00a0available from everyone at the moment look close enough to the Loyalists and Inner Circle in MW3. So where does that leave us in terms of cool people needing models?<\/p>\n

\"Shadow\"<\/p>\n
