Do or Die! Gung-ho! Gung-ho!

I finished up the last of my modern United States Marines. Well, the infantry. I do have a pair of M1 Tanks to give them some heavy (on table) support, and I’d like to pick up a pair of AAVP-7A1 and some HMMWVs (from Imprint Models), but that’ll have to wait until I sell some minis…

I finished up 28 of them (two squads), but here’s the whole force:

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):

With a few exceptions noted below the bulk of this force is from Eureka Miniatures USA.

I have a platoon of three squads (each with three fireteams of four plus a squad leader and a guy carrying a device for scrambling IEDs...?), and a platoon command of four. There are some EOD, Force REcon and Snipers I can also attach to the force. 

First Squad

Second Squad

Third Squad

Platoon command (from Empress Miniatures) consisting of a platoon commander, 2IC, Radio Operator and an attached Naval Corpsman. (ARe they still Naval Corpsmen? Or are they just "Marine Medics" now?)

EOD Team (also from Empress Miniatures)

Snipers - the prone fellow is from  Eureka Miniatures USA and the standing guy is from The Assault Group 

Marine Force Recon patrol.



I also have an additional Naval Corpsman from Victory Force Miniatures. He's quite gigantic next to the others...

As mentioned I do have a could of plastic 1/48 scale plastic M1 tank models to assemble and paint for these guys… and would like to pick up two AAVP-7A1 and 3-4 HMMWVs (for a recce patrol) and maybe a LAV-25.

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Hmmmmmm… hard to say… I have a handful of modern Africans that just arrived from The Assault Group that I’m anxious to do up as they are a small addition to an otherwise complete force…. I also still have a handful of zombies to finish up… I also have a couple of old Aurora Monster Movie Models that I’m going to assemble and paint for a friend that I want to get so soon-ish…

I’ll probably finish up the Africans and Zombies first, then get cracking on The Mummy!
