I have a ton of those figures and am building them for Twilight 2000 games. As I get them painted up to a standard I am happy with....I'll put them up. The only pack I have never been able to find is pack 408 sadly.

Rebel Minis - Mike Renegar do decent 15 mm minis of various types -including a nice Spetznas contingent .

I order some packs from them ,and got them to add a paintjob too.

I thought I got great value for money .

Good service .

I just use my Warhammer 40 Imperial Guard figures...they work pretty well.

That is actually a really clever idea.

I just bought the Warhammer 40K RPG by the way... I miss face to face gaming and maybe I can convince someone to play in a campaign of this with me.

I generally use Valhallans for Soviets, Caidians as Americans, and Catachans as PCs. Assorted plastic toy vehicles of roughly comparable size are fairly inexpensive and relatively easy to find when I am not in the mood to scratch-build a specific vehicle.

For a big battle (such as at the end of The Ruins of Warsaw) we played it out using HO-scale figures on the gaming room floor.

We use Axis & Allies minis from WotC...they work well, as long as you don't mind subbing WWII vehicles & uniforms for TW2K models...

The ideal range for you would surely be Peter Pig's AK47 range?

And you can get some very nice buildings from Timecast:

Make sure to check out the SE Asia range - there's some pretty good little buildings in that range.

I have some Battlefront WWII 15mm on the painting table but they don't really do much for me (the figures are nice but 20th Century uniforms are dull - I much prefer painting my Napoleonics to be honest. But these PP figures always look pretty good. I'm told the rules make for a fun campaign as you faction struggles to rule your fantasy Third World country.

I have a pile of 1/72 plastic soldiers. They don't hold paint as well, but more bang for the buck, just under 50 for less than $10 normally. Vehicles range from $8-$20.

a lot of great minis there ,I instantly wanted several packs , but there is one major issue - Rebel Minis has a deal with a guy that does a tremendous paint job if you ask nicely ,and I got them ready painted and based on pennys straight out of the pack .I have not the time,skill or inclination to do any model painting ..

Hi,
While wandering around Ebay I came across this lot:
