All,
Continuing my series of posts showcasing various manufacturer’s modern 15mm offering, I hereby present Rebel Minis’ Modern US Infantry. The figs are relatively cheap, well cast (clean), nice and chunky with plenty of gear, though detail on a few of the rifles is a little soft. Overall, excellent figures that I’m happy to have, and they painted up quick and easy.
I plan on using them as Rangers for Somalia in 1993, though this is not correct as all the M-16s have ACOGs on them; the figures look to be perfect for 2001 to maybe 2006 or 7, and so I painted them up in the Desert Tri-Color cammies; I think it turned out well, except all the troops look like they just left Cash Sales (for the uninitiated: they all look like they’re wearing brand new uniforms, the colors are too crisp, no fading at all). I painted them as having Interceptor vests, but in Woodland camo as common in 2003, and as the Rangers’ “RBA” in 1993, and black (as opposed to sand-colored) goggles.
A look at some squad leaders. To see the whole force, please check the blog at:

I’ll be posting more soon, but for now I’m off on another mini-vacation with the family, so everybody take care and be back soon. I can’t help myself, so I’ll be checking the forums and blogs on my phone, so feel free to comment 😉
V/R,
Jack
