Lots of Iraqis

I finished up 40 or so Iraqi soldiers this week - all in the Desert Storm/Iraqi Freedom era - from Liberation Miniatures- 20mm.

The first few pics are supposed to be 'Iraqi Special Forces'.  I recently read a book about how they 'stormed' into Kuwait back in 1991 and took Kuwait City.  Kinda cool really, except that they eventually got their asses kicked by one unit of US Marines who got trapped behind enemy lines.

The rest are all supposed to represent the Republican Guard.  They are mostly 'uniformed', but I wanted to highlight that even as Saddam's best troops, they were still a rag tag bunch.

Pretty good luck with faces this time around.

Tons of stuff on my painting desk now...ive got 7 pieces of armor that go with the Iraqis, 4 28mm zombies, a unit of 15mm Saracens from the Crusades, and a couple 15mm sci fi freebies that I got from Salute last year.  Ill never complete my lead mountain, but Im doing my best to whittle it down!
