Insurgents have been added to Skirmish Sangin
July 16, 2014 by stvitusdancern
Radio Dish Publishing, the creators of Skirmish Sangin, a modern tabletop skirmish wargame, have announced the release of their insurgents miniatures by Empress Miniatures.
I have been keeping my eye on this game for awhile and now I think it might be time to pull the trigger (pun intended) and try out these rules and get into the fray of modern day combat.
This is the first set of miniatures for the insurgents and we can expect more to come.
The unfortunate thing right now, at least for me is that they are only available in the UK with US release later in the year. Oh, well this gives me time to prepare scenery for a real good looking table.
Will you be adding some insurgents into your battles?

This is very exciting! I’ve been eying this game for a while now
Very cool! Not to seem trite, but I might even convert these for truescale Tallarn. Once you discover how goofy truescale looks, it tends to distract from the model.
sorry I mean heroic scale looks a bit naff, I’ve had a few. 😛
Empress already have their own ranges of Taliban and insurgents which are very good http://www.empressminiatures.com/userimages/procart39.htm http://www.empressminiatures.com/userimages/procart41.htm
Eureka miniatures also do a range of modern Afghans that mix well with the Empress ones

I think all of these are currently available in the US.
Eureka has a eureka usa website for cheaper shipping costs.
Are these 15mm for FoW? If they’re 28mm the quality just isn’t there for me.
They’re 28mm, personally I prefer the ones by Empress themselves and the Eureka ones – but it’s all individual taste.
The only note of caution about the painting of the figures above, is that the shalwar kameez (long baggy shirt and trousers) both shirt and trousers should always be the same colour.
I am a US Skirmish player and have the Empress and Eureka miniatures. Taliban, Insurgents, USMC, and US Army. Great mini’s, awesome game. Looking forward to picking up these new baddies.
And the winner of the bin laden competition goes to???
