Afghan insurgents with heavy weapons

In January, I painted two additions to my modern Afghanistan collection. Both were also used as entries in the current AHPC. In detail, I added a 12.7mm Dshk MG and an SPG-9 73mm Recoilless Rifle to my Insurgents force.

The first weapon team operates a 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun on an AA mount. Besides his age, this weapon system is still a staple in most warzones.

The second weapon team crews an SPG-9 73mm Recoilless Rifle. Again this is a classic piece of equipment.

All the miniatures are from Eureka Miniatures. I had a great time building and painting them. There are still more Empress Miniatures on my lead pile, but that’s a story for another day. So stay tuned, and as always happy wargaming!
