Hello all. I've been scouring the internet for miniatures to use in a solo modern skirmish game. I picked up 21st century heroes from Micro Tactix which has some swat models and a few people that will work as criminals for them to fight. I've also found junior general which I'll use when I want to branch out into some more varied settings. I've also found tomoko's steel warriors line that I'll probably use at some point. It's not exactly modern but I like the look of it and I've been playing with some ideas for ways to organize a campaign for it in my head. I also found tomoko's free caliber fanart which is pretty much exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for (just sans a criminal element for the soldiers to fight).
Anyway, long story short, while I pretty much have what I need it would still be cool to have some more stylized modern special forces units and some matching bad guys for them to fight.

Muchas gracias, I'm silly and actually just missed the existence of the search tab at the top there.

Honestly, many forums have search functions that are bad. When I discovered how good this one is, I knew I would be around for a while. hackbarth had the Caviero de Bope, or something like that, and some figures, too. TerraForce could give you some good results, too. Are you set for a game mat or tiles, buildings and props?

Thank you very much, I found the Bope figures on the swat search and I really like those. Next thing'll be to find some crims in a similar enough style and I think I'll be pretty much set.
I've found a bunch of vehicles and settings things that look really cool, but I'm a complete noob, so right now my main focus is to just get models I like and get practiced running the games, make sure I really enjoy it. I'm just using household items and my imagination for cover and props and such. I wanna build up my collection of setting things over time, as my understanding of the game(s) themselves becomes more complex and I wanna introduce more complex things into them.
That said I'd appreciate any suggestions you have for things like that. Anything I can reference in the future would be a tremendous help.

Four rows up from the bottom of the "Downloads" page on the left are "Traficantes." They might be useful to you frictionmakesfire.

cowboyleland Thank you very much. Those should make good criminals for the Bope figures to go after I think.

I wanna point out how awesome it is that a new guy can rock up on the forum with a request and within a few hours be directed to free resources that do exactly what he was looking for and do it well. This really is one of the best communities on the internet. Thank cowboyleland and Vermin King for helping me and thank you hackbarth as I believe you're the artist that made both of these sets.

Fortuitously, you have requested pieces that are already available. It is much easier to point to them than to create them

okumarts Those are awesome. I had come across the set at some point I believe but I didn't know how extensive the riot police would be covered. I really like your art style so I'm gonna need to go through all your collection I think.

This really is one of the best communities on the internet. To echo the sentiment of Vermin King in the shout box we are family. These people are absolutely f!@#ing amazing.

okumarts also does a couple of useful sets of civilians in his Save the Day range.
mesper Permes Gunslingers, Urban are good for CIA guys and gun runners etc
I tend to use Slick Miniatures Modern Troops for well, modern troops. The uniforms are available in multiple cammo types and they come in sets with US Eastern block and European weapons.
