Taliban!

Even when compared to the lack of modern regular troops in plastic, the Taliban are hard hit. The four sets of irregular soldiers, Caesar Urban Resistors, Modern Militia, the pitiful Mars Mujaheddin set, and Orion Chechen Rebels really aren't suitable for these guys. 

The typical local Taliban militia will wear a Shalwar Kameez, and some type of headdress as a turban, or Khapul. Sometimes they wear just this, or a combat jacket or vest or chest rig over top of the shalwar kameez (Enduring Freedom FoF: Osprey publishing).

I really had neglected the accuracy of my modern bad guys until recently. I took a mix of the urban resistors, chechens, and a few Mars figures and converted them to better poses as well as added Khapuls and Shalwar Kameezes from air drying clay (with wood glue reinforcement of course). I then painted them in the common colors I see in other people's armies.

I love how the Chechen set turned out.

I realize now that hatlessness is forbidden by the Taliban. They are only a few of the figures though and I may fix them later on.

The two on the left have M81, and the other has a flora pattern combat vests.

These are some of my favorite. The Khapul on the lead figure came out the best.

A bad thing to see.

An old Mars (actually made from chopped up ESCI I think) figure as compared to the Orion Chechen: thank goodness for modern mold making... 

The whole force. I plan to use the more "western" looking guys as foreign fighters; that way they will be suitable for Afghan, Iraqi, and a countless number of "Arab spring" countries.
