Battle and Brew: Pico Armor 3mm Moderns ready for deployment

After the holidays I was finishing up some WW2 micro armor and my thoughts turned toward extending into the modern era and doing something new. We game a lot with a mix of Heroics and Ros and GHQ. I decided my first step would be creating a Stryker Brigade and I thought maybe my moderns could be 3mm instead of 6mm. After checking out the Pico selection I ordered a mess of Strykers and support units. When I got them I was blown away. I haven't been this excited by a miniatures line since I saw my first Old Glory ACW package.

The detail on these Strykers is like nothing I've ever seen. Actually, I can't see it any more without magnification, but it was a blast to paint. The M1's were even more impressive. They have stowage on them that I don't want to paint yet, but could see popping out in all different types of colored gear everywhere.

The US Infantry actually have night vision goggles attached to their helmets. Wow. I've been a big fan of Pico Napoleonics and ACW so this seems like a natural progression for me. The selection and price point can't be beat. I also got my first air support and helos which are really neat. I'm pretty sure I'll be doing Viet Nam in this range soon.

You couldn't ask for a better group than the John's at Pico to work with. They take care of your order in a polite, timely manner and are always helpful with questions and notices. I feel like I get personal treatment with them which is rare anymore. It's especially nice when you want to branch out into a whole new line and period.

I'm starting with scenarios for the 2003 Iraq War and working backwards. I'm building up a variety of T72's that should get me started for any Arab & Israeli actions too.
