Somali Militia 2: The New Batch

This is the second group of 28mm Somali gunmen, now with distinctive and somewhat menacing scarves to cover faces, plus some longer pants and extra kit here and there to impart a more military look.
These will be available from Eureka Miniatures.

The leader figure gets a Chi-com chest-rig, while the RPG gunners have some fancy backpacks now.

You can mix 'em with the unmasked militants to create some variety, or use them as some sort of full-time insurgent group. I usually don't do straight up head-swaps but have made an exception with the Somalis since I really wanted them finished and off the workbench as soon as possible. 
I'm looking forward to painting these so expect to see some painted examples soon.
