Cold War Tabletop Wargaming

As cold war minis are not as ubiquitous as WW2 or fantasy minis i made a list for sourcing everything needed. I will try to keep the list updated. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

The List:

  • QRF Miniatures: Large source for 15mm vehicles and minis, including minor nations

  • Skytrex Miniatures: Some US, British and Soviet vehicles, including rarer Soviet command, FIST and radar vehicles

  • Battlefront Miniatures: Team Yankee range, basic range of infantry and vehicles for major and some minor nations, including plastic miniatures

  • Peter Pig Miniatures: Vietnam War miniatures for both sides, including vehicles. “Modern Africa” range, suitable for African conflicts

  • Quality Castings: Nice ranges for WP vehicles and Infantry, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Mid-East forces, US and British.

  • Flashpoint Miniatures: Large range of Vietnam era miniatures, 90s era US miniatures (Ranger/Delta Force), Somalians and Taliban

  • Roskopf Modelle: Good source for West-German vehicles, must be sourced from eBay though, because the company is defunct.

  • Oddzial Osmy: Good source for Polish and Soviet infantry

  • Thingiverse and Cults: Quite a lot of free vehicles can be downloaded, and 3D printed from there.

  • Etsy and Shapeways: Some useful 3D prints can be bought there.

  • Wargaming 3D: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there

  • ArmyBits: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there in addition to resin and metal models. A good variety of British, Soviet (Including VDV and Speznas) and US minis, including towed artillery and their crews.

  • Faller, Noch, Auhagen, Vollmer, Kibri: H0 scale buildings and accessoires, which also fit 1:100/15mm scale wargaming. Very useful for Cold War Germany/Central Europe.
