Im beginning my adventure into modern military gaming. Some parts of it really appeal to me. Granted they plan to be used in a zombie game but other modern games they will work.

Models that look like the following...I want the ski mask or the helmet with the mask covering as I have a theme idea how I want to paint them up.

I have looked at the Spec Ops from Warlord Games, but they only have a very limited amount of ski mask heads. If anyone knows a company that does modern military heads like the ones below also that would be great for head swaps

If its a full model im looking for something that is atomically correct. Ive seen some modern guys that are very blob like and look like they were casted in the 1970s

Have a look at Spectre Miniatures.
Hasslefree Miniatures have some modern troopers. They do appear to sell heads separately, but are out of stock right now.

There's also the Tactical Miniatures SWAT Team from Armorcast.

Armorcast guys are nice. Little on the expensive side for metal guys.

Specture has good minis, just the big goggle apparatus on the helmets are off putting.

The hasslefree heads are perfect. Id guy tons but yea out of stock.

Any other head options like that?

Empress miniatures do several excellent modern ranges but I don't know if they sell the heads separately.

Empress, as mentioned has some great figures. So does Eureka, their Seals and Marines are REALLY nice.

No masks (though the SEALs have the four lens NVGs).

Mad Robot do balaclava heads: https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_10&sort=20a&page=3&zenid=68f43d39c8b24c3ae85a86baab5de8fa

And have a lot of other useful stuff.

I advise you to take a look at Albino Raven Minis, very nice Russian style little green men !

Here is the 2 shops i use for my models, i play Cold war but they do have Ultra Modern.

Sorry my bad theese are 15mm

Go 20mm and use Elhiem Figures?

Then you can utilise all the 1/72 model kits and scenery...

That was my initial thought as well.

Second that, the best 20mm moderns around in my book. Loved the early 2000's us Iba range.

Dont forget the Vepa range from The Hobbyden...

Can't +1 enough. I got my Marine corps and iraqi's from Elhiem and can't recommend him enough. Great service, great prices and the TY note in the order was beyond awesome.
