Spectre Miniatures Outfit New Cartel Themed Starter Sets
May 9, 2017 by brennon
Looking to introduce people into the world of Spectre Operations, Spectre Miniatures has grouped together more of their models into two new Cartel themed Starter Sets.
This first Starter Set, Charlie, comes with these folks here who are dressed in their civilian attire to better blend in with the crowds. They might be protecting that VIP there in the middle as he goes about his business.
Arrayed against them are this lot, a group of their Cartel miniatures who might not be too happy with them trying to destabilise their operations.
These new kits come out at the perfect time with Ghost Recon: Wildlands still on some folks machines and provides a nice jumping off point for people to get stuck into modern era wargaming on the tabletop.
Alternative Options
You can also pick up the Delta box which comes with another set of their Operators which operate at the highest level, able to work on their own or in small groups against larger numbers.
Once again they have a lot of different Cartel members to fight against armed with all manner of different weapons.
One of the overriding principles of Spectre is that a well-trained soldier will be able to hold his or her own against a larger member of foes. This makes for highly tense games where you're using all manner of tools at your disposal to complete your objectives.
Each of these sets also comes with the Spectre Operations Rulebook to get you right into the action. You won't have to worry too much about balancing either as they've designed these sets to provide a challenge on the tabletop.
Oh, and their sets also come with 20mm round bases in them too now!
What do you think of the new sets?

The new sets are amazing. It looks like the mighty ‘El Roachos’ might rise in 28mm.
This is a serious question to Spectre: what do I have to do before you will stop trying to seduce me into 28mm? It’s not fair…
Keep up the good work.
a great mix of guys for different situations.
Anyone explain this weeks title?
Sorry, wrong thread!
haha, so what’s the title, interested now
tune in next week to find out? Da Da Da.
The last set is the ones I like the most.
Why the lack of female minis?
Because they are crap shots!
They do do some, the Salute exclusive from last year was a female model
I’m always a little conflicted with SPECTRE minis. I mean I LIKE the idea of painting modern people, without a fantasy or science fiction element… but then I remember they’re basically minis of Blackwater (now Xe) or DAESH, or Cartel members… and suddenly I have this song in my head all over again:

Please don’t take this as a criticism of the company; it’s not them, it’s me.
I rather like these. If there were some unarmed civilians for this setting, I’d be getting ideas.
