Meet Spectre Miniatures’ Baba Yaga…And Don’t Kill His Dog!
March 16, 2020 by brennon
Spectre Miniatures has released two new sets for those diving into some modern wargaming. We lead the way with the rather ace looking Baba Yaga, a hired killer and assassin of legend who might be the one after the target you're protecting!
This fellow seems like the perfect character to throw into a scenario as a little bit of a wild card. I think you could have a lot of fun setting up a scenario as a games master where you're focusing on the protection of a vital asset. Both sides want to capture him in order to bring him in for questioning. However, someone has paid Baba Yaga to take out this target and you could unleash him onto the board, taking out both sides as he works his way through the streets.
Either that, or you could set up a fun little time trial style affair where someone gets to take control of Baba Yaga and try and kill everyone in a building in the fastest time? You could have a lot of fun with this particular addition to their range!
A Hazardous Affair
As well as Baba Yaga, the team at Spectre also released their Aftermath Kill Team which are an addition to their Criminal range.
This team comes armed with a range of regular assault rifles, machine guns and SMGs too. All of them are then clad in off-the-shelf hazmat suits and wearing gas masks which allow them to go unnoticed and avoid hazardous zones. I think these would be perfect for those diving in and playing scenarios where you might be running away from a bank job gone well/badly!
If you mixed both this team and Baba Yaga together you'd have the makings of a Hollywood movie scene!

Love the team in hazard suits! I’ll snag that one if there not already sold out!
I have “a” Baba Yaga, the team at Spectre sent me one with one of my larger orders some time ago. But if this one is different then I’ll order it too!
You can never have enough Modern Military Wargaming Minis.
templar, It is a new version of Baba Yaga compared to the one that came out last year for Adepticon / Salute
Thanks for the info! ?
Too soon?
Nah
The hazmat team could be good for many games aliens 3, fear the walking dead, stranger thing’s, type game’s
Or a scenario based around the events in The Division computer games.
Is that supposed to be their take on John Wick? I never bothered to see the movies, so I can’t tell if it is based on the references they’re making.
The hazmat guys look good too, though I’d see them as more of a rapid-response unit in a zombie scenario rather than a gang of criminals. If you’re going to hide your identity during a robbery, unless you’re the Joker or have a good getaway plan, easily-identified bright colors aren’t the best choice.
It is John Wick yes heh
“Yeah! I’m thinking i’m back!”
Love the hazmats too 😉
