Spectre Miniatures Show Off More Painted Modern Troops!
October 9, 2014 by brennon
Spectre Miniatures have been painting up and showing off some of their core miniatures that came out of their successful Kickstarter earlier in the year.
The miniatures and the scenes above focus in on three main factions for the game that include the stealthy SAS, the rag tag but dangerous African Militia and the hardy Private Military Contractors that will no doubt get stuck right in the middle.
Last but not least we have a painted version of the PMC Technical that they've been working very hard on over the past few weeks. I love the mud splatter effect they've managed to get going and it looks very realistic, especially the work on the windows!
According to their Kickstarter updates they should be ready for launch very soon indeed.
Will you be trying your hand at some modern era military gaming?
The thing about ‘modern’ gaming is the manufacturers cannot keep up with the latest kit the military are swanning around in, though I have to say they are doing a better job of it than they used to – it used to be that you have a few recent models and everything else was what was current 20 years ago… maybe as there are a lot more military modelling companies out there as well as wargames suppliers.
I like the concept, and there aren’t a lot of African militia mini’s out there, to my knowledge. For realism, I suppose they could add some younger boy soldiers as well, all armed with the ubiquitous AK-47 and RPG’s of various flavours.
As for the figures themselves, some look reasonable, but others look like they’ve had some chromosome issues. Meh.
