Spectre Get New Drone Operators Ready For A New Form Of Warfare
October 30, 2018 by brennon
Spectre Miniatures has put together a new set of releases for both their Tier One Operators and Insurgent forces. Both are getting access to new Drones which can be used to strike and survey the area from afar, keeping their Operators out of harm.
The first of the Drone Operators you can see here comes with one of the smaller machines that could be used to hum up into the skies and watch for oncoming enemy forces.
These are so small and manoeuvrable that they are unlikely to be seen by the enemy AND they will be giving you a heads up about a potential ambush.
However, due to the fact that these machines are quite easy to pick up, of course, the Insurgents you're going to be fighting against will have them too.
Included within this package of releases are not just these smaller drones that you see here but also some larger strike drones which could be used to blast the enemy from afar, not just monitor their movements.
Another important aspect of warfare has also been in robotics and so you have pieces like this MAARS Robot that can be used by forces out in the Middle-East and beyond to help them with very hazardous locations.
These are going to be very interesting to see used on the tabletop as they change up the warfare develops, taking away the risk to human beings and instead opens up interesting challenges for both the users and their foes.
Armoured Assault
Sometimes you don't want to be stealthy however and just need to be dumped right into the middle of the action. That is where the big new BMP1 comes in!
That is a rather awesome looking armoured vehicle to throw into the mix. You will now have a big chunky piece of metal between you and the enemy.
Will you be checking these new releases out?

Those look really nice.
Very prominent in army’s today.
I find this release to be a little hit and miss. The drone operators look great, the MAARS robot is interesting, the BMP1 is too bland and not up to Spectre Miniatures excellent HMV standards. I understand why there are no pictures of the Puma UAV in this article. It looks awful, like a WW11 glider made of soap. Dont’get me wrong I love SM’s range especially the UKSF and US Rangers.
