ANZACS and the return of 'Them', ( & Cthulu Kong, Goldylocks etc!))
SAS , Boxers the Final Moderns.
I have finally finished the rabbit hole on moderns and Forgotten ruins that tangented off Black Suns.
I had painted up Spec Minatures Task Force figures, and was going to use them for SAS, then Ben in one of his reviews of their latest releases .mentioned dedicated SAS, so one order later!
Now I was initially undecided whether to paint them for night Ops and all in Black, to avoid doing multi cammo… but wanted a more generic scheme so back to Multi Cammo.
I had done both the British Squaddies and Task Force this way, but felt the base colour was a bit to green, when looking at the cammo on line photos.
Therefore this time my base colour was GW Apothecary Grey with a dab of Green to give a pale green base.
I also brought the SAS in mufti Civilian kit, to add one more team to the Empress miniatures team I had. All a relaxing set of base Speedpaints and Contrast Colours, particularly as I opted for using Speed Paints Grim Black for Tactical vests and kit.
I had decided I needed another vehicle for my Modern British, and looked around, as didn’t fancy another Warrior. I was considering a FV432, but whilst looking at options on ebay found someone doing a Boxer and went for that even though the British Army hasn’t got any yet!
Now I know this gives me a spread of vehicles that in theory shouldn’t be serving together, but I work on theory the British Army has a habit of digging old bits of kit if needed from armouries in times of dire need.
So anyway that is the Moderns Interlude, done so back to the main menu.
