I am pleased to announce the sixth release of the new Gunslinger range from Flytrap Digital is available now, for those backing the Patron at the appropriate levels. This release concludes Phase 2, finishing off the Kojoti range with a Secruity team designed for sentry duty or expanding your rifle teams. It also includes our second character team, the High Risk Contractors. This release has been very exciting to work from, and we’re so happy to be able to show off what we’ve been working on for this month.
The final two releases of the Kojoti phase are all based on the narrative we’ve been writing for the Kojoti arc (with an actual narrative document covering it coming soon). The arrival of Alexander Wallace in theatre as part of last month’s release has caused Team Chernoborg to escalate its extra-curricular activities – although good news for those paying for these extra raids, bad news for those corporations on the other end of it.
This will all come to a head when Team Chernoborg finds itself under attack in its home base by a force that collectors of the first Gunslinger range might recognise. More details on this soon but for now, we thought we should give you the figures you’ll need.
It’s just before dawn when you and your boys are awoken by the sound of the gates to your fortified compound, way before your shift is due to start. Outside you hear the sound of gunfire, the pops of suppressed small arms mixed in with the larger barks of the heavy machine guns guns. In the haze and confusion, you and your team grab your rifles, throw on your vests if you can find them and move out. Someone shouts about helicopters on the roof – it’s probably bullshit but one of the senior Copors tells you to get your ass in gear and go sweep up the stairs to damaged and abandoned upper floors of the admin building.
For the Kojoti Security team, we decided to assemble a set of figures both to fit the role of sentries/guards/obstacles to be brutally stabbed in the back by your opponent’s stealthy operatives but also to be able to expand your existing force with a few more riflemen. Thanks to our inspiration we had a lot of examples to pull ideas from for these less well-equipped figures, so much in fact that Anton sculpted an extra rifleman to build up the pack.
That said, this is a security team – if we didn’t go hard on the theme, we wouldn’t be doing our jobs. For this reason, two of the figures are in an advanced state of undress, perfect to sell the narrative of troops defending a base under attack, jumping into combat from a state of unreadiness. Topless man on the right has grabbed his AK from where he was hanging out and showing his guns while Calvin Klien in the centre represents the impact of a large Eastern European man who, having been interrupted from his shower, has just stepped out of the water, strapped on the essentials (vest, boots, underwear, helmet), grabbed his PKP and set out with his war-face on ready to defend the base.
The pack also includes six heads, compatible with any other body that supports the HYDRA system. These heads are ideal for mixing in with previous Kojoti releases, letting you make your force look truly unique with the variety of heads for your scruffy ea
High Risk Contractors have been called many things. Crazy, suicidal, adrenaline junkies lusting after their next fix. For many people who prove themselves worthy of purchasing the distinctive custom high-tech bullet-resistant masks and matching suits of armour, these labels are 100% accurate. However, these labels can’t distract from the fact that these former soldiers are among the highest-paid contractors on the planet, or overshadow the list of exploits these heavily armoured psychopaths have managed. From being deployed en-masse to assist in the confiscation and decommissioning of Russian nuclear devices during the Collapse to smaller operations where pairs and trios of High Risk Contractors have managed to hold off vastly superior forces, these operatives are in high demand in the corporate sector among those groups able to afford the cost of hiring such highly effective assets.
Since I started Ultramodern Wargaming, there have been a few sets I’ve always wanted to get my hands on and put on my tabletop. Thanks to the release of the High Risk Contractors, I can finally tick one of them off.
Taking the inspiration from the early 2010s, we have updated the concept for 2030, outfitting the squad with a next-generation assault rifle. Additionally, each member is equipped with tools specific for their role – Taylor with a slung M320 and wrapped in 40mm shells, McCauley with a shotgun and slap charges, Rodriguez with a rescue saw and other hard breaching gear, and finally Ilsa with all the equipment a medic may need
Of course, we can’t have a release without the files being pre-supported so you can all starting as fast as possible. Once again Dan from Desk-Ops.de performed sterling work getting these figures prepared and test printed to make sure all the figures are good to go.
Speaking of Dan’s work, he has also been preparing a rescale of the entire Gunslinger range to make sure we are compatible with the market and show off Anton’s sculpting to the best it can be. We’ve settled on a scale that is 105% of the original releases. Going forward into Gunslinger V2, all figures will be released natively at the new scale, but if you wish to update your existing sets, you can scale up in your preferred slicer and take
If you want to get these figures yourself, they are available now at https://www.patreon.com/flytrapfactory Patrons at the new “Gunslinger 2030 Tier” or higher will get 11 figures in total (as well as 10 separate heads). The items are delivered both supported and unsupported to help you get printing. To assist with basing, the figures have a peg in their foot to provide support either by drilling through the base or sanding the peg down to make a large contact area without requiring too much additional material.
If you don’t have access to a 3D printer, no worries! As mentioned above, we have a partnership with Desk-Ops.de – Desk-Ops is our exclusive Print on Demand provider for the EU (although shipping worldwide). In December, this month’s release will be joining the other sets currently available via POD on his website, letting you get your hands on these figures with the only issue being having to wait for the mail.
We have a few things planned out for the rest of this month (alongside a break for Christmas) but don’t worry, we’ll be performing a deep dive on each the sets we haven’t covered so far. For now though, don’t forget to check out the Linktree above for all the places you can find Gunslinger online – we have pages on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, each one providing sneak peeks as to what is coming next, as well as some more shots of these figures in action.
Come January, we’ll be launching Gunslinger V2 – the next evolution in what we can provide to our Patrons.
