Having just watched the inspiration, I realised that I really didn&#8217;t want to paint a load of guys in just straight black. Instead, I looked at my Commando Global Solution figures (the SAS from Empress) and tried to work out some schemes that kind of match while still being distinct. So far, I&#8217;ve only finished this chap with an AA12 and a german sounding name but I&#8217;m working on the others soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That\u2019s it for this update, expect more updates next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 28th of May\u00a0through to the 3rd of June.
