<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis week saw yet another part in Project Humvee, looking at the new weapon options<\/a>. I’m really excited to see these come out, especially the weapon stations – I think I’ll be picking up a few more to upgrade some American armour I’m planning to pick up eventually. After all, can’t have a platoon of Marines without some heavy armour to back them up – going to need to get a War Pig on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiny Terrain’s next Kickstarter is rumbling closer (in fact it should be up later today). As part of this, the two main squads of new figures have been previewed. First up, we have the Russians<\/a>. This is a nice set of guys, packed full of AKs but with an SVD, PKM and some disposable RPGs for support weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other preview is for the OPFOR, the Chechens.<\/a> These guys are armed similarly to their Russian oppositions but clad in a very different style. For example, I think it would probably be frowned upon for the standard Russian trooper to bring a sword into battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally we have the preview video for the <\/a>Kickstarter itself<\/a>. All of the figures are from the same sculptor as the original range, giving you even more guys ready for the battlefield. From the descriptions on the images, there will be plenty of other support options to extend the squads. Keep an eye on the Tiny Terrain page for more details once the Kickstarter is up<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spectre returned to the release stage with a new set of specialists for the Cartel range.<\/a> We saw previews of these guys on the Colours table a few weeks ago, but it’s nice to see them now available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new release is seven figures. Each is on the store individually and, if you’re fighting other cartels or law enforcement south of the border, you are going to want these guys. Each figure is packed full of character (from the mad man with his dual MAC-10s to the soldato, bare chest exposed while holding his AUG one handed) and there is also a useful range of weapons. There are now two LMGs in the cartel range, as well as an AA12, a multiple grenade launcher and even one cartel member with a M82 – useful when your rival is rolling around in an armoured SUV<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, nothing. I’ve still got a lot of things I want to tidy up and, although I really like the look of the new Cartel fighters, I want to work out the best way to include them in my MENA\/African setting. I am also conscious of how many figures I have sat waiting to be painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, well almost nothing. I finally picked up the last volume of Black Powder Red Earth Yemen. I really like the series, although it has some flaws, and the Yemen run is the best so far. It has much more of a story to it rather than just operators thwacking people so it’s going to be exciting to see how the story wraps up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main hobby time this week was assembling the turrets all ready for Friday’s post. In fact, there were too many turrets (and not enough hobby time) so the turret gunners were put to one side to be saved for another post. You’ll be seeing those guys in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The building of B-Town continues as I keep working my way through my collection. This weekend saw it progress a bit more, with more MDF covered in textured paint and a few more air conditioning units on walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I also decided to get some figures that have been sat on my workbench finished off. Gazing around at the options, and thinking of my next game, I decided to grab the Spectre SWAT team and broke out the paints. I’ll talk more about them in the post but the plan is to paint them up using the PMC painting scheme. More details in Friday’s post<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it for this update, expect more updates next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 24th through to the 30th of October.
