Eshin grey as the base colour, black contrast over the top and then I hit it with my usual heavy Iraqi Sand drybrush. I was definitely worried about them looking boring, but the addition of the red shemaghs, orange glasses and the designs on the masks definitely make them more interesting to look at. Also the G36 in this pattern (with the IDZ stocks and the LLM above the barrel) is super cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely going to print some more of these guys, switching up the modular parts to increase variety and add in some 417s for long range punch. My idea is that these guys are some of the troopers belonging to the Bazi Special Forces, either as a private group belonging to a specific prince or a SAS Counter Terrorism equivalent. I&#8217;m leaning towards the government look &#8211; I think these guys look a little bit too well trained to be some private army of a spoiled rich kid. And it sets them up to be used in some Elites vs Elites gun battles (once I finish the scenario).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC00256.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC00256.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC00256-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>From L to R: Spectre Insurgent Killteam, Spectre Criminal Heavy, Turnbase PMC, Combat Octopus KSK, Spectre Insurgent PMC, Empress US SF, Turnbase Robot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of, here are the various Special Forces you might find in Bazistan (yes, including the robot).
