In a move that I hope isn’t a guide for how the rest of the year will go, I have managed to start off the second month with two figures! Ideally, I’ll be working to something more like a Fibonacci sequence rather than just “month = figures painted” – although 144 figures in one month might be interesting. For now, let’s talk about these guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These two figures join the figure I painted last month<\/a>, adding two more low-profile agents to the mix. I like the contrast with the first guy, who looks very “Gunfighter-y”. In contrast, these two look a little more traditional undercover, with lightweight chest rigs and belts worn under outdoor clothing or jackets. The headsets, vital in close quarters or for communication, also show these guys have had a second to get geared up and ready for the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the M4-wielding figure, I love the cruiser-length shotgun slung across his back. Between that and the beard, he has the feel of some grizzled vet in the game, helped by the M4A1 being of the SOPMOD style (complete with the quad rail and SOCOM suppressor). I can see using this guy for both covert military and police action – he reminds me of some of the detectives from the breaching scene in the film Triple 9<\/a> or ready for the mean streets of an updated The Shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the SCAR marksman, I like the pose of him keying this radio mic while still keeping overwatch. For the SCAR itself, I actually went for colours that match the build I’m currently running in Tarkov – the black lower and tan upper (pulled together from parts found across a series of raids) is a cool look and a nice change from the usual visuals. I also decided to go for some camo on him – it’s been a while since I painted up some patterns, so I went simple with it. Desert DPM is nice and simple too – only two colours (Vallejo Iraqi Sand base and Vallejo Beige Brown for the darker areas) and a wash, with most of the visual coming from capturing the swish <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, I forgot to get the exact paints on each model but they are very similar to those used on the first model<\/a>. I’m currently working through my GW selection, both to find which ones have dried out in their time since I last painted and which ones I actually use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Next on the paint list is getting some figures together for test games of Project Elements. I’ve pulled out the Spectre Task Force Operators to make a high-end team but I’ve also still got a set of Combat Octopus NAWE guys on my desk… and they did add some Marksmen and Direct Fire Support figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
