The first wave of SAS figures are replacing the older CQB and Low Profile sets, with other pieces to follow. Both sets have been developed with the assistance of current and former UKSF operators, which leads to some touches that you otherwise only really see if you have found some of the small collection of publicly available imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And oh boy are these new figures nice. <a href=\"https:\/\/spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/sas-cqb-element\">The CQB set<\/a> is exactly what you would expect &#8211; KS1s covered in all sorts of accessories (including plenty of GBRS), helmet with hearing protection and a selection of rails and strobe setups (NVGs are separate) and the operators themselves, with high speed plate carriers and equipment designed for short and brutal engagements rather than sustainment. There is also a good mix of poses, with both those at the front ready to engage and the rest moving in behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482113970_18444737824076674_4097477899654644420_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482113970_18444737824076674_4097477899654644420_n.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482113970_18444737824076674_4097477899654644420_n-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482113970_18444737824076674_4097477899654644420_n-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482113970_18444737824076674_4097477899654644420_n-1024x791.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite set, though, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/sas-low-profile-element\">SAS Low Profile Team<\/a>. A lot of the gear is the same, but the figures are dressed down, helmets and tactical clothing ditched in favour of civilian clothing and baseball caps. There is a good mix of looks for each operator, with both clothing and head tweaks to make them feel more individual, just what you want for a small team. Personally I&#8217;d like to see a few more supporting weapons to assist the carbines so fingers crossed for the releases ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1728\" data-id=\"30865\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n-125x150.jpg 125w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n-768x922.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n-1280x1536.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482405273_18444737833076674_3431934851206894135_n-1024x1229.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1113\" data-id=\"30866\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482114941_18444737845076674_6867357359901161251_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482114941_18444737845076674_6867357359901161251_n.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482114941_18444737845076674_6867357359901161251_n-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482114941_18444737845076674_6867357359901161251_n-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/482114941_18444737845076674_6867357359901161251_n-1024x791.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to what had been teased, we also got some stranger additions. All ready to protect your HVT (perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/objectives\/products\/the-architect-stl\">The Architect<\/a> and his vape pen), this pair of corporate security figures with Vectors is just what you need for protection without cramping your style. The Vectors are also pretty handy for close quarters fighting. To go with them, there is the Tes&#8230; I mean <a href=\"https:\/\/spectreminiatures.com\/collections\/new\/products\/the-edison\">the Edison<\/a>. This high tech, super &#8220;cool&#8221;, next generation electric vehicle is&#8230;. Okay look, we all know what it is. We also all know how much people are wanting them (the Corporate Regular Opponent keeps whispering &#8220;CyberTruck Technical&#8221; in my ear) and I think it might be a fun addition to the tabletop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a heads up, the Spectre site has moved to having a single webpage for each item, rather than splitting them for physical and STL. Instead, on each page you&#8217;ll be able to pick the STL option if it&#8217;s available &#8211; you&#8217;ll know if its worked by the fact you&#8217;ll be charged nothing at checkout. This helps to make the site a lot cleaner and easier to use, and it is much appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Echo Dark Studios Preview Adepticon Releases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n-1536x805.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/481273015_615327874625757_1779556430004760960_n-1024x537.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100084456485595\">Echo Dark Studios<\/a> has continued its preparation for Adepticon where InCountry (under the new ownership) is going to be re-released to the general public.

So far we&#8217;ve got 10 extra lists, covering more European NATO forces (Germany and Italy) and Asia-Pacific forces (China and Australia). Coming soon (as well as a spy miniature for scenarios) we have lists for Russia and Ukraine before later adding Northern NATO squads.

It is designed fully compatible with all the previous current releases for things such as the M-ATV, letting you bring the pain in a slightly more usable package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Money-transport-Crew.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Money-transport-Crew.jpg 820w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Money-transport-Crew-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Money-transport-Crew-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Back over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/modern_miniatures_eu\">Patreon <\/a>we have two new sets. For the figure packers we have a group of Money Transport Security figures, armed with pistols and AR15s, ideal for defending some high risk transportation against a gang of thieves. There is even a figure ready to surrender, the perfect setup for a more scenario-focused game. The set also includes a set of heads, with a mixture of glasses, bears and baseball caps that could be very useful for mercenaries or similar figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
