Spectre has announced on Patreon that the T-64 is on its way to joining their collection of AFVs available from them. The T-64 was the Soviet tank that took the leap and implemented the design features we know and love from later Russian vehicles &#8211; smoothbore main guns (ideal for launching ATGMs), a three-man crew and the radial autoloader under the turret. Spectre is going to have several versions, including the T-64 BV (mounting Kontakt Explosive Reactive Armour) and the Bulat (a Ukrainian modernisation that brought it kicking and screaming into the modern day). No details on when this range is being released, so stand by for more information when we see it painted up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now begins a bigger journey that rolled out over the last day or so&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1551\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TF-Survivors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32448\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TF-Survivors.jpg 1551w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TF-Survivors-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TF-Survivors-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TF-Survivors-1536x887.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1551px) 100vw, 1551px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, following on from last week&#8217;s partial preview of the team on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/spectreminiatures\">Patreon<\/a>, we now have the rest of the Task Force Survivors. To accompany the pair of riflemen, we have a trio of heavily armed specialists. Giving you a gunner with the MK.48 MMG, a marksman with the EBR and MP5 as a sidearm and&#8230; yep, that&#8217;s a cowboy hat wearing gentleman with an AA12. All of these guys are heavily laden, rucksacks covered in gear such as comms antennas and more, while a non-standard set of headgear helps to make them look rugged. The good news is that a few people have requested some tweaked variants of these figures, removing the rucksacks for one version and potentially a set with respirators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That name, however, implies that they survived something. Seeing as they don&#8217;t look as roughed up as the classes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/battlefield.fandom.com\/wiki\/Battlefield_3:_Aftermath\">best Battlefield 3 expansion<\/a>, that implies that they may be involved in something else. Something&#8230; spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"1127\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-201855.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32470\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-201855.jpg 668w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-201855-89x150.jpg 89w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s right &#8211; Spectre is going to release Outbreak, a rules addon for Spectre Operations that will give you all things undead. &#8216;Tis the season after all.<\/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-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"487\" data-id=\"32472\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202155.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202155.jpg 687w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202155-150x106.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"486\" data-id=\"32473\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202209.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202209.jpg 687w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202209-150x106.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"484\" data-id=\"32471\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202221.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202221.jpg 690w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202221-150x105.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from the previews off the Spectre Facebook page&#8217;s story, you can see the way that this is going to convert the base game, adding in new elements and behaviours for both the zombies and the civilian survivors. This is essentially an add-on for the base game, with the rules themselves referencing specific pages from the base Spectre Operations book. There is also mention of systems such as limited ammo and fear to play into the gritty, realistic feel they seem to be going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1551\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Outbreak-Survivors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32454\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Outbreak-Survivors.jpg 1551w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Outbreak-Survivors-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Outbreak-Survivors-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Outbreak-Survivors-1536x887.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1551px) 100vw, 1551px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Civilan Survivors, we have a few of those preview as well. These four figures, armed with a mix of firearms and melee weapons definitely hit some classic zombie movie tropes while also being suitable for other ranges, mixing in with Texas Rangers or the Law Enforcement games. The woman on the left seems oddly familiar&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"650\" data-id=\"32474\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202251.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202251.jpg 712w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202251-150x137.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"651\" data-id=\"32475\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202233.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202233.jpg 691w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-21-202233-150x141.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you will also need some targets to engage. And with the bonus release mentioned to be 16 models (and only four survivors shown so far) it seems we might have a horde of zombies coming. We have a mix of zeds it seems, with both civilians and military personal having fallen to the zombie menace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the release date for all this, we don&#8217;t have anything specific just get. Task Force Survivors has been reported to be online this Friday as well as an exploration for the theme behind them (which we can safely assume is more details on Outbreak). October is coming to a close soon, the perfect time for a new spooky release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Austin Miniatures Deploys The Volksarmee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/565104178_1324437072810416_7831341143079428088_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32450\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/565104178_1324437072810416_7831341143079428088_n.jpg 665w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/565104178_1324437072810416_7831341143079428088_n-150x101.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/austinminiatures?__cft__[0]=AZUmezPMksDvdIXMDNZDzQrwdOXMSDgcITKH36D62XWRvCPS6tVF5bMoZYf0t2W_eQnZ6oNYrUC9a4DjPWb9hTzf3xAku9z1ZEGd9C9x3U3YlpVrlgTYGk4TisFbabCs93bq0ww7v0yuPmfmRCfs-1wPnMrPOigxyQ7uF5Kch9ZedA&amp;__tn__=-UC%2CP-R\">Austin Miniatures<\/a> has continued hammering its way through the results of their last Kickstarter, bringing us a set of East German Infantry.

First up, Wave 2 of the Kickstarter Stretch Goals for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/flankmarch\/reforger-1-cold-war-us-army-infantry\/description\">REFORGER <\/a>have been released to all Kickstarter backers. This includes some of the wierd and wonderful parts of the release &#8211; sure it has the M60 on a tripod and various Marksmen but it also has vehicle and helicopter crew, M202 FLASH operators and even Military Police figures, ideal for all kinds of scenarios. There is still one more Wave to come at the end of November\/start of December and this includes some heavy gear and even USAF Berets for those sneaky airfield defences\/trips through the star gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However more exciting is that they have released a preview set of rules for Chain of Command, converting it to the Cold War. Initially with details for the BAOR and the Soviets, the set looks like a good starting point for a Chain of Command conversion &#8211; it may need some tweaks for the updated CoC V2 (a ruleset I need to play but looks very promising) but this conversion seems to capture the theme of the era at platoon level without going too indepth to the point it&#8217;s a whole new game. I&#8217;ll definitely be keeping an eye on this, especially once the US Army and their toys are added.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flankmarch.com\/downloads-1\"> The files are available over on the Flank March website<\/a>, along with the incredible wargaming and painting guides that Flank March has produced for its Kickstarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miska Miniatures&#8217;s Revolution Hammers The Stretch Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1296\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/566263319_10239118481555675_3569959185346535511_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32467\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/566263319_10239118481555675_3569959185346535511_n.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/566263319_10239118481555675_3569959185346535511_n-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/566263319_10239118481555675_3569959185346535511_n-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1296px) 100vw, 1296px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/miska.minis\">Miska Miniatures<\/a> &#8211; their latest Kickstarter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/miska-miniatures\/red-dawn-revolution?ref=cnkm70\">Red Dawn Revolution<\/a>, has absolutely smashed its way through the original Stretch Goals.
