This image, pulled from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/spectreminiatures\">Spectre Miniatures Patreon<\/a>, shows off the second section for the full platoon, this time showing off the guys without full scrim helmets. The set has the same weapon mix as the first section shown last week, although this set is split into two style, showing a team split into assaulting and overwatch elements. The Assaulting team is moving in a stack, ready for entry, while the overwatch element (including both the L7 GPMG and the L129A1 Sharpshooter rifle) are crouched, preparing for the next part of the advance. Both teams are the type of poses I recognise from defence imagery pages, and I&#8217;m excited to see them in 3D. With the first set in full scrim and this second set wearing a bare Virtus helmet, the third set is going to be more sparse scrim, making all three sets ideal to mix together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should be seeing the third section and command soon, with a release coming later this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2

All equipped with various Load Bearing Equipment mixed with a variety of clothing &#8211; the first two are shown with rifles, while the final one is going to be the first machine gunner, with options including the PKM, GPMG and MG3, allowing you to go all out with the variety of your MENA fighters. There is still a fourth figure coming out, although the posing hasn&#8217;t yet been selected. These figures will be out for patrons this month, so stand by for further previews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern Miniatures Previews Weapons for Kill Team 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7b7dc399b8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7b7dc399b8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"32661\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7b7dc3a4e1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7b7dc3a4e1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"32662\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-6-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/Modern_Miniatures_eu\">Modern Miniatures<\/a> has shown off some previews for Part 2 of the Kill Team.

As you can see from the weapons above, these guys are Russian style and ready to kick some door &#8211; the PP-2000 on the left has an optic, suppressor and weapon light, while the Saiga 12 (for the moment) is running plain. The addition of these weapons to the Modern Miniatures catalogue means we can potentially see them in future releases or even in some of the kitbashing packs on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/users\/Modern-Miniatures?show=store\">store<\/a>.
