I have seen some comments about there being too many kneeling figures but having put these all out on the tabletop (I printed my own), there is a nice visual difference between the regular line troops and the high-speed figures in the rest of the Spectre range.

Covering both the Gunship and Transport variants, both vehicles come with a pile of options. The gunship has various weapon mounts (including the stub wings and the weapon systems), including 7.62mm and .50cal miniguns, Hellfire missiles, rocket pods and the 20mm autocannon. For the transport variant, there are both empty benches and a pair of benches filled with Task Force Operator figures ready to drop on the X. The body of the helicopter also includes pilots (and we don&#8217;t seem to have an alternative version without them), meaning these are definitely intended to be in flight. The kit is also multiple parts, with plenty of opportunities for tweaking the Little Bird for other roles (such as skipping all weapons for a light recon helicopter) or even magnetising parts. No news when this is hitting a wider release, but I&#8217;m looking forward to getting mine printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward, we have a pile of possibilities for future projects mentioned. In no particular order, December saw the following: Cartel redesigns, PLA and North Korean Forces, an expansion to the Ukrainian range, a NATO force to go with them, Royal Marines, US Army and US Marine Platoons, and not to mention the civilians that have been previewed but not yet hit prime time. However, January has been updated to cover some of the more popular elements within the range &#8211; more Western SF. In this case, we&#8217;ll be seeing the long-mentioned CIA SAD\/SAC team and an updated release of some Delta Force figures (perfectly timed) with the current MCX weapon platforms. No details on their release just yet, but stand by for more previews 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 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Austin Miniatures Partners With Desk-Ops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dccb4a80fae&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dccb4a80fae\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" 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\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32969\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-8.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-8-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><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<p>Good news from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/austinminiatures\">Austin Miniatures<\/a>!

Dan at Desk-Ops has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desk-ops.de\/en\/Brands\/Austin-Miniatures\/?order=name-asc&amp;p=1\">already added the range to the website<\/a>, covering all parts of the Austin Miniatures releases so far. This includes figures from the Cold War sets, the modular Ultramodern figures for the USMC, US Army, British and Germans and, in a very exciting twist, the figures for the upcoming Red Jungle game that Austin Miniatures is bringing to Kickstarter this year. This is great news for anyone wanting them and without a printer, so it&#8217;s worth taking a look now if you want some pieces ideal for gaming.<\/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\">BobMack3d Releases ZAPAD-84 Models To The Backers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dccb4a8177a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dccb4a8177a\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" 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\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32970\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-9-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-9-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><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<p>A minor update &#8211; anyone who backed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BobMack3d\/\">BobMack3d<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/bm3d\/zapad-soviet-tanks-and-afvs-of-the-cold-war-stl-28mm-20mm-15mm?ref=5rb2qu\">ZAPAD-84 project on Kickstarter<\/a> should have kicked off the year with a pile of zip folders to download.

The good news is that all three figures mix with the Eastern European Deniables, letting you mix up the set even further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dccb4a865b7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dccb4a865b7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" 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=\"32981\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-5-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-5-1536x1152.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 class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-id=\"32982\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-6-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Layout-6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To go with the figures, there are also some great add-ons. The basic heads add some moustaches (ideal for the MENA region) and two bearded heads that are perfect for a more militarised look (the beret is already being used in a kitbash). The higher tier gets some heads ideal for showing your insurgents are slightly higher tier, as they have NVGs (with both the AN\/PVS-7 and the AN\/PVS-14) to help reclaim the night. It also comes with a shemagh piece, a new piece that really helps to change up how the figures look. On the pouches side, a generic admin pouch and baofeng radio in a pouch are accompanied by a set of PKM pouches for the SMERSH rigging (ideal for plenty of other sets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myminifactory.com\/object\/3d-print-patreon-pack-52-december-2025-mena-freedom-fighters-pt3-741442\">This set is currently out on MyMiniFactory<\/a> if you want to extend your Freedom Fighters, while also giving a great entry point into the range.

They are all covered in all the pouches and gear, and looking pretty good.

figures. Inspired by one of the more controversial Christmas movies, Tier 2 provides you with the Heroes and some hostages. However, it&#8217;s Tier 3 that I can see being more popular, with the whole gang of villains ready for a fight. These figures should be up for patrons soon, but I&#8217;m not sure they will be getting a wider release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1058w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-150x110.png 150w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-768x563.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1058px) 100vw, 1058px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to support my work on gathering the news together,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog\">my Patreon<\/a>&nbsp;is the best way to keep things going. With a minimal cost of \u00a31 a month, every little helps to keep the news spigot flowing and to let me cover more of the suppliers, rules writers and inspirational creatives out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you are a REAL news fan, there is a higher tier for the News Fan. For \u00a35 a month (or \u00a31.25ish a post), you can guarantee you\u2019ll get your weekly dose of news updates and keep me going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want to help keep this site running, you can join the Special Projects and Logistics Group for \u00a37.50 a month. This gives you access to a whole host of additional blog content &#8211; more in-depth analysis on the news, SPOT-REPs to act as a guide to the industry, updates on various projects I&#8217;m personally working on (such as the ChargeReal or Project Elements) or even more unannounced items coming soon. For less than \u00a32 a week, this tier will make sure you see everything I get up to on the blog, perfect for someone wanting a finger on the pulse of the Ultramodern niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Year, New Time slot and plenty of things to cover!
