This week's post is up! We're taking a look another vehicle for all you US Army fans, the Styker ICV and MGS from Empress.

"Playing as US force in Ultramodern tabletop wargaming is like being a kid with a box of toys. There are so many options that are available! On one side, you could be rolling around in technicals as SF advisers alongside local troops. Alternatively, you could break out the heavy metal and plonk the Bradleys and Abrams on the table. An interesting option is to roll out with a Stryker Brigade Combat Team and all the vehicles it includes."

Interesting read.

That HEMMETT looks good.

The Crooked Dice Land Rover is an interesting idea.

Have you thought about using either the Warlord or Empress Universal Soldier African heads on those Cold War Americans?

That's kind of a cool idea Ultrasmurf?

Hi, i have been reading your blog for the last few weeks and have been well entertained !! Great information on all of the Spectre moderns releases, this has got me back into wanting to do moderns and playing a skirmish game suits me better, might start with Cartel figures to get some drug wars/ secret agent type games starting but there is plenty of scope for so many different games on the horizon

Glad you like blog! It's great fun (and a little stressful) to write about figures so much so hearing people being entertained by it makes it all worth while.

I really need to paint up my Cartel guys (still trying to work out the best way to fit them into the Middle Eastern/African theatre my games are set in) but I think they are one of the best ranges Spectre does. Nice mix of figures and you could easily split the range in half to do some Cartel vs Cartel fights. Also everyone starts by saying "I'll play a skirmish game" and then suddenly you find yourself with a platoon of figures :v
