Title: Recce Patrol, TTA 12th Airborne, Laguna Beta
Post by: V on July 25, 2014, 01:31:18 AM
A recce patrol from the Terran Trade Authority's 12th Guards Airborne Division, seen soon after the combat drop onto Laguna Beta.

The vehicles and personnel still sport more temperate camouflage from action on Laguna Prime, not ideal for the desert landscapes of Laguna Beta but it would be some time before stocks of arid pattern clothing and mesh armour became available to the TTA troops who reinforced the battlegroup on Laguna Beta when the secondary wave of uprisings began.

This unit was wiped out during an ambush at Refinery 116, some 50 klicks from the El'Bagari Spaceport.

I really like those vehicles; both the vehicle design and your paint job.  I really need to order some stuff from Khurasan Miniatures.

V,

These are AWESOME. I am really loving the paint scheme on the troops. Is there anyway you can do a good and close closeup? Better than what you have already listed. Maybe on the 4th guy from the left in this pic above? Maybe you see him as 2nd form the left in the front row. LOL I just curious to really see the details super up and close.

Also, what bases you using?

But both the vehicles and troops look really excellent. Cant wait to see more.

Late 1970s.  There were several "Terran Trade Authority" books.  Large format hardbacks, reprinting SF paperback cover art and making up new colour text to match.  They were a big influence on my school's SF wargaming and RPGs too.
