Title: Warlord's Spec Ops Sprue Question
Post by: audrey on 02 March 2017, 03:44:07 PM: I am assembling some Warlord Spec Ops figures and have been able to identify all the weapons (with the help of the internet). But I cannot figure out a few pieces of gear. Attached is a photo of the sprue with the mystery items circled in red. One just looks to be a box or ammo box? I haven't a clue what the other 2 items are. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
-Audrey

Post by: audrey on 02 March 2017, 05:33:48 PM: I don't think they are breaching tools as they taper on one end. But maybe. I'll try and take a better photo of just those specific pieces. It would have been nice for Warlord to provide some identifier. The online assembly guide is bad enough being low resolution.

There is a "base" with cables that run to the more pointed end.

Are they some kind of uplink? If there were any torsos with radio back packs I would of thought they were an add on.

Or an SCBA rig in a bag.

The whole Project Z paperwork is an epic fail, letting down the high quality models backed with prompt customer care.

It might be an add on to the LAW, there are a couple of suitable sized flat surfaces that might take the "base".

There is no additional detail on the reverse.

Yep, the two are typical IEDs. That other thing would be a BIG block of C4, larger than the m112 charges.
