Title: Spectre: Operations PMC Project
Post by: bishop2k7 on August 09, 2022, 03:49:32 PM: I've been working on a PMC project for Spectre: Operations. While it still has a way to go, I wanted to share what I have so far.

This is intended to be more The Expendables/Action-movie style than straight historical, with villains and evil organizations working behind the scenes.

Solo AAR:

Short AAR of my first test game:

I only have wilderness terrain right now, and want to move towards a more urban setting. So my next step (besides finishing off all the figures on my painting table) is to acquire/build some modern buildings and roads. I already have some civilian and armored vehicles on the way, as I want to try some VIP escort/ambush style missions.

Hope you enjoy!

They are an Israeli Defense Force Special Forces team. Three with Tavor X95s and one with an UZI Pro.

Post by: bishop2k7 on September 15, 2022, 12:59:09 AM: Finished another unit this weekend. These will be used as another team of security contractors. Really happy with how they turned out.

Updated my blog with some more photos: https://randomfiregaming.blogspot.com (https://randomfiregaming.blogspot.com/2022/09/new-operator-team-for-spectre.html)

My project is coming along nicely. I just added some MDF buildings and civilian vehicles to my collection. Still figuring out how I want to paint and finish them. I also have some baddies to paint, and more on the way!

Post by: AKULA on September 20, 2022, 02:31:35 PM: Lovely paint jobs - especially like the IDF.

The security contractors remind me of the not-Battlefield sculpts that Hasslefree released a few years back.
