Spectre Operations - "The Division" themed miniatures and gaming table.

That was a pretty lucky find.

My wallet would disagree with you. 

On that subject, here's a few more of the miniatures I've been working on:

12 more Hyena gang members:


And a group shot of the full Hyena force so far:


At the opposite end of the spectrum, here are the Black Tusk Special Unit (BTSU) - a special operations team and the best of the best from the Black Tusk PMC. In game terms, they are Elite tier infantry, whereas the rest of the Black Tusk PMC will be Professional tier. These guys will be fielded either as a unit, or broken down and used as leader characters for 'regular' Black Tusk infantry.

There are two named characters in the force. Front and centre is Bardon Schaeffer, the 2IC of the Black Tusk. On the left of Schaeffer is Petrus Brenner, a dedicated marksman and the BTSU officer in charge of securing the Pentagon and DARPA labs for the PMC's mysterious benefactors.

More BTSU characters will be added as I go. I've currently got Milla Radek, call sign "Wyvern", on the painting table almost complete. She is the BTSU leader of the Tidal Basin garrison in Washington DC.

Some nice looking figs, I like what you have done with Hyena gang min. Taking figs from the different militia lines, and combining them into a whole. Giving me some ideas for figs that I have ignored so far.

The range is great for mixing and matching. The african militia, cartel and criminal element ranges are fantastic models. I'm hoping they expand the MENA regular range somewhere down the line, as they work great for a generic UN nation military police force.

Those are really great- was a big fan of the PC game.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Cool project. I like the setting, if not the PC game itself. Great idea on including the Sherman.

[commanderkaiser]

Really cool project, I must admit I'm a bit of a fan of both Division games so love what you've done.

[DanielB]

Thanks guys. I wanted to do a little something different from the "normal" middle eastern conflict, so I opted for something I'm a bit more knowledgeable on.

To keep the ball rolling, I've been working on some Cleaners - NYC sanitation workers who have banded behind one Joseph Ferro, a bit of a conspiracy nut who was finally right when the Dollar Flu hit - though not for any conspiracy he'd ever imagined! His wife was one of the early victims of the virus, and now he seeks to 'save the world' by eradicating it by whatever means necessary. In his eyes, he's the hero, and building a future for his niece is his primary motivator. He leads the Cleaners with a fanatical will, almost like a demagogue, driving them to use fire to burn out the infection - and any living thing they believe to be infected.

In miniatures terms, I used a bunch of parts from Anvil Industry kits to knock together a Ferro model based on the in game character and concept art: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_Oyt3ebyUdI/maxresdefault.jpg







The photos are a little cruel, and I've already spotted a few bits that need touching up. I fully built the model before painting - which was a mistake. I'm making a similar figure to act as one of Ferro's henchmen - Kosinski - and I'll certainly be learning from that mistake this time!

[commissarmoody]

Great back story for that guy.

look ther work

[DanielB]

Thanks guys

I wanted to make Joe Ferro something more than just a regular Spectre miniature with standard rulebook equipment, so I figured I'd try and make him a little unique. I'll have to playtest him to ensure he's not too overpowered, but I think he'll be fine.

So here's what I came up with for him:

Joe Ferro - Cleaner commander.

CD 4
AG 3
SG 4
DC 3
ME 3

Weapons: Cleaner Incinerator, Close Combat Weapon, 3x Molotov Cocktail
Equipment: Heavy Body Armour, Respirator, Cleaner Improvised Armour

Cleaner Incinerator: Using a particularly volatile mix of oil and chemicals, the Cleaner Incinerator is a super-charged flamethrower. It follows all the rules for Flamethrowers, however it has a RI of 12". However, if the fuel tank is ruptured, the resulting explosion uses the larger, 4" template.

Cleaner Improvised Armour: Cleaners are known to bolt extra metal plates onto their body armour, and adorn their gear with bags, satchels and toolboxes filled with scrap metal to form a crude form of protection from incoming fire. Cleaner Improvised Armour allows the wearer to re-roll any roll of a 1 on a DC test.


To go along with the extra rules, here's some extra pictures of the miniature, this time in better lighting:

One last photo of the Joe Ferro model, which will lead into the next model I've been painting...



The next model being a Division agent based on my own in-game character.

I took a Spectre mini, and added a new backpack with a Dark Zone contaminated loot bag and a ballistic mask attached, an ISAC node, arm patch, SHD ID band, agent watch, and a shotgun sheath with a baseball bat stowed in it, all from green stuff.

[commissarmoody]

Nice!

[DanielB]

Thanks Moody, I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Here's some shots of the hostages from the earlier picture:




And some group shots of the Cleaners force I've been working on:

Glad you are back on this. I have been following it from the start and I agree it is good to see something other than SEALs vs Muslim baddies of various locals. That is why I have been looking into some French centric works lately. Another "post apoc" setting I would like to pursue is some of the factions in Morrow Project, but as unit battles as opposed to RPGing.
