Modern Empress SAS
« on: June 08, 2011, 11:32:56 PM »
Just finished painting up these rather nice Empress SAS models, great fun to paint. I went for a private security look and wanted something that could be used in European country's as well, hence the green DPM which was something new for me to paint.

Fantastic work there.

the DPM vests are entirely correct for the middle east too.

Good stuff.

Anyone know how these look next to Eureka's more recent moderns?

Well the US SF Forces I have from Empress probably stand about 1/2 a mm to a 1mm taller unbased. I'm perfectly happy mixing them. They are both very good lines of minis, the weapons are appropriately scaled, I'd give it Eureka on points but only because I feel they have more natural poses than few of the Empress range.

Those blokes are suberb, I particularly like the chap standing with the Minimi & the DPM is excellent.
