Finally managed to get some decent pics of our Empress USMC, modern camos are tricky to paint and even worse to get decent pics of due to the lack of contrast.

Anway these are part of our growing modern Fireteam collection ... not quite complete though as we have some newer Empress sets still to pick up to add to them at some stage.

One very minor criticism. I don't think I've ever seen the plastic box on the SAW black (same color as the SAW). They used to all be green but over the last few years have come in sand/tan as well.

Having said that, those all look spectacular. Fantastic job!

EDIT: Looks like I am wrong. I just saw some images where the ammo box is dark greyish looking.

Sorry!

Well we do have extensive files, but that doesn't mean we're right

. Feel free to add CnC anytime as it's the only way to improve ....

Practise, took a couple of test figs to get the look then it's batch painting while trying to stay sane. Also looked at as many ref pics as possible and I think the trick to modern camos is to go for more of an impression than a minute copying of the pattern. There's bigger pics on my blog and some ref pics that might be useful ....

Those look very impressive!!
As for the SAW box, I seem to recall that the black ones were all loaded with blanks when issued.
But, it has been a few years since I handled any.A lot may have changed.

The majority of SAW boxes I've seen are indeed dark green. I don't know that I've seen a black one, but I'm sure they exist.

I don't think it detracts from the minis in any way, nor do I think you should correct it, but Elbows and Schriv are right. The black boxes are blanks and the green are live ammo. This is to help people distinguish them when they are gearing up. Just like how training rounds are tipped bright green.
