Hmm, I could see them fighting at Scarif or Endor  ;)

The KS in January are just killing my wallet  :D but yours is another "must-pledge" one!

Thank you, sir.
They are intended to be as multi-regional as possible but the forest and jungle settings are certainly where they were aimed at on first design, although the dusters/trenchcoats should work equally well in more arid climes too..
 :D ;)

28mm  ;)

Thanks for answering that one for me, as they are indeed 28's to fit with the rest of the Outland range, as well as most others.

Thank you!  Alas, too tall for my needs/wants/desires.  I have "moved on" to 15/18/6/3mm figures for the future.

I had just been wandering around the Blind Beggar site and found a reference to size in one of the sets.  Was about to post "never mind" but your post confirmed what I read there.

These are great. I'm thinking Outlanders (obviously,  or 'obvs' as the kids would day), Rogue Stars, even that other one with the big walking carpet alien....Alf. They could be good for Judge Dredd city Def or gangers too.

Some good alternatives there, mate.
Funny you should mention gangers, because I had not thought of that but people always think of different uses for the same thing.
As one of my mates called 'em: Delax Wiv 'Ats,
 ;)


Alf.....indeed.
That is my main use for them.
 lol

Re: (KICKSTARTER) SpecForce Rangers (WIP paint job)

Between serious technical difficulties and a case of Manflu, I have not gotten much done at all in the last couple of days.

To alleviate my boredom and also to try and distract myself from the head cold I have attempted to slap some paint on some of these using the 'wetbrush and washes' technique as that does not require as much attention as  standard painting would do, just to see how they would come out.

Seeing as concentration is not my strong point at the moment, I am pretty pleased with the results so far given the circumstances.....

In case anyone was wondering, I was using these fellas as inspiration for the paint scheme...

They are looking good, im thinking of doing a "gritty" paint job using black and silver for trims etc.
