Cartel Soldiers on the street!

[Spectre Miniatures]

Spectre Miniatures proudly presents the first (crime) wave of our Cartel miniatures range. 

These highly detailed miniatures are focussed on inner city urban combat scenarios and feature Soldatos (soldiers), Sicarios (assassins) and character figures to represent members of the cartels, criminal syndicates and favelas of central and south America.

These include street soldiers armed with a variety of weapons, professional hit men, enforcers, bosses and character miniatures to add flavour to your games of Spectre: Operations.

This is the start of a new range from Spectre Miniatures, with more to join the ranks in the future!

Nice.

Also possibly useful for Fear The Walking Dead.

Nice figures, albeit for me a slightly uncomfortable subject but I do wish people would stop applying the word 'favela' to all places Latin American. It's a specifically Brazilian term. If you want to be PC, you call them comunidades. I've spent some time in Colombia and the term they use  for similar communities is the fairly neutral 'barrio'. Similar terms elsewhere, they don't call them favelas so why should you? It's not even universally applied in Brazil.  If you want to call them slums then do so

Sorry, particular hobby horse of mine.

I like those.   Good for MS13 types in many US cities as well as generic narcos in many places south of the US border.  Obviously some of the armament is a bit much for use in present day US (not a lot of RPGs or grenade launchers get used thankfully) but for near future...   

Great stuff.  They can fight other gangs, cops/SWAT/DEA types, SOF or DEA 'snow cap' folks.   I may have to pick some of these up.

Carlos, you're right!

And for their build and dress, those minis don't represent Brazilian drug soldiers either.

Indeed they don't but I don't think that was intention.

These are far more simple cholos from the barrio, etc.  Good gang-bangers, but not particularly accurate for cartel "soldiers".  Still, always good to have options.
