Imagi-Unit - Special Targets Reconnaissance teams (SPECTRE)

It all started with an epiphany... Even in a world made mostly of imagi-nations, US Special Forces are a must have (or at least really useful) for ultra-modern games!
  • Looking for evidence of the Basranian nuclear program;
  • Supporting the Syldavian Forces response to the latest Bordurian invasion/annexation of their country;
  • "Advising" rebels in Touboutt-Chan;
  • Painting "high value targets" in Khemed...

The miniatures part was easy:
  • A couple of teams of Khurasan Miniatures DEVGRU (shop closed, no link!);
  • An Italeri MH-X Silent Hawk (I prefer to call it Ghost Hawk myself) 1/100 diecast;
  • And a pair of Rebel Minis not-Oshkosh M-ATV (I know those aren't really SF vehicles but they look cool!);
Nothing too ambitious right? Just wait for it...

On the fluff front though, as they aren't nearly enough real-world SF units, I had to make up my own...

All Quiet on the Quar Front - Infantry

Following up on my All Quiet on the Martian Front vehicles post... Some thoughts about what to use for infantry for 15mm not-Imperial Guard.

When talking about 15mm not-Imperial Guard, one usually thinks one of three options...
1. You have maddening modelling/sculpting/converting skills and/or will settle for nothing but a perfect homothety of the GW models! I haven't anything like those skills and actually prefer more approximate proxies.

have a look at his Titanium Dropship 2014 entry or at his current 15mm not-40K project...
