ANZACS and the return of 'Them', ( & Cthulu Kong, Goldylocks etc!))

There I was thinking, finished current HALO Collection so can get back to Black Sun’s Fantasy Nam  when I catch a you tube video on the ideal pairing of Wargames Atlantic Operators with Modifeus’s Forgotten Ruins Rule Book

I had caught the weekender discussion on mixing the new Atlantic Operators , and forthcoming Agents to do an SG team for SG1, one of my favourite shows. I have Jaffa, , and was intrigued on this fantasy world  in could elements be merged into Black Sun. I already thought maybe use Stargate rather than random portals.

Anyway on getting my copy  realised that it was based on a series of books , with the 2st having same name as the Rule set.

Although there was a World Map, and a bestiary   not much background, so I Kindled the 1st book.

Now I can and will play it with my Vietnam figures. But , did like the Idea of Ultra Modern forces in Fantasy World  having watched odd episodes of The Anima ‘The Gate’.

Not that I needed much prompting, so rather than U.S. Rangers , I went for British Para’s,.

Of course I couldn’t just use the figures in Agents Box,, as they only had 4 or 5 SA80′, so I did quick order to Empress Minatures again!

12 British Infanrty and 4 SAS ( I have a unpainted Mortar Team from previous project) later, with a few extras from the operators box, and the ‘good guys’ are sorted.

Now how to paint them, particularly their Cammo uniforms?

I was not going to be able to paint that fine to match it, best would be doing them so they looked approximately right from normal table distance for 28mm figures.

My work on Arnies Predator squad gave me an idea for the base colour,  which is what I gave the figures a base coat( Including boots.) GW Contrast Gutrrippa Flesh, in 2 part paints to one water mix.

Finally to merge it all together, zI coated it in liquid talent  with  a coat of Agrax Earthshade wash., thinned 50/50.

Now I do agree with Geryy that the wash can sometimes darken and detract from original colour shading,  but I  this case it does seem to bring it altogether.
