  1. As I have mentioned in my Terrainfest project :

Bob’s Black Suns Terrainfest

I had fallen down yet another Rabbit hole. Earlier I’d displayed the Ops Survivor figures I’d painted for Forgotten Ruins, this had introduced me to the Specte Minatures range, and having dipped my finger I had to plunge in, buying both the Spec Ops starter box and Cosmic Horror.

As its print order I had to wait a couple of weeks for them to turn up so in meantime decided to carry on with my Wargames Atlantic builds to build various terrorists and Insurgents.

I Initially decided to a batch of more trained insurgents using figures mainly from Operators box using the balaclava type face mask heads, armed with a mix of western SMGs and old Soviet heavy wpns.

So 7 figures later:

These were a nice easy virtually 2 colour scheme as I has decided no caamo, as I had enough painting multi cammo on British!

So I gave them a more generic boiler suit base colour using GW’  Striking Scorpion Green for no other reason than I hadn’t tried it yet and wondered how it would work.

The rest of kits was done in Speedpaints Absolution Green giving a much darker contrast.

Bases were textured using a summer grass and a charcoal rubble scatter as felt this fitted in with the using g old warehouses , vacant lots as hideouts.

When the Spec Minatures arrived I beefed up the wpns mix with half of the figures in Starter box insurgents.

Now I had also added from both Civilians and Agents box mixed with wpns from Operators to produce a set of more Civilian attired Insurgents..

Painted with a more varied color pallette, mainly blacks, greys and blue.

Unfortunately a couple of the arms slipped without me noticing  till undercoating hence the occasional gaps at shoulders.

As with the rained Insurgents the 2nd half of the Spec Ops starter set insurgents were added.

All figures kept with the hoods, particularly as it meant very little face painting.
