Scifi Corporate Security 2

Here's a second batch of Corporate forces. These reinforcements really lean into the scifi side of things with three aliens out of four. There are two more agents with pistols (one Setla and one... grey fellow). There's another trooper with a rifle. And there's a sniper (who is another grey fellow). They turned out well, and I'll probably do another batch or two of models for this force in the near future.

As a side note, it looks like I can get better pictures of miniatures if I use my phone's "Portrait" mode instead of its "Photo" mode, so hopefully everything will look nicer going forward.

Scifi Corporate Security

My new phone gives pictures of worse quality than my old phone. I have no idea how to fix it.

On Thursday, I got the urge to put together some science fiction guys; by Sunday, they were finished. Going through my sprues, I picked out a few that I thought would work well together. These corporate security forces were the result.

The bodies are Stargrave Troopers (except for the gunner and agent, who are both from the Stargrave Mercenaries box). I have plenty of these bodies because I use the weapons from that box for my Embers of Alexandria cultists. The weapons are all Stargrave pieces as well, but largely from the Mercenaries box. The heads with patrol hats are from Wargames Atlantic's Cannon Fodder. The hatless head is Anvil Industry, while the gunner's head is another Stargrave piece.

The green and purple color scheme was inspired by the Pre-Mor Corporate Security forces in Andor; their blue and orange color scheme was striking and, while not practical, believable. The final choice was made when I realized that I had a one-off paint scheme on a Battletech mech that would fit as well. (That Stalker mech, FYI, was painted last year but never posted on this blog.) The mech gives the team heavy support with its 32 missiles and two laser cannons.

6Gun Mercenaries 7: Sniper, Breacher, Soldier, Spy

I've started to put together some reinforcements for my 6Gun mercenary force, partly to offset the threat of the Embers of Alexandria cult. With my recent order from Anvil Industry for more of their costly but excellent resin bits, I bought some modular female pieces. They stand slightly taller, on average, than the males (as shown in the picture).

From left to right, these figures are:

• Green Headset: A sniper and another leader of 6Gun (as evidenced by her lack of a mask). I assume she sits back from a good overwatch position and coordinates the other mercenaries with her headset.
• Black Helmet: The first member of the crew with an actual helmet. This fellow is a tank, equipped with heavy armor and a ballistic shield. While a pump-action shotgun with the shield may seem odd, I do not regret this decision. The shield actually has a nice little cutout to poke the weapon barrel through.
• Brown Layered: (I already have a Brown Hair) A normal soldier with a regular gas mask and AK-107. She's a bog-standard trooper with a brown layered bob.
• 
  Grey Gaiter: No gas mask, but she has a neck gaiter pulled up over her face. Like all of the covert agents, she has a silenced weapon. Unlike the others (so far), she also carries a grenade on her belt. Sometimes you really wish you'd brought grenades.
  

There aren't many female gas mask parts available from Anvil that match, so there may be a few more unmasked or abnormally masked models coming up.

These four bring 6Gun up to nineteen human members.

• 13 Loud (5 assault rifle, 4 shotgun, 2 snipers, 1 LMG, 1 grenade launcher)
• 5 Covert (4 suppressed pistols, 1 suppressed machine pistol)
• 1 Other (Drone operator)
