Little Grey Men - PLAN RED REIVER

The Little Grey Men came to international notice during the Redland invasion of Blueland. The most popular videos on social media were however a unit in their distinctive grey urban camouflage uniforms being handed their heads by a great grandmother in her nineties (aided by her protection detail).

Armed and equipped with weapons sourced from other countries, these deniable assets became a serious problem during the hours leading to the invasion and operating behind the defender's lines during the invasion. Hitting important buildings and ambushing evacuating members of the Blueland monarchy and government, they wreaked havoc beyond their limited numbers.

In addition to their  grey uniforms, most units sported green camouflaged body armour. This deniable asset is armed with an assault rifle with assorted aiming aids.

Specialist Firearms Officer - PLAN RED REIVER

Blueland's Territorial Police forces traditionally are unarmed.  There are situations where an armed response is required. For those situations, Specialist Firearms Officers are available. They are trained for hostage rescue, counter-terrorism and assault scenarios.

The invasion by Redland has meant that SFO units have been deployed to protect sites and personnel.

Though PLAN RED REIVER specifically states that police units are not to be deployed in the defence line, SFOs have been involved in conflict both with "The Little Grey Men" fighting behind the lines and occasionally directly with Redland line troops.

The wooly hat was painted with Citadel Caliban Green.

The camouflage pattern was built up with Citadel Castellan Green, Citadel Dryad Bark and Citadel Zandri Dust.

The rucksack is Citadel Castellan Green and the boots Citadel Mournfang Brown.

Empress 28mm BMD-2 IFV - part 4

So, further progress on the BMD-2.

The camouflage-net over the nose has had some additional bits added.

I was staring at the front of the BMD, and thought, maybe some additional armour would be nice.

I was looking through my bits and pieces and found the Crooked Dice Mattress set. The lower front of the hull is angled, so I used my trusty razor saw to first cut one in half but with an angled cut. I then made a similar angled cut so the two halves came together at a shallow angle. The two parts were then superglued to the hull front. The gaps were then filled with Greenstuff.

If I had thought about it earlier, I would have added some on the side.

Straps and a sling were added to the ammo box on the port side.

A similar sling was added to hold the Rubicon crate. A rolled tarpaulin was added to the two pegs, again out of Greenstuff.
