Operation Benevolent Prospector - Pastrian Yaygr

Pastria is a small colonial empire, whose holdings are in the polar regions of the world of Plan Red Reiver. They are a member of both the Continental Union and the Oceanic Alliance. Their expertise in polar warfare means they provide both training and training sites for the cold weather contingents of other Oceanic Alliance members.

Their special forces units are called Yaygrs and are specially equipped to live and fight in extreme cold weather.

The figure was built from an Empress US Ranger. Unfortunately at Salute Empress did not have the French NVG helmets I was after, so this figure has removed his helmet showing the insulated hood worn under the helmet. This is a Crooked Dice balaclava head.
A scarf was added round the neck,and the shoulder ws tidied up.
At the back a poncho/shelter was added under the rucksack. I wonder if I should have converted the supplied tomahawk into an ice axe?


The figure was undercoated with Citadel Corax White spray.
The magazine, barrel and the blade of the tomahawk was Vallejo Black Grey.The gloves, straps, tomahawk handle, pistol holster and the furniture was Vallejo London Grey. Highlighting was with a mix of Army Painter Stone Golem and London Grey.

When Nightmares Come - Tortured Souls

 At Salute this year I bought a box of Wargames Atlantic  Zombies. As I said earlier, I was not impressed by them but thought about using them as some ghostly entities.

So here I present some Tortured Souls.
