Crooked Dice recently released a pack of
Security Troopers for their Colony 87 SF range.
Each of the four figures are in two parts, a body and a head. There are two styles of head, a reinforced perforated visor and a smooth glass style visor. There are two armed with assault rifles, one technician with side arm and one with a cut down heavy cannon.
The figures were undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray followed by Citadel Death Guard Green spray. A camouflage pattern was added to the cloth parts with Citadel Rhinox Hide.
The gun was repainted with Army Painter Black then a mixture of Army Painter Black and Vallejo Black Grey. Pouches and the holster were painted with Citadel Death World Forest.The figure was dry brushed with Citadel Nurgling Green. The cloth parts of the suit were washed with Citadel Agrax Earthjshade.
The visor was painted with Vallejo Game Colour Night Blue.
Three of the four figures.
So what was I going to use them for? Well, I thought that they would make good reconnaissance troops from some shady government group exploring the Zombie apocalypse.
I did have a quick add up of the required points for skilled troops with body armour, Assault Carbines, ammo etc.
It turned out that you would have ten to eleven walkers per trooper.
They are of a reasonable match with the Walking Dead zombies.
