Planetfall - Scouts

In Five Parsecs From Home: Planetfall you are in charge of a colonisation project. You have eight specialist slots - you can select from Scouts, Scientists and Troopers with a minimum of one of each.

There are three introductory scenarios which introduce various aspects of the tactical game.

The first one involves your scout team deploying beacons. There are only minor threats - strange vortices that move randomly over the battlefield.

Scouts are equipped with jump packs which allow them to move over impassible terrain and safely reach high and low areas.

So what could I use for the figures?

Anvil Industries have High Tech Recon Drop Troops which have a jump pack option.

I ordered the Female High Tech Recon Drop Troop squad with integrated Vektor carbines.

As with the Colonial Administrator, the basic colour was Citadel The Fang.

I had hoped that Colour Forge Wolfkin Grey would be a suitable match to The Fang., but unfortunately not.

The rifle and belt packs are Citadel Mechanicum Standard Grey. The visor is Citadel Mephiston Red.

The figure was drybrushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.

The body was shaded with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade, the rifle and pack shaded with Citadel Nuln Oil.

The main body of the jet pack was Citadel Mechanicum Standard Grey. The vents under the pack were painted with Army Painter Stone Golem followed by Warpaints Plasma Coil Glow.
