Evil Bear Combat Support Drone

Evil Bear brought out their Combat Support Drones a while back, I bought a wheeled version I think at Salute.

The kit comprised a hull, two sets of wheels and a remote controlled GPMG. The weapon mount is identical to the resin GPMG supplied with the Panther kit (together with an HMG) which will allow weapon swaps.

The hull has four front mounted sensors plus four sensors on the four corners.

Shown here providing fire support for advancing SAS operators.

Equipped with extensive day and night vision system, the drone can advance with troops or proceed in advance of troops. The stabilisation system allows it to fire while moving.
The four scanning sensors allow a degree of autonomy in movement.
 There is a winch on the rear of the hull, though I might consider it control cables as an alternative.



 This particular variant uses wheeled locomotion, Evil Bear have a tracked version armed with a heavy machine gun in the remote mount. There is space in the turret space to add magnets without having to make any changes to the model.

Some Assembly Required - Anastasia

Anastasia is a former member of The Iron Ceiling who is now a member of A.G.E.N.T.S.
Though a product/victim of the Iron Ceiling Super Soldier project, she is not super powerful, though she is a skilled fighter. To make up for her limited power, she is equipped with a matched pair of enhanced Tonfa.
They allow her to parry blows and to deliver an electrical jolt.
Of course not all foes will oblige with closing to hand to hand range (and some you want to avoid), so she is also armed with a matched pair of High Power pistols.

 The figure is the excellent Hasslefree Danica figure.

East Wind Warriors - PLA infantry

This is the first of the Chinese PLA soldiers.

He is dressed in Type 07 digicam uniform and armed with the QBZ-95 assault rifle.

The body armour has integral loops to take packs and pouches and an integral lifting handle to assist if he becomes a casualty.


The Walking Dead: All Out War - first walker

Though I have had Mantic Games' The Walking Dead: All Out War for quite a while, I have not got round to painting the figures that come in the box. I have painted the figures in the Woodbury solo box, the one from the Andrea booster and the freebie from Salute in 2017.

Having been painting a number of Malifaux Resurrectionist undead, I decided to try using Citadel Rakash Flesh for the skin tone.
The tee shirt is Citadel Ultramarine blue, the trousers are Citadel orange of some kind. The hair is Vallejo Dark Sand.
There is a large block on the base to identify that he figure is from the All Out War box.


This is the walker with the freebie figure from Salute 2017
 There is an identical figure in the All Out War box set, but it has sheets of paper on the base to differentiate it from its All Out War figure.

These are some close up views of the Rubicon T34/76.


I need to fabricate a mantlet for the blown turret (the only bit I have been unable to obtain from this or other kits.
