While my Colonial Security have Spider Droids for really heavy support, there are times when you need a lighter touch (and less official paperwork!) but something that's still a step above the basic beat cops.
SWAT team next to normal security trooper. |
I got the Armored Police SWAT command/specialist set
from GZG to fulfil this role. This pack has the mix of figures I want,
4 pistol-armed in 2 poses, 2 with battering rams plus a couple of
techie/officer types (the latter not pictured yet).

These are basically the AD Police who originated in Bubblegum Crisis, though I haven't used that exact colour scheme. My SWAT team have the same grey trousers and blue jackets that my normal security troopers wear.
I'd grade these a B+. The detail is nice and crisp, though it sould do with being a little better defined around the respirator cannisters and helmet area. Some of the creases on the trousers seem unnaturally sharp but there wasn't much flash to clean up. The pistol-aiming poses could be a little more varied, but overall I'm quite happy with them. I'll probably get a pack or two of the assault rifle/shotgun & grenade launcher armed SWAT troopers in due course.
Cool figs, I didn't know about these guys. Maybe a newer range for gzg? I really dig the door crashing tool....I like that you made it a bold colour to draw attention to it.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the SWAT troops!
ReplyDeleteDamn, now I realize that I need this SWAT team.
