Weapon Team Week: Friday - AFCFA SAW teams B

My final set of AFCFA weapon teams are two more SAW teams.  As before, I have used the remaining prone figures from the GZG New Israeli SG15-Z08 SAW pack and mixed in buddies from the SG15-Z05 kneeling/prone set.

In this case, I have used 2 kneeling figures from the prone/kneeling set to complete the teams.  The kneeling figures do differ slightly in upper body pose/gun position.

Base colour is Humbrol 75 bronze green, black washed and then highlighted again with the base colour.  A highlight of Humbrol 86 matt light olive finished the armour, with gold visors and the weapons are black with a dark grey drybrush.


All these SAW gunners will provide a lot of extra anti-personnel firepower for the AFCFA troops.

Weapon Team Week: Thursday - AFCFA SAW teams A

After the missile and sniper additions to the AFCFA forces, some lighter support weapons.  I have used the prone figures from the GZG New Israeli SG15-Z08 SAW pack and as before, mixed in buddies from the SG15-Z05 kneeling/prone set.

I mixed prone rifleman with the prone SAW gunners to form the weapon teams.  The prone riflemen from the kneeling/prone set have 2 different poses, so the teams are slightly different if you look closely.

Base colour is Humbrol 75 bronze green, black washed and then highlighted again with the base colour.  A highlight of Humbrol 86 matt light olive finished the armour, with gold visors and the weapons are black with a dark grey drybrush.


 These weapons teams are suitably low visibility, ready to be hidden in ambush or concealed in overlooking cover to support an AFCFA attack.

Weapon Team Week: Wednesday - AFCFA missile teams

To enhance the anti-tank capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Charity Freedom Alliance, I have used the prone figures from the GZG New Israeli SG15-Z10 support pack with buddies from the SG15-Z05 kneeling/prone set.

The prone missile troopers are accompanied by one kneeling and one prone rifleman.

Base colour is Humbrol 75 bronze green, black washed and then highlighted again with the base colour.  A highlight of Humbrol 86 matt light olive finished the armour, with gold visors and the weapons are black with a dark grey drybrush.


This gives me 4 dedicated light anti-tank teams for my AFCFA force, plus 2 ATGW and 2 Gauss HAMR teams.  Combined with all the missile troopers in the regular fire-teams, any NAC armour had better watch out next time they take on AFCFA...

Weapon Team Week: Tuesday - AFCFA Sniper teams

The Armed Forces of the Charity Freedom Alliance have some additional firepower.  I have used all the prone figures from the various GZG New Israeli SG15-Z10 support and SG15-Z08 SAW packs and mixed in buddies from the SG15-Z05 kneeling/prone set.  First of all, we have a couple of sniper teams.

I mixed one kneeling and one prone rifleman with the prone snipers to form the weapon teams.

They have a Humbrol 75 bronze green base coat, black washed and then highlighted again with the base colour.  A highlight of Humbrol 86 matt light olive finished the armour.

The visors are gold, the weapons black with a dark grey drybrush.

This gives me a total of 4 sniper teams for my AFCFA force.  The standing snipers are mixed into the normal squads as designated marksmen.

Plasma cannon groundmount

 This is V15-85A from Ground Zero games, a twin plasma cannon on groundmount with a New Israeli crewman.  His two buddies are from a couple of different infantry sets.


 The kit is fairly simple to put together, it comes as a 3-legged groundmount, a seat/sensor unit, a gun shield and 2 gun barrels.  Plus the gunner of course.  It did need quite a lot of blu-tack to keep the bits in place while the glue set though...


 I've gone for a black base coat with a drybrush of Humbrol matt 75 bronze green plus matt 86 olive green highlights.  Visor is Humbrol gold.  Sensor dome Vallejo matt black.  I've painted the leg extenders in GW mithril silver - I assume they slide out and lock into position when the unit is deployed.


 A nice little gun mount to add some fire support for my NI troops!
