"In Country" HBR Security Team

Do you feel more secure with these guys?

Well, probably not...

Another round of painting has me finishing up the Hanna Barbara Rus Security Team [Local] that has been partially done for a while now.  They came out much better than I originally anticipated, and are a great reminder how awesome the figs from the InXCountry line are [now sold by Enemy Spotted Studios CLICK].

They are not only a joy to paint, but the little details like wrist watches, positioning, belt loops, web gear straps, etc, are just insane. Whatever one thinks of the various rule systems / games they are working on, and they seem solid, the figs are an obvious must-have for any gamer. 

Now, "that's a bold claim, Mr. Up-the-Blue! gamer!  Why is that?" you might say.

"Glad you asked, Mr. Gamer Customer."  It's because 

"These guys are easy to paint, and make you look 150% better as an artiste"

I mean, seriously, I'm a solid painter with 45 years of painting mishaps behind me.  These guys are just plain easy, and make my efforts look good.  Enough said - go get yourself some here [CLICK]!

Here are some shots of the finished [Local] Security Team:

Finally, I finished the Hostage special model from the InxCountry box set.  Overall, He came out well, altho I may fuss with him some more.

The tied hands were tough to guess how to do and how they'd turn out.  In the end, I just had to make some judgement calls and see what happened. Overall, I feel like they came out really well.

These were finished because I'm doing a few more playtests tomorrow at a local Game Day. We'll see how it goes, as I've aggressively trimmed the rules in addition to finishing up a team and an independent model. As always, I'm hopeful it will be fantabulous!
