Get ready for some State of the Art Bad Asses

.
The Special Assault Brigade are the elite strike force of the Federal Marines, used for special operations, boarding action and landings to outflank the enemy during fullscale invasions.


They alone are deployable using teleport technology. They wear power armour, and are armed with a large dual-purpose missile launcher (capable of both anti-tank and anti-personnel action) and a heavy flame thrower. Additionally their backpack, which has both rocket and jet boosters to move the marines at very great speed, also contains a bombthrower armed with heavy grenades.


As the open battlefield is dominated by the L-HAC combat system and its sypporting marine troopers, so the tunnel, landing zone and spaceship corridor are dominated by these stealthy marines, their rock-hard armour suits not much larger than a man to assure access to tight spots, to coax the enemy out of his lair. However, the S.A.B. can always be found in the forefront of major combat operations, first on the ground, there and fighting before the others even arrive.


The models come five to a pack, four different troopers and a commander. Their arms are separate and have some posability and although they were originally designed to go with the respective bodies, are to some extent interchangable between the models.

Each model comes with two arm sets to portray the trooper with either the big missile launcher or the heavy flamethrower, as well as two loose weapons so that the one not being used can be depicted snapped onto the backpack.

These tough hombres will be released
next Wednesday, 14th April 2010.

  1. Looks great!

    By the way, any news about the Resistance Fighters under development by Khurasan?

  2. I wonder how those would look backed up by the 28mm Strike Infantry as 15mm bot/mechs? Sort of a half-size L-HAC? an L-MAC?

  3. Hi Oner, the resistance, at least the first three packs (the first set of militia fighters, the militia truck fighters, and the resin kit of their crawler truck) are being painted now and should be released next week. The resistance command is being cast. Heroes of the resistance are in the works, as well as is the diabolical genocidal overlord. I'm not sure when those will be done.

    If there's sufficient interest I'll have more made.

    By the way these will be released April 14, not May 14. :)
