Tier Element for Spectre

    In Spectre there are four training level categories: Enlisted, Veteran, Tier 2 (Specialist Units) and Tier 1 (Elite Forces). Each has an Infantry Element composition of one to seven soldiers with Tier 1 to cost the most points. 

   I have five models of Wargames Atlantic Operators, which are enough for a Tier Element. Apart from their weapons I gave to each one of them a knife from Warlord Games US Rangers sprue and a flag from the US Airborne decal sheet.

Mercenary Element for Spectre Operations 3rd edition

    A very good friend of mine plays Spectre Operation 3rd edition, which is a nice system of rules for wargames set in the modern era.

   Each player has a force that consists of elements. One category of these elements is the Mercenaries. When my friend gave me two sprues of Wargames Atlantic (WA) Operators, I decided to build a seven-man element of a sargent and six mercenaries.

The Mercenary Element

   I wanted the mercenaries to have a look that would distinguish them from the original  Operators. So I kept only three of the Operators' heads, the ones with berets, and for the rest four mercenaries I used three spare Perry Miniature (PM) Sudanese tribesmen heads and a Gripping Beasts (GB) Arab Heavy Cavalry head. Also I gave them a chin curtain beard of Green Stuff like the one that Abraham Lincoln had, to unify them.

   I trimmed this mercenary's hair behind his ears and gave him a long hair of Green Stuff to cover the gap at his neck.

   I didn't want them to have a full uniform, so I painted their trousers black.

The sargent

   Sargent's binoculars are from a Warlord Games Germans WW2 sprue.

   All the bases have an urban style. The asphalt is pieces of black sandpaper, the rest are little rocks, sand and parts from various sprues.
