NEW VERMS : TEAM TRAVIS UNDER WAY

A new set of Verms is under construction.
They are based on the Airfix SAS set which I think is one of the best they produced.

Every man in the reduced  size box one now gets can be used.

A little work with foam, wire and plastic remnants from my build box let me produce the following pack of Verms.

Of course 1 figure was stuck in the box and escaped conversion, for now (left).

 Let's have a look at the figures after their visit to the plastic surgeon .....

GRENADIERS

No grenade projectors for Team Travis..they will all be well-trained bomb-chuckers. Maybe with more variety of bombs available.

GUNNERS

 Team Travis will use ancient SMGs which were found to be handy in tight spaces, low powered enough to avoid puncturing bulkheads but with enough kick to damage most pests.

PULSE-RIFLES AT THE READY

 Team Travis will have some heavy laser rifles. These will be very accurate, have no range attenuation but be encumbering because of the battery pack.

Such a great figure... dashing gunners

 Maybe the running gunners will get something extra added later.

Maybe Team Travis can have a flamer with higher capacity? Looks heavy enough..

Incapacitated

The YOU figure.

The team is named after the dodgy Federation Commander in Blake's Seven. Blake shot his eye out (the only thing Blake ever did ? ). Travis led the elite troops which were some of the worst products of the BBC wardrobe ever seen. The puniness of their guns/blasters had to be seen to be believed.

The SAS lend themselves to this kind of elite deadly and, most importantly, cheapo, type of fighter to form a new Verm team. They should have little trouble performing more effectively than their prototypes.

Now they just need to be painted in DF livery.

And finally, a look at some of the things I am preparing for Awaydays. A defensive tower quipped with a Robo-gun.
