After a lot of painting, I'm down to only seven models to paint for Sunday, an Assault Kommando Flamethrower and a unit of Doomreavers. Last night was my largest unit, the winter guard infantry.
I will admit that my painting skills leave a lot to be desired, my only hope is that they get better with time and practice.
I'd previously painted up my Widowmakers and Widowmaker Marksman. This squad will now be known as the 12th Widowsmakers Squad, "The Red Ghosts" with their Marksman mentor.
I've put a quick summary of the 12th below, can anyone tell me which TV series the names come from?
The puzzle is at the end of the entry for today.
12th Widowmakers
The Red Ghosts are known for their abilities in camouflage and psychological warfare, their distinctive red cloaks often being the last thing a dying man may glimpse. The squad is composed of four individuals:- Kate - the leader of the squad, a dedicated sniper and expert at tracking, rose to leadership quickly after being selected out of the Winter Guard Infantry training regiments.
- Rick - a maverick, a self made rich man who decided to serve the motherland, his off the wall ideas contribute greatly to the psychological tricks the squad uses against the enemy.
- Javier - a veteran of the Winter Guard and Assault Kommando, the military lifer who knows almost every trick in the book.
- Kevin - a former infantryman assigned to border defence, selected for his unerring attention to detail and diligence in the unit 'grunt' work.
The Red Ghosts are often accompanied by their marksman mentor Roy, a veteran of many campaigns, who took it upon himself to further train these snipers. Many a time, Roy has stepped in to assist against particularly tenacious foes.
