15mm Sci Fi - GZG Mercenaries (ESU Special Operations Recon Team in Urban Camo)

 These guys are part 2 of my GZG Christmas Mercenary packs.  Yay!  

Having no real use for these figures (already having over 200 GZG mercs of various types already painted), I did these guys up in an urban camo scheme.  They will work for Zone Alpha games, or any other small unit set as a special operations team.  

The scheme was a variant of my Taiga scheme.  At 15mm, camo (IMO), needs to be bold and cartoonish (same as highlighting as well).  Otherwise, from a distance it will simply look like a blob of color and be relatively indistinguishable.  

• Primed Grey
• Tamiya Light Blue basecoat.  This is a nice color for urban schemes.
• Vallejo Model Air Anthracite Grey
• Vallejo Model Color White Grey
• Vallejo German Camo Beige on sleeping bags
• Vallejo Sea Grey on all weapons and webbing.
• Vallejo Model Color Black on the berets and boots.
• Vallejo Basic Skin Tone on, well the skin.
• Washed in thinned Polyshades Tudor.
• Uniform highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Light Sea Grey.
• Sleeping bags highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Deck Tan.
• Weapons washed in Nuln Oil.
• Skin washed with GW Contrast Guiliman Flesh (thinned to a glaze consistency with Contrast medium)
• Webbing highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Light Grey and Model Air Grey.

ESU forces clear out a partisan holdout, securing stolen nuclear munitions.

Bio-weapons are the preferred tools of the Capitalist Partisans.  

Vigilance!

RPK-80 gunners stand ready.

"Onwards Comrades!"

This completes my mini Zone Alpha Project.  I really did not need these guys, but I enjoy painting small camo units, and honestly, even after thousands of them, I never get tired of painting GZG figures.
