Along with the Locusts I also received a pack of SEALs, which were quite wonderful to behold. No flash, no moldlines, just a few burs on their bases to sand off and one or two on the SEALs with Rifle-GLs. Here's some photos of the SEALs in bare metal; I doubt I can do much to review them since moderns aren't really my thing.
The four rifle armed members of the pack, apparently in CQB configuration rather than the stated bullpup configuration. The goggles are what sold me on using them as my sci-fi SWAT team, and their short-barreled weapons didn't hurt either.
Two team members were armed with Rifle-GLs. The springing into action pose is quite convincing.
The sniper and SAW gunner will be the hardest for me to use; I suspect they'll end up in the 2nd team to arrive to the scene of the crime. The box magazine is the only thing that makes the SAW gunner stand out, so a strong contrasting color will probably have to be used. The sniper rifle arrived bent (as they are wont to do) but was easily bent back into place without damage.
The SEALs come with separate, fairly nondescript packs that are nice enough, but I'm leaving them off. At some point I'll probably trade them or stick them on some OCLF or JNDF figures.

Thanks for the review! I'm also planning on getting some and painting them as a sci fi police SWAT team - or a scout unit for my GZG NAC!
ReplyDeleteMine are ordered, great models. Maybe put a backpack on the SAW guy to help him stand out? I'm going to do that plus some sort of muzzle enhancement.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! I'm planning on getting these to use as a 15mm Sci-Fi SpecOps team actually.
ReplyDeletethanks!

They are also quite nice as Battlestar Galactica Marines.
