Micropanzer SAS

Here are the MicroPanzer SAS painted up in "urban" Mars Cammo.
These are going to represent Starship and Starport Security Forces. These are very nice chunky GZGesque minis that have a good amount of detail that takes well to my painting method of relying on the wash to bring out the details.
i cannot recommend these enough, and Jason is a treat to deal with. MicroPanzer should be supported in his goal to bring his line and game to fruition. coming soonish SAS in non urban Mars Cammo and his alien painted in an ERB Thark fashion.
As always click on the image it might get bigger.

late update

yea so I ran my game at the CON. I made the mistake of NOT saying mature audiences so it was listed as 15+ OK. Which i figured would be fine. However i wasn't counting on a parent bringing a less than 15 yr old as if he was going to play with him, then wandering off not to return, or the other "parent" that brought a 15+ and his little brother then proceeded to read a news paper. The adults that had played in previous games i've run with tickets walked away before the game started not wanting to play vs children, but leaving a few empty spots. I can't blame them. Luckily i had the game set up as 3 - one on one games so we were able to carry on.
RE the USE ME rules all of the kids picked them up fast and by turn 3 were going at it with little prompting.
I will never run another game without clearly stating ADULT THEMES MATURE AUDIENCES. I was seriously appalled at the "father" that abandoned his child at my table, and the jingoist rhetoric that freely spewed from his mouth. just vomiting back his parents and the TVs ignorance " everyone not toting the party line or protesting is a terrorist. " He settled down after I pointed out that George Washington and the rest of our founding fathers were considered Terrorists by the British Crown, and advising that such talk would NOT be tolerated at my table. It was nice to see the 15+ yr old hand him his ass since he underestimated the determined Militia of the Workers Union, and rolled poorly at critical times.
I didn't take any pics, however here are some pics from when GPT and I got in 5 games on e weekend.
