New Anglian motor pool

One of the usual suspects for UNSC ops the New Anglians are a mid tech  force, fond of beer and sugary snacks.  I picked up some seated troops from GZG to crew my vehicles and liked the clean sculpts and separate bone domes. I've got six left to use as helo crew for a future project.

First priority was to issue them with a run-about so they can go explore 'Indian country'  and find the local nightclubs, take-aways and brothels, not necesaarialy in that order. You never know how the local population will take to the armed tourists, so they have this  converted ex-civilian speeder and a techie driver.




 Bribe the techie and he'll find an excuse to take the speeder out on a test run with you and your mates as an escort. If you bribe him enough he might even come and collect you when you find yourself  skint and friendless in a rough neighbourhood


One of the most fun missions is taking out the X-country trikes out for a spin. Not so fun if you run into trouble as they are unarmed. The New Anglians use these for running around on base, on range and in the field for courier and light recce duties. They do look a bit like mobility scooters tho'!





 This is the cargo hoversled, old and beaten, unloved but still performing faithfully, not fast, not beautiful, but very functional; great for shifting stores around base and doing odd jobs behind the battle lines. There were more in the unit but games of drunken dodgems took their toll.

More figure painted up - aliens and some vehicles.

Here's a selection of pics of my latest units painted up.

 My Tracked Explorer to go with my survey team, dirty and weather beaten but with a full GSR and signal detection suite, on board lab and top of the range games station.



A liberated speeder chopped and armed by New Anglian troops for recce. Not great in rough terrain but fast across flat, open country. First hint of trouble its out of there. Mainly used as an armed hack by troops on shore leave when the local hospitality is unpredictable.






New Anglian recce team, fast unarmed trikes, great in rough going or for popping down town to pick up the squad takeaway on a Friday night




Supply sled, hover tech cargo carrier. Usual seen rusting in the corner of the tech stores covered in parts, but comes in handy for  moving  kit around behind the FEBA.  Completely unarmed, so has  an escort to protect supplies or wounded personnel.





Metal Dogs, look strangely similar to the jackal headed dudes from SG. Short range blast staves are a bit of a liability but these guys are resolute and rarely back down without a scrap. No one knows where they came from  but found here and there subject populations to slavery. These guys wander around barefoot so they must be hard as nails.







 Cybernetics gone wrong, these humanoids have all the weaknesses of a biological body and all the limitations of a hybrid bio-robotic brain. Dumb as rocks and lacking in empathy these former criminals are 're-purposed' by their society. Offered service instead of death, they have nothing to lose.







It's not going to be a great day if you run into a nest of these mo-fo's. Cunning, fast and almost impossible to spot when hiding, these ambush predators want only one thing - to get you pregnant. If you're not up for that then you're lunch. Buckle up soldier!





Thanks for looking
