ok what is project MEA

well its my project for home games to make then MEA a bit more usable

first thing i realised was Need more Technicals

second a Tank

and 3rd a proper tank lol.

so first up more technicals

i had 3 of the MGP ones and used toy cars with some corgi figs to make the others.

i like them but will buy some more MGP ones to exspand upon them, and tourney use.

Next up was a tank, at first for a game we used a T-72 but one drunken night i thought how cool would it be to spray camo on the tank with available sprays !!! it looked PAP :( so it needed a repaint, taking it apart it came to me, why not turn it into a Tunguska as on hiros cool card project, so i came up with this, again for home games only.

im pleased with them evan if they arnt as awsome as the real thing they make great proxies and mean i get to game with them straight away.

next up was the need for a tank again, a bigger tank than a T-72 i think. so the Zulfiqar was in order, from speaking to people the tankis pretty much identicla to the Type 99 for game purposes so for now that would suit us for our home games, the Zulfiqar is a tank produced in Iran protector of the islamic faith for many, the iranian flag is also a big symbol of the islamic faith so for these reasons i used the current iranian flag on my tank.

last night befor i finished the Zulfiqars i took a pic of my MEA army as they are at the moment, with all this gear i think they are still under 2k, if you look i also have 2 truck technicals in progress they should be finished by tonight i hope.

so why have i done this, well to prove that you can for home games produce a MEA force to keep you going, and replace bits as you get chance with official modles, in the mean time you can test stuff to see if you actualy do whant it when it is released.

any ways hope you liked the pics.
 
It all looks really good, especially once it's all put together, but how do you find all this time to knock out a complete small MEA army in a good week? :shock:
 
the paint brush called me to quickly finish my last 2 technicals

so here thay are, paint still a little wet.

inspiration for these was from tales of the blue trucks used as technicals, i didnt do them both blue as i like to get a mix of colours in so it all looks less uniform and easier to plonk stuf into, and it also camos them against the destroyed street cars i have.

YAY

Now what !!!
 
cheers for your nice comments guys

Where did the gunners for the technicals come from?

they are the US figs in 1/64 scale from corgi, just paint them with globs of bleached bone, and then paint headress on in layered paint to hide detail of uniform and helmet, finaly brown hands and a stripe for face, quick and easy.
 
I've always been a bit of a mad scientist... (Ask Rogue, he'll vouch, I'm nuts.)

Personally, I have always wondered why technicals have to be so simple, with a simple machinegun in an open position on the back of insert vehicle of choice here.

So if somebody doesn't beat me to it, one of these days I'm gonna do what I want to call a "Super Technical" that I always have in mind, basically taking an old WWII bomber's dorsal turret, in style, and mounting it on the back section of a station wagon, or other suitable vehicle.

You were looking for ideas, Evil... there ya go. An actual turret-enclosed heavy technical.
 
lol

how would it rotate
also technicals often have to get through check points.

this is the thing all a technical is, is a truck/car with a weapon mounted and infantry with rifles.

a super technical sounds like an A Team job to me :D

Katyushas being so long range I'd only want to use them in as an oof board asset, an objective, or as one of those strategy/random event cards.

But I had been thinking about those, oh yes I have.
 
Evil, you write too much, cant find the proper link to put this in, annyhow,

badly cut but you get the idea.. why keep em to the hiluxes.. i want somthing bad ass : P
