Hmm. Have a look at the latest signs and portents, the article featuring the civilian mob and the rebel squad might be a good starting point. Also take a look at Wargames Foundry figures if you want SWAT. They're expensive, but nice. http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/SV/index.asp 8)

Does anyone know if the models from www.theassaultgroup.com would be suitable for BF:Evo? Some of the British models look really good but I wonder how useful they'd be. There are men with SA80s, men with LSWs, men with Minimis, GPMG teams, mortar teams, Marines, various regiments and SAS, but they're not in the very latest kit. No FIST gear or underslung grenade launchers.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I have a bunch of TAG minis and they look very good, keep away from the marines tho, i hear they are oversized, but then again that might just be a rumour
i don't think they'll look proper next to BF:evo stuff tho, it seems to be more real than heroic

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Heroic? What do you mean? :?

 

[Hiromoon]

Heroic 28mm (closer to 30 - 32 mm)....

 

[Lord David the Denied]

I see...

 

[Hiromoon]

Yep.

The Assault Group is a pretty nice company for miniatures.

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Prices look ok and the models look well made. I was thinking they might do as substitutes for the pre-painted stuff.

ey so ive got some people looking at them great just for some rules the swat minis look awesome

 

[Lord David the Denied]

SWAT blokes are only coppers, so I'd give them watered-down special forces stats. Since they're yanks, base them on the Force Recon lads when they come out.

 

[zlatan]

hmm i was thinking cause there the countrys elite police giving them good stats and the terrorists watered down special forces

 

[Lord David the Denied]

For the terrorists you could just lift MEA civilian mob stats. For the SWAT it's got to be watered-down SF stats. They might be the bets of the police, but they're not soldiers and they're not as good as real special forces.

Alternatively, use SAS stats and the SWAT models to represent them in CT kit. Modify them a bit to get rid of the assault rifles and replace them with MP5s.

i like the assault rifles i will modify a few thanks for your help mate

 

[Lord David the Denied]

No worries.

Once the rules or game comes out we can talk about all the stuff we will be adding....

I would like to turn Bf Evo mixed with Gomc to do a one on one skirmish system, i have already done weapons, just need to add a "Skill" for shooting something like the Agi roll in gangs etc...

Anybody done anything like that with the old Sst rules...?
