MERCS Recon: SecFor 2 Painted

And here is my second batch of MERCS Recon SecFor models done. I used the same colour palette for these models that I used for my other SecFor models, and I think it achieved what I was aiming for - all my SecFor models look really dark when compared to my MERCS models.

So this week I should have been painting through my other 10 SecFor models, but something sidetracked me and I didn't get any hobby done - but it was nice to have a little break from batch painting!

MERCS Recon: SecFor 1 Painted

Here's my first batch of SecFor models painted up! With my SecFor models, I am aiming for a very drab colour palette so that they will have a heavy contrast against my brightly coloured MERCS models. I also left the bases black, so the models would be terrain neutral, and suited to office buildings they'll be defending.

MERCS Recon: SecFor Undercoated

I thought I'd get started on painting my MERCS Recon SecFor while the wait for Wave 2 of my MERCS Recon Kickstarter pledge stretches out.

Since these aren't MERCS models and there are 5 identical models with 4 different variants, I'll be batch painting the SecFor models, with the aim of having one batch finished each week.

I use old postage boxes to hold my models in place while I
spray undercoat.

I attach the models to the box using double-sided sticky tape.
Note that the models are not attached to their bases.

Army Painter!

I prefer a very light coat of paint for my undercoats, so as not to
risk losing detail on the models.
It was quite humid today, so not optimum for spray painting,
 but the models should turn out OK after a coat of paint.

MERCS Recon: SecFor Assembled

I finished repainting my EU Inc Recon Squad last night (I'll snap some photos over the weekend) so I thought I would start work on my MERCS Recon SecFor models.

These models are fantastic - minimal cleaning/assembly required, and each of the four sculpts are very detailed.
I thought it would take much longer to get the 20 SecFor models from both Counter Threat and Assassination Protocol finished, but all up it only took an hour or so.

I'm very tempted to start painting these models, but it would take me 4 weeks to paint these 20 models and I'm not sure that I'm willing to make the commitment.
MERCS Recon Wave 2 should be arriving in early March (fingers crossed) and as soon as it does, I'll have ONE HUNDRED MERCS models added to my workbench - and that's not including all the extra SecFor/Zombie models I'll be receiving either!

My plan going forward is to prioritise MERCS 2.0 tabletop, so I'll be painting MERCS models and preparing more terrain... which means the SecFor models will be bare plastic for the foreseeable future!
