HUMINT, March 2011, Vol. 2: new releases for gaming "moderns"

HUMINT = human intelligence. A new series of posts on my blog about news of various tabletop miniature producing companies concerning "moderns". The pictures were taken off the producers' catalogues with their prior permission. Cheers for that guys!
Links to their webshops can be found within the right column of my blog (see sources for 20mm....).

S&S releases for March 2011:

Shaun and Stewart have been busy once again and so we get another bunch of brand new vehicles this month. The Special Forces Quad Bikes were created with help from Brian. There are going to be various riders to man them.

"War Pig" United States Special Forces vehicle.

Shaun said: "this has mostly moulded in stowage, but does have metal stowage that can be added or left off, the crew figs are from Elhiem, thanks to Matt for the license agreement, and to Simon Ford for badgering us both to do it. (...) the rear gun and seat are separate and again can be changed, the gun will be a .50cal HMG, but a 40mm Grenade Machine Gun or GPMG (General Purpose MG) option is available. Although you will not be able to buy them just yet, they will surely be ideal for those Ambush Alley games. My thanks to Mark Taylor for the paint job."

Land Rover WMIK of the British Special Forces.

Shaun said "...it has lots of metal stowage and will have 3 crew, you can choose between beret, helmet, floppy hat or spec ops crews. Main armament can be either .50cal HMG or 40mm Grenade Machine Gun."
