This is the second half of the Spectre two-player starter. They all have very nice hats.
I haven’t gotten a game in yet. I don’t think this game lends itself well to play with the kids.
Maybe somebody has a Metal Gear style single player mode.
Back at Adepticon 2019, Spectre caught my eye in the vendor hall. I didn’t make the time to find a demo, but eagerly signed up for a newbies welcome in 2020. Well, 2020 didn’t happen, so I ordered some product anyways.
Spectre is an ultramodern skirmish game, depicting special forces, insurgents, terrorists, and other types.
This is half of the two-player starter set. The models are relatively small scale (20mm bases!) with realistically proportioned weapons. That means bendy barrels! At least they’re metal and can be bent back pretty easily.
Between the cyberpunk themed Malifaux 1988 set and the alt Metal Golem coming standalone, I needed to do something for the Metal Gamin. I decided some kind of cyber dogs would be a good fit and found these Necromunda models.
The box only comes with two cyber puppies, but that ought to be enough.
I guess they wouldn’t be tournament legal, but I barely ever play in such events.
I also needed to do something about Neil Henry. The M3E box is packed with Willie, which I already have the alt for. This dude with a giant hammer was in the box with the puppies, so he’ll do, at least for now. I wasn’t finding a way to make him more Malifaux-y, so I used some of the other bits in the package on Bayou Engineering so he doesn’t stand out quite so much.
The Bayou Engineering box is somewhat oddly in keyword with Mei Feng, so naturally I needed it to go with my Malifaux 1988 set.
A healthy smattering of orange will help to unify the color scheme.
The models already have a pretty good cyberpunk quality. To enhance it, and help tie together some planned proxies, I used bits from the Necromunda Arms Masters and Wreckers box.
Hmm, between this and the Soulstone Miners I have a healthy chunk of the Tricksy keyword. Oh, Wyrd, you clever fools..
