Street Violence

 I've been plugging away at a large batch of figures, and after tonight I finally have some finished figures to show! These are mostly from Wargames Foundry's Street Violence range, and most of them will be on the table for my game at Wargames Among the Warplanes. 

First up, a set of regular uniformed police:

These regular police won't be on the table in June, but they'll be useful in games before and after nonetheless. My favorite's the fat guy on the end with his coffee and bag of doughnuts.

Then, two teams of police in SWAT gear with more intense weaponry - SMGs, a sniper rifle, a grenade launcher, even an automatic rifle. These two groups will be included in the game in June; they'll be tasked with arresting the various gangsters running wild on the table. 

Also in the mix were three non-Foundry figures. A pair of bodyguards from Copplestone Castings' "Future Wars" line, and a SWAT bomb disposal specialist from The Assault Group. The bomb disposal guy was an impulse buy a few months back, and has a robot that I haven't painted yet; I figure he'll be a good scenario figure somewhere along the line. 

The two Copplestone figures will be incorporated into gangs for June's game - the fellow in the trenchcoat will be in one of the mafia gangs on the table, while the woman in the green dress joins the Jamaican Kings:

The other four figures here I painted late last year and are from Wargames Foundry; the fifth figure in the pack, a woman in sunglasses wearing a trench coat and carrying a katana, seemed out of place. This figure from the Copplestone bodyguards pack fits in nicely, I think. 

So what's next? Well, I got a package the other day containing a mix of Foundry and Copplestone figures that'll give me enough mafiosos and well-dressed gunmen to give me the three Mafia gangs I need for June. Plus, the Foundry "Mob" pack has a fashionable young woman in a short dress and tall boots, who will be a major scenario figure for the June game. 

So that's another 18 figures painted, and I've already factored in the 18 I've bought, so let's update the tracker:
