This figure will be part of the HQ section of Armiesarmy Kickstarter campaign link The combat medic provides rapid response first aid and trauma care on the battlefield and also packs a steely punch with his advanced combat rifle.Care and protection of his men, are his first priority.
link All feedback welcome thanks |

I like the concept and the pose. The headgear seems to imply a specialized medical helmet with perhaps improved optics and a HUD-based scanning system? -Eli |

His left arm in the sketch is stunted, but the concept in itself is very intriguing |

Ya, I noticed that too, but it's not a big deal. This is the sort of thing that is easily corrected by either a note to or by relying on the artistic abilities of your sculptor. A heck of a lot easier than the turn around on getting a revision done. -Eli |

Yep specialised helmet and equipment. Id missed the arm, however such a nice sketch Im happy to let is pass. As you say Eli, the sculptor can address this thanks Keith |

This looks really cool. I like medic minis, useful, but sometimes overlooked. |

Nice addition!!!one more reason for me to join the kickstarter I'm glad that he's armed, most people get the medic all wrong…he's backpack should be pretty huge considering all the stuff he's carrying.If u need any info or pictures of combat medic stuff p.m me I was deployed as one when I was active duty.Keep up the awesome work! |

Cheers all recondo
Can you drop me an email at my blog/kickstarter. I'd love to pick your brains on the combat medic. For some reason I can't pm you Cheers Keith |

@Recondo: depends on the branch of service. Friend of mine is a medic, his medic pack is exactly the same size and appearance as a regular assault pack, so he looks pretty much just like every other grunt. His assistants (the Combat Lifesavers) are the ones carrying big honking extra bags. But that's US practice, not UK. |

Please forgive me for the over-sized picture. I'm still learning, this is a pic of one of my standard aid bags.The bag is a US.Army combat medic version as of this last year its packed to the brim but still doesn't have a few parts that I didn't feel were necessary.I guess when I met huge I might have exaggerated a bit since I have to carry this big sucker around with a rucksack and a full combat load… not to mention body armor, rifle and Kevlar.I'll look for more small pictures of the few bags I have with maybe a few pics of all the goodies inside. Keith-I'm not sure of how to p.m just yet still new to tmp but ill figure it out and drop you a line. |

The pic is blocked at work….so Ill look at it when I get home. Many thanks! Keith |

LOL, Jared, you got me and Keith mixed up. Both Keith and I agreed that the arm is fine for a sketch and adequately communicates the design. It's Keith's call but I think he'd agree that a little thing like that hardly destroys the overall concept. -Eli |
| Lord Artemis | 14 Nov 2012 6:52 p.m. PST |
Oops, sorry guys! As for the sketch, i know, but i have a reputation to protect! haha ~Jared |

Yer a good man, Jared  |

Beautifully done finally some of the combat specialties that are so often neglected are recognized. What's next in the pipeline A Forward Observation team with an R.O & F.O or possibly Electronic Warfare Specialist both of which I would love to see. I will hopefully be able to put into the Kickstarter next month when I get Paid, If I can Budget it in £25.00 GBP is roughly $40 USD US I believe. If not I'll have to budget in for another human force over the next few months so I can pick up at least a Platoon preferably a Company. |

For the HQ set
I will produce a 5 man HQ pack. Each pack will contain 2 commanders, 1 medic, 1 Forward Observer and 1 Communications specialist. The FO and Comms figure can be used for multiple choices, similar to the Rusk's gun team.
and thanks for your support. Appreciated |
