I enjoyed painting the Cyclos Heavy Weapons Team, so I decided to paint more convict infantry!

Cyclos Heavy Weapons Teams in EBS

One challenge when taking painting projects from Ye Olde Lead Pile is that the old packs are often not the same as the new packs. So I've discovered that while these figures are still offered by the manufacturer, they are no longer sold as a set. From what I can tell, what they have in common is that they are all equipped with heavy weapons, and all are wearing Enviro Battle Suits (EBS).

According to my notes, this is a Cyclo ESWF. F could be flamethrower? Looks like one to me…

The same figure is now available as one of three figures in the Cyclos Heavy Weapons Team in EBS I set, described in the catalog as "This team is fully equipped with Chain Guns." So chain gun, not a flamethrower.

My notes tell me this one is a Cyclo ESWRR. RR might mean recoilless rifle…

And in fact, the same figure is now in the Cyclos Heavy Weapons Team in EBS III set, described in the catalog as: "Recoilless Rifles give this team plenty of hitting power."

The easy part about painting these figures is that I simply followed the previous paint scheme. Convicts in yellow seems traditional.

My notes tell me this is a Cyclo ESWCG. CG might stand for chain gun…

This figure is currently available in the Cyclos Heavy Weapons Team in EBS II set, described as "Heavy Flamers equip this team." So flamers, not chain guns.

This plus my previous project gives me six Cyclos with heavy weapons. I would think I need just plain Cyclos grunts next, or maybe some control officers, but we'll see what the Old Lead Pile coughs up!
