adds more pro-painted monsters to his collection.
The good folks at Mongoose were kind enough to send along some of their new pre-painted sets for Battlefield Evolution - and since there has been a lot of interest in the game, I wanted to get some photos up here on TMP.
The Middle Eastern Alliance [MEA]
The people of the Middle East have a long and proud history, riddled by the predations of other countries. While possessing little home-grown military technology of their own, they have never lacked for support and if sheer strength of will counts for anything on the modern battlefield, they may be unbeatable. The average Middle Eastern fighter lacks the training, equipment and support of his Western counterpart but is fiercely dedicated to his way of life and when cluster bombs start falling upon his town, will prove to be an intractable enemy.
Never giving an inch to an invader, the men and women of the MEA have vowed to defeat their oppressors... they are staunch defenders of their ideals, capable of giving any attacker a bloody nose.
MEA Infantry Squad
The first set available for the MEA are their "average" infantry squad, armed with AK-103 assault rifles and RPG-29's.
The boxed set comprises four standing and four kneeling figures.
One of the standing figures is unique, and - given his dramatic black robes - is probably the leader.
The other standing figures look to be identical figures to me, but with different paint schemes:
Three of the kneeling figures also look to be identical, but with differing clothing and headgear colors:
A unique kneeling figure bears the RPG-29:
The figures are molded from a plastic that is fairly stiff. The base bottoms are smooth, with no identification information.
