More Gruntz. 15mm sci fi

Let me start by saying I thought I had lost my camera, but instead It was put somewhere "Safe!" And we  all know  what that means.

Yes I know the line is not perfectly straight. BUT it is close enough for me on a small vehicle. All the figures are 15mm Sci Fi. Look away now if you only like historical.  First up a specialist Medic in an ambulance or as I am going to call it a MASH vehicle. Mostly I will just say MASH, (Mobile Army Surgical Hover-Vehicle). You wil I am sure note te French roundals on the  door. (A common theme on all my Sci Fi Gruntz  French Interstellar Legion (FIL) Troops. He also has a medical robot with him but still has to carry a couple of (No doubt) both heavy and delicate cases. Things do not change.

Ok the Specialist Medic is as follows.

Base cost 1 Point
Wounds 5 ( he's a non-combatant) 5 Points
Guard Average +3 points
Soak 10 +0 points
Shoot green +0 points
Assualt Green +0 points
Mental (veteran =5 Points)
Skill Green +0 points
Total 14/2= 7 points

Perks Medic +4 Points =11 points.

No weapons at all. His job is to heal NOT fight)

MASH
base Cost 1
Scout  size +8 points
Hover motion +2
NO weapons at all

Total points cost 10 points .It's just a run about for the medic. All it does is transport te medic and his equipment. Nothing more. But I am sure some players will target it you know what they are like.

Not sure where the Robot came from, but the medic is part of Brigade games crew pack and the MASH is a Brigade games Mercenary hover jeep (A nice kit modified but costs £3)

 Next uip are some Ground zero games figures that were NOT part of the French Interstellar Legion But they needed a lick of paint. in my head (only) they are corporate mercenaries set to  guard a site. What they are aculally is a mystery. I must have either bought them while feeling flush of they were given to me I do not recall at this time.

      Thank you Dave. I do have one more of these Mash but it will be painted differently as I tend to need medics in games but not use them correctly. Fitters Truck soon and some mechanics!

    I totally agree with Dave's comment. I'm still in the dark about Gruntz, however.

      Thank you Bryan. I still have not played Gruntz so all the stats may e wrong. But I did want a medical unit of some sort. I am nearly in the dark about the rules but slowly getting there.

      Thank you Don. I have no idea if it will be effective in the game, but willing to try it out and see what happens. Fitters Truck soon.

    Nice job. The mercenaries will come in handy for additional support, objectives or other uses.

      Thank you Simon. I have yet to dig out my old Traveller figures. Bet some will be of use!Also working on some more support figures as well. More as ever to come.

    I think the importsnt thing is that the medic model vehicle and figure is obvious as to what they are meant to be and therefore very uasble (never mind the straight line ).
    It's always good to be able to get old figutes sorted and used and I like the mercs - usable in mnay scenarios.

      Thank you Joe. It's damn fiddly to get the lines straight by eye. But I do not think they are all that bad. Yes they could be better but you do not notice on the table-top.

      Thank you Lee. The camo works well on this small vehicle. I have 1 more to do, NOT a MASH. So will be full camo over it all. We shall see if that works as well.

    Great vehicle dude! I’m sure that cross looks very much like an “X marks the spot” for unscrupulous opponents

      Thanks Andy. I am sure. I am equally sure the Roundels on the door might be treated as Targets.
