The heads are not separate heads in the Assault troopers packet so to increase variation I chopped the head off the SAW gunner, replacing it with a helmetless head off an alternative head sprue.
I used the same paint scheme as before (see earlier post) but with one difference. Having spent a little time playing the PS3 game Killzone 3, I noticed that the uniform lights and optics of the ISA troops are light blue. Dutifully I painted the optics on these figures in Citadel Regal Navy followed by a smaller dot of Ice blue... now I've got to go back and repaint the others!
The optional backpacks make the figures stand out from the original group and give them a real 'on campaign' look.
The poor SAW gunner now has to contend with male pattern baldness and a ruddy great backpack, as well as his cumbersome firearm!I used three of the figures from the command pack; I swapped the heads of the sniper and the officer and added backpacks for further variation.
They looks great. The backpacks and gear really give them the 'in-country' look.
