31DEC23 Haydon Commando Pt. 3

 Figured I'd put in the good shots I took of these here in the last hour and a half (at time of writing) of 2023!  I need correct what I mentioned, you can only get the STL files through Kickstarter (we'll see if Mad Robot has any coming up)!  However, their resin casting is pretty top notch.  You can order a complete squad (10) or fireteam (5) troopers.  Just look for these specific items to match my build if you like: beret heads, heavy field packs, Haydon Pattern Las Rifles, Commando Torsos, Commando Standing Legs, and Commando Arms.

As far as seeking advice for how to paint DPM, and for that matter US M81 Woodland, I found the following blogs handy:

Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog (for DPM) from 08OCT08

Arcadia Prime (M81 Woodland) from 11FEB13

Both contained helpful, common sense, ideas on these patterns that worked out just fine for both of these patterns in 28mm.

"Alright Lads, lets give these Xenos, Traitors, and Heretics a rough go!"

So, prior to painting the Haydon Commando Paras above, I painted the "Rescue Team" (not assassins) below, following along pretty faithfully to Arcadia Prime's article linked above.  I need to find better photos of the Woodland, but it turned out just fine for this scale.
