Here we see two squads of infantry, led by Commander Black, advancing with support from a Boar APC and a Scythe assault fighter.
Of course, you've seen the Boar APC before. But I decided to put it permanently under Black Hat control, and altered its color scheme to remove as much white as possible. (The Boar is an ex-T.L.A. design, but they were all sold off as surplus as it was too slow to fit the T.L.A.'s style of play).
Commander Black with his command staff. Elite units are rare in the Black Hat force, but not entirely unheard-of. On the far right is a ninja infiltrator armed with a combination flail/beamsaber and an explosive charge dispenser. To the left of Commander Black (who wields a modified PHMG -- I steal all my weapon designs from you, you know) is a heavy trooper carrying an (again, stolen) storm bolter. The orange suited guys are medik/mechanik support.
View of the regular infantry force. The Black Hat Men prefer to use overwhelming numbers of cheap rifle troops, overwhelming their opponents with a massive barrage of fire. They have a few heavy weapons, though. There are 2 officers, 6 rifle grunts, a bazooka trooper, and a minigunner.
Closer look at the right hand squad.
And at the left hand squad. The troops without visored helmets are officers.
Scythe aerospace fighter. Not so much an air/space combat vehicle as an atmospheric fighter with a small rocket engine so that it can be deployed and recovered by orbiting spacecraft. It's slow compared to most modern aircraft, but surprisingly agile for its size and capable of carrying 8 inches of missile payload in addition to its twin-Mk.II guns. Also: retractable landing gear. The red markings on the fins and engines show that this particular craft is part of the elite Rouge Squadron.and that I don't have engines or fins in any other color. I'll post a mocpages gallery as soon as mocpages stops running slow again. And I need to take some new pictures.
I can't decide whether I like the wings forward or backward.
