I might try and fish some ideas here.
Just as a fun project with little chance of playing games for it, I got some 15mm scaled miniatures for two forces for the game “Stargrunt II”, a war game with focus on platoon level combat in narrative play and scenario match designs, no points costs for units and such, and a third player “the umpire” is recommended to work as a game master of sorts.
And the universe is basic, and made to be a backdrop more for the players to make their own setting than anything. So, I got one force that is the “Space UN Peacekeepers: Future Scandinavian contingent” that actually fire back. Green camo troopers with closed helmets, and white peacekeeper vehicles.
And I also have the “Predators: But military!” as well.
But I got a third force to be very generic as well, and to add variety for scenario games or opposing forces when introducing games.
Mercs. Something like “Boston Raiders” or something with khaki uniform, armour, and some green details on the armour because that is their “regimental colour”. And red visors. But they have vehicles too.
Or, one at least. But I don’t know what to paint it in. Desert camo feels very space age-y, but would it just be khaki (dull?), or some good current desert camo. Or for added fun times, kind of scuffed looking stuff that you would see in the earlier days of modern warfare? WW2 German camo, I am thinking.
What would you guys think would look neat? Fishing for ideas, and see what I am missing.
