SPIES AND INTELLIGENCE MEN (2) - BUF

A first look at the BUF Field Security Police Detachment stationed in Little Hereford - dark suits, black leather coats and intimidating fedoras. Perfect to serve as the Autumn Big Game 2023 "Intelligence Section" for any BUF or HMG player, five of the section have exactly the same pose ("the Intelligence Agents") while the sixth is clearly the merciless commander ("the Intelligence Leader") - see the Scenario HERE


The Intelligence Leader is a Jim Bowen/Monolith Designs figure (sadly now OOP), while the Intelligence Agents are plastic "Heroclix" figures, rebased and with their paintwork "refreshed".


The Heroclix "donor figure" for BUF Intelligence Agents. Already pre-painted, but easy to
touch up with some detail work.

Another plastic "Heroclix" figure that could have served as the "Intelligence Leader",
but for the availability of the OOP Monolith Designs figure.

Using "Heroclix" figures is rather tricky, for they vary considerably in 'scale', and the more recent releases have been too large to be useable at all. The "Maggia Goon" figures used for the BUF Intelligence Section are all around the "bulky 30mm" range, while the Monolith Design OOP "Intelligence Leader" comes in the "small 40mm" range. "Scale fanatics" should therefore avoid such heresy, but many others argue that BUF "Goons" should be big and bulky bullies.....
