Hi Brian,
Some people have done excellent Mars-style suited forces with our
figures in light-duty vacc suits - there is only one pack of ARMED
guys (SG15-V15), but the unarmed ones (V10, and especially the recent
V17 survey team) can be converted and/or used as command, comms and
weapons crew to supplement the V15 figs with their mix of SMG and
rifle type weapons.
They work very well as local militia forces wearing their regular
"civilian" vacc-suits but carrying weapons; they can be supplemented
by some of the V14 heavy EVA suit guys with weapons, to give you some
troops wearing heavier suits for extra protection.
