Very CSpecial Fades #04

Image
We're already at the halfway point, just 3 more fades to go after this one. And it's another Toxic fade, but a little meaner and moodier than the Aqua Toxic we kicked off with. Blue on blue always looks cool and we're pretty blown away by how badass this one turned out, especially with the Toxic Splash. Something about this whole package makes sense, we don't think this will hang around for too long. If you wanna get involved with the fade conversation then check out the  PBNation  thread and if you just wanna get your hands on one they'll ONLY be available at our  US Store  (sorry rest of the world). Say hello to Blue Toxic Splash Fade. ONLY available to buy from our  US Store  from 09:00am EDT / 05-01-17 You now the drill, let's see your comments, let us know what you love or don't love about these fades. Until next time.

Something for the less 'shouty' paintballer. Yesterday's blast of neon pink and purple may have been a touch strong for those who like their markers more subtle, so today's offering may be right up your street. It's called Olive/Black but actually the dark part of this fade is a very, very dark green and looks pretty neat in the metal. No entirely stealthy, but definitely more toned down. We may even go as far as saying classy. If you wanna get involved with the fade conversation then check out the  PBNation  thread and if you just wanna get your hands on one they'll ONLY be available at our  US Store  (sorry rest of the world). Say hello to Olive/Black (very dark green) Fade. ONLY available to buy from our  US Store  from 09:00am EDT / 04-30-17 As always, we wanna hear form you so drop a comment below and make us feel loved. Until tomorrow.

And we're off! What did you think of yesterday's fade? Pretty sweet right? Just to clarify - yesterday's fade is actually what is available to buy TODAY and the fade we show here will be available TOMORROW. Got it? Good. So, on with the show! Who doesn't like a bit of insane neon pink? Due to the popularity of our Tokyo CSR last year we thought we'd have a play with the colours on a CS1, but with a reverse element thrown in. A reverse fade starts and ends with the same colour, in this case Pink > Purple > Pink. If this is right up your street then check out the release time below or if it's too loud for your tastes...maybe something more subtle will follow? If you wanna get involved with the fade conversation then check out the  PBNation  thread and if you just wanna get your hands on one they'll ONLY be available at our  US Store  (sorry rest of the world). So here it is, the bright, the bold... Say hello to Pink/Purple (Reverse) Fade. ONL

Our production guys are always trying out new ways of making our markers look even prettier, which means we get to release some sweet looking markers into the wild that aren’t part of a larger run. We have 7 one-of-a-kind CS1 fades which have been through a tweaked fade process, meaning the colours blend smoother to create some stunning colour ways. The last time we did something similar we released all the colours to our email subscribers before they were available, but not this time. You’ll get a heads up here at our Blog and in this PBNation thread a day before the marker is released to buy. These will only be available to buy from our US Store  (sorry rest of the world). So, I guess you wanna see the first one right? Say hello to Aqua Toxic Splash Fade. ONLY available to buy from our US Store  from 09:00am EDT / 04-28-17 We’ll release one marker, per day, for the next 7 days (including today). Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more!

Bounty Hunters: The Spring Offensive

Image
After a four-month off season, Bounty Hunters were primed and ready for our 2017 season opener, The Spring Offensive at White River Paintball in Anderson, IN.  The first day began with the Bounty Hunters, along with our fellow British forces, sprinting from the beach and city into the woods to meet the advancing German forces. After an initial battle of attrition across the woodline, we wore down the German line, pushed into the woods, and surrounded the German base. With their backs against the wall, the Germans dispatched multiple air drops into the city, hoping to launch surprise attacks from behind our lines. When the air drops were successful and the Germans were able to take parts of the city, we sent groups to root out the Germans in building to building battles. When the air drops failed, as they did multiple times, the Germans were quickly annihilated in a hail of paint. By the end of the first day, the British lines had held and the majority of the ground was our

#03 - XSV to EGO

Image
For years we'd been creating custom add-on kits for other company's markers. We'd designed our own custom versions of the industry's most popular markers to make them cooler and better and we even created amazing electro upgrades for mech markers to make them perform at incredible levels, but we'll go deeper into all of these milestones later in the series. In 2004 we were finalising the development of something which defined us. Something that changed our path forever. That something was the EGO. Our very first paintball marker that was designed and built from the ground up, by us. But we needed something else to help us show the world just how good it was. "Our job is to give our teams the best possible tools to do the job, and that's what still drives us today." - Ledz (HMFIC Planet Eclipse) We approached Rich Telford at the 2004 NPPL Denver event to see if he'd be interested in signing Team XSV up as a Planet Eclipse team and to be THE

Tigers..... 'Some' Things Can Get Better..

Image
It's always nice to hear from our teams... Especially when they say cool stuff :-) From Steve Littlechild : All guns blazing into the new season. A 6th place finish for us at the first CPPS event of the season. A one place improvement on this time last year. Time to work harder, 4 weeks and counting until the next event. Thanks to Blitzed Media for the Picture. There's many things you can't guarantee in life. You can't guarantee the weather for example, nor can you guarantee where you'll place in any event despite being the best you can be at that time. But one thing you can guarantee in is the reliability of Planet markers.  

Black Eagles

http://black-eagles.nl/2017/ After a few months of winter break activities like training, field work and visiting other fields, we finally got together again for the start of the season. Spirits were high, adrenaline was pumping and everyone was very eager to get out there and test our new markers. It was really awesome to see almost every member in full  HDE  camouflage with matching Gtek's, a LV1.1 and a couple of 160R's. This year we can't blame the gear. Too bad the field had an urban/scenario setting and only a few bushes and trees, but we used them and the HDE to our full advantage, the shadowy room's and dark hallway's didn't require any form of camouflage since there were plenty of obstacles. But the next leg we get to use the environment again! Games were fast and hard and shots came from every door opening and corner, and with so many flanking routes no plan or strategy had any chance. Only by adapting and sticking to a few designated r
