Category: 15mm sci-fi

Seems like every week miniature wargame manufacturers are adding more and more female character types to their catalogs, and 15mm figures are no exception.  Today we feature a small pack of shorties from Bombshell Miniatures.  They’ve got a full catalog of big figures with full figures, but just the...

Quick shot of some bystanders for 15mm sci-fi games.  First up, four dudes in space suits of one sort or another.  I think they are all from 15mm.co.uk.  From left to right:  ?, HOF57A, HOF86C, and HOF86C Can’t find that guy on the left anywhere on 15mm.co.uk’s website,...

The first stage of any terrain project is planning, and for the rooftop fights and infiltrations, there won’t be any drop cloth – only the tippy-top levels of large buildings.  They may be anywhere from three to fifty stories tall.  The precise height doesn’t really matter since we’re only...

A long, long time ago, I painted up a few gangs for 15mm Necromunda games. One of the gangs consisted of GZG’s space mercenaries.  From the files In order make a decent opposing force for my son’s Space dwarves, I tried to add some power armor to the mix...

Let’s add to the pile of comparison shots floating around the web, shall we?  Last week I showed you the three power armored figures added to my space orc/space mercenary/mangalore squad.  Here’s a shot of the figures side by side: Just noticed that one of the guys on the...

Hark!  The painting muse is upon me! Three new figures from 15mm.co.uk in the painted pile.  A civilian type alien, a grey dog or wolf, and an alien strongarm type.  The robed holy-alien will fill out crowds of civilians in urban/spaceport environs.  The dog was picked up for sentry...

These 15mm octopods from 15mm.co.uk’s HOF line were supposed to be three adventurer types, but after painting them up, I couldn’t resist buying another pack of ten to make a full team.  Those are still in the mail, but will make for some nice grunts to round out this force....

Now with actual photos!  My game time is limited to those rare weekend afternoons when the “To Do List” is somewhat shorter than my disproportionately long forearms.  Painting, however, that can happen any night of the week.  Not only that, but my primary opponent is travelling the American...

This past weekend the boy and I played our first legit game of FiveCore.  His ragtag spaceship crew was hired by the local authorities to escort a key witness across town to the safety of a waiting armored vehicle.  My gangster and his hired goons, triplets in heavy armor,...

Look at all this personality.  These guys are great.  Brutal beasts, galumphing stocky blobs, and thin mysterious snakemen.  We truly live in a golden age of 15mm figures.  So many choices, I could could paint nothing but random aliens for a year and never run out. Khurasan on the...
