A Bunch of 15mm Sci Fi.

Yep I am back on the 15mm Science Fiction. First up 2 "Snapdragon" studios storage lockers.  Very quick basic paint jobs, Primer base colour, gun metal door then a black wash and finally rust applied.  Quick simple and all done in an evening. No hassles at all. I would like some more "snap dragon studios" stuff and despite the fact these were originally 28mm they shall work very well as 15mm terrain. Overall very happy wit them and the fact I got them cheap 2nd hand at the Flea Market at Broadside so much the better.


Now I was one of the backers for "Ghosts of Hefei" Kick starter and I have heard nothing of it since I received my pledge parcel. Now I only got the rules and some 15mm figures so not a massive outlay. I only mention it as I have now painted the figures and am showing them all (that I got) today. The rules are OK and I do not object to having bought them but U am not sure I will ever play them.

 Firstly 6 security robots. The idea of the game is that you steal these. For me and using the Gruntz rules they make a para-military security robot force. Yes they ave mostly got different weapons and different sizes, but that is OK with me as they all look vaguely police and vaguely  official and not as powerful as ful blown military should be. So more figures to be happy with.

Lastly here is a 15mm "Gang" for the game, although I shall use them all as generis civilians in those few games where civilians are needed.
As mentioned they are all 15mm so the storage u its are included for scale.

That's it for today more 6mm stuff next or Maybe if the club get back to me today my plans for a show game next year.

Until then take care have fun and keep smiling (and in my case get some sleep).

    The crates look great Clint, very effective, the 15 mm models look very well detailed for the scale, and very well painted

      Thank you Dave. The figures are nice very slim which is no bad thing at all. But the detail is consequently soft. But they were well cast and I for one would be happy to have more.

      Thank you Tamsin. It all adds to the game. As wargamers we all like the extras.

    Proportionally these 15mms look a lot bette than many 28s I've seen and the crates look very useful too.
    Robots of course are probably essential for any Sci-fi game in one form or another and of course can be used across many scales (just look at Asimo!).

      Thank you Joe. You are correct in that robots can be of any scale if used in an appropriate way. Painting these has made a nice change from 6mm sci fi and that is for sure.

    A nice haul of figures and scenery. Good to see so much ethnic diversity amongst the humans.

      Thank you Bryan. As far as I am concerned in Sci Fi there is no colour bar! The figures are nice and if I see more on eBay at the right price I will get them.

      Thank you Lee. The shipping containers were an easy paint as mentioned above. And as for Snapdragon... well I always want more of there stuff when I can.

    Nicely done Clint, I love the idea of rustling robots, could be fun.

      Thank you Michael. I also like the idea of stealing robots. I think the reason the game has not done well is 3 fold. 1) it should I think have stuck to just 28mm. 2) Building the terrain could be fraught with difficulties. and 3)The nationalities of the gangs. I may be wrong of course they are just my uninformed opinions.
