15mm.co.uk Fat Alien

A lot of the 15mm sci-fi offerings from 15mm.co.uk can be a bit rough, but many possess a certain charm and utility that I have come to love. The Octopods I have recently been featuring come to mind. Today I've got a great alien to show off from this same company. He fairly oozes personality and I plan to use him as a crime boss or other important NPC.










I could certainly see this guy commanding a horde of alien thugs for sure!

Thanks for visiting!

Ok, Who Ordered The Squid, Again?

As I finished a fourth Octopod yesterday, I thought it might be cool to photograph them with my two other painted, squid/octopus headed 15mm figures.  So behold a sextet of squid-headed menace!



Unreleased Space Knight & OOP Ral Partha Mind Flayer.
 


Before folks start asking, I finally do have a plan afoot to get the above Space Knight and his human counterpart (pictured here) released. More on that as I can share it.

Khurasan Scientist

I love Khurasan miniatures excellent Scientists pack, and this guy was my favorite among them--what character and dynamism!  Another Bob Naismith gem!








I could see this guy as the focal point of a scenario, or an objective of some kind, or as great NPC in an RPG game.

Blasters & Bulkheads 2nd ed. Cover

Ace artist Rich Yanizeski just delivered his amazing cover for Blasters & Bulkheads 2nd ed. and I could not resist showing it off here!  Check it out!


You might recognize Rich's dynamic style from art pieces in the SuperSystem and Chaos books, but I think you'll find his color work to be every bit as amazing. I know I do!

B&B 2nd should be on track for a mid to late March release via PDF and in print through Lulu.  I may do a small print run myself, but this is up in the air right now. We'll see!

Octopod Addition Makes Three

Now I've got a trio of Octopods to work with!  I've decided to just work in a number of different color garments for the various Octopods I'm painting--I just didn't see them as uniform.

Next up, more Defence Force troopers!

Second Octopod Alien Done!

Got a second one done, and as I finish him, a very interesting scenario is coming to mind for Blasters & Bulkheads.  More on that when I have something written down! No onto the pics!

GZG Hard Suited Troops For Sale

I don't normally sell stuff via this blog, but since it is a small group of 15mm Sci-Fi troops, I thought I'd post them up here for anyone interested.

The lot contains 16 Hard Suit troopers from one of GZG's older lines. Well painted and based, and yours for $20 + shipping! 





Let me know if interested!

And thanks for visiting!

Khurasan Defence Force Troopers

I've been looking for a group of sci-fi troopers to act as Imperial Guard types for an Inquisitorial Interdiction squad. I think I have found them in Khurasan's Defence Force Troopers. Last night I did my first test paint scheme using one of my favorite colors--Medium Sea Blue from Vallejo.

Check them out!









I'll polish off a squad of these guys before too long!

RAFM Space Adventurer

I love 15mm figures with plenty of cool kit, and this gem from the old RAFM line has it in spades!








I could definitely see using this guy as my RPG character in any sci-fi game! He's geared up and ready to rock!

Here's a comp shot:




As always, thanks for visiting!

15mm.co.uk Octopod Seer Guard

I picked up the Octopod Seer Guard, a pack of tentacle-faced alien via Noble Knight last week.  The sculpts are pretty solid ones from 15mm.co.uk.








I got one painted so far and I quite like how he looks and scales with the other stuff I've been working on of late. It will be cool to get a small unit of 3 - 5 of these guys done.  They'll make a great alien cult, or an exotic bodyguard for some important alien diplomat.

Thanks for visiting!
