Hiya,
I’ve been posting odd things here but realised I’ve left out my 15mm sci-fi – probably the thing I work on the most, so this post’ll be a bit of an image dump of a few recent bits – if you want more then slap “15mm Sci-Fi” as a tag into my blog and there’ll be more.
These are a bit older – general disgruntleds. I had a phase experimenting with army painter dip – not a grans success (I prefer more contrast on 15s) but my palette choice made these work out OK i think.
These are either a Rogue Trader style group or Star Police/Tax Collectors depending on the scenarios I’m playing.
I painted these up without a real concept, just wanted to use that green colour (Vallejo Park Green) but they work for troopers in simple skirmishes.
I’ve also been repainting the Battlefield in a Box ‘Badlands’ range, just finished a pile yesterday, so my desert board is starting to look A-OK
I reckon some Crom’s Anvil buildings (with removable sci-fi accessories) might slot in there nicely too…..
Anyway, that’s all for now – I’m painting mostly for the Lead Painters’ League over on Lead Adventure at the moment, so i’ll have more to add here as future rounds close.
Cheers!
Yeah, here they are with my latest unit stood near the doors
Sorry Ali, didn’t see your reply – thanks very much.
Here’s my latest group – loosely based on Tin Tin. I’m not 100% that I pulled the Tin Tin similarity off, but I’m chuffed with them as Minis – my overall 15mm project is just to paint loads of characters and individuals so that whatever game I want to play I’ll have the protagonists and NPCs. I’m slowly starting to feel like I’m getting there!
Thanks both
Got a couple of weeks worth of entries to add today
My 15mm sci fi is slowly getting to the point I want it – a chast of characters that I can draw on to play out some adventures. Civvies, slaves and slave traders next!
‘iya,
Haven’t put my last entry up
Some REALLY excellent sculpts from Slap minis’ kickstarter – I heat tell they’re up for retail soon. Fantastic sculpts, some of the best 15s I’ve painted.
Thanks – I’ve barely painted any in the past few weeks (got a move at the end of the month so I’m rushing to get certain things to the ‘varnished’ stage – 6mm and terrain mostly – before needing to pack up), which has boshed my momentum a bit. Finished this guy recently though (scuse the photos, lightbox is packed away). I’m really pleased with the conversion
Cool!
He has the look of an ethically dubious space trader.Simple head-swaps can make a world of difference to 15s. Great work!

They look so much better when as well painted as this!
Hello folks,
Few recent bits – some very new, some I forgot to add here. ‘Scuse my recent photos – something about my set up just isn’t working anymore, no idea why.
First up, the oldies: a bounty hunter, a mendicant (‘converted’ from an ancients mini with his paintjob) and a giant hulking bodyguard.
Here he is next to another mini for scale (look at the size of that gun too!) – I suspect he’ll only come out in more heavily armed adventures.
Now for some new bits – a space shepherd (another tweaked ancient mini) and his flock
and the first Crom’s Anvil mini I’ve managed to finish, ironically converted for sci-fi
Not sure what he’ll be but I’m sure he’ll be useful!
“no hardship to imagine a raised floor inside (to my mind anyway)”
Exactly what I was thinking: I figure with the domed roofs (and the awkwardness that entails), all of the conduits and aircon and so forth goes in an under floor area.
I’ve just bought an airbrush (only the second outing, the last being… er.. 40 years ago) so I plan to try it out on these. I want to do a moon themed layout of some sort with lots of the GZG Moon Grunt stuff as well. And maybe with the odd:
Thown in for good measure…

http://www.hammers-slammers.com@John-treadaway Ah lovely yeah – I’d really like to do a moon surface set up too, there’s some great stuff in the Moongrunt range. I did start the project donkeys ago and knocked these up (GZG UNSC light armour with added Monngrunt backpacks) but didn’t really go any further than that;
I intended for a slightly less ‘near-future’ vibe than the Moongrunt setting, but these guys were intended to be a special forces type group, so top of the pile in terms of tech. Hmmmm, maybe I should give this a kick up the backside…
@shelldrake – thanks, I’d like to be a bit more productive so I could blog more, but I’m not!I’ve got some GZG Brethren of the New Light on the desk at the moment – a couple of squads worth (I fancied doing some more military-esque minis for a change)
(Purple’s done, few more layers of highlihgts for the grey though)
but alongside those I’m sculpting some alien trees/succulents – This is go 2 at this, last time I used clump foliage and i didn’t like the result so I’m taking inspiration from the old Snapdragon 6mm terrain and sculpting the foliage instead. I’m pleased so far – LOADS of work to do though! Every trunk will have a ‘crown’ plus the odd clump along the upper trunks, and ground bushes too. This one’s about 30% done:
Then there’s these 4
Hey AB @angel-barracks – reckon these would be castable?
