15mm Ion Age - Scifi Gruundar

Hello again all,
15mm Alien Space dwarfs from Load ninja/ Alternative Armies . Can't remember what they were called. .
They're chunky & nice in a fuggly sort of way ( if one can say that !!! )

They could fill the role of Prospectors, Belters , Mercs , Traders ..... I based them on those plastic ( 20mm ?) pop off disks one gets from UK standard electrical boxes. These disks are usually thrown away which is a pity as they make great bases. The downside is that they're not magnetic like coins so I can't hold them with my magnet + cork figure painting holder.

The droids are scratchbuilt.

I'll show the scratchbuilt vehicles soon.

Thanks for your comments.

15mm Micropanzer - Scifi Gitungi

Hello again all,
I got these on a whim & I must say I wasn't disappointed.
I don't often see them used but they are quite nice, having a unique , roundish shape to them.

The smaller ones are based on a 2 € cent & the larger ones on a 5 € cent coin

Before getting them I wasn't sure about their size when compared to other minis but I quickly changed my mind after getting them.

The Red/yellow helmeted ones were converted from an Amakudari heavy squad with green stuff.

Dark brown undercoat, yellow zenithal spray, sand drybrush, yellow overcoat.
Brown ink / Blue black  lining.

I went for an outrageous bright orange basing. This was done by mixing old orange paint ( some of it had dried so I crushed it ) & acrylic gesso used for textured painting , which I had bought in fine, medium & course consistency.

Must design mechs / vehicles for them now.

** Update - 25/04/20
Vehicles started . I wanted something very different from the norm.
More advanced build. It is based on my Mesonai build.
