Post by: Skullhamma on July 02, 2019, 02:40:25 PM: Looks guard enough to me.

Post by: Ockman on July 03, 2019, 05:16:50 AM: Great job, I really enjoy this set!

May I ask what you'll use as sentinel and Leman Russ? Clear Horizon has a sweet sentinel and Proxie models have a very 'Russ-y' tank, that is affordable.
Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: Skullhamma on July 03, 2019, 11:31:27 AM: Hey, Ock!

I am thinking of the Novan Regular MBT for the Leman Russ and a DIMOG Walker from Khurasan for the Sentinels.

Hey, Ock!

I am thinking of the Novan Regular MBT for the Leman Russ and a DIMOG Walker from Khurasan for the Sentinels.

The Novan tank was spot on, hadn't seen it before. I'm not a fan of the DIMOG Walker, though - at least not in the role as a sentinel.

Have you seen this?

Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: Skullhamma on July 03, 2019, 12:58:55 PM: Yes, the Clear Horizon walker is perfect for that role, I know. I simply haven't found out yet, if it can be purchased at the moment. Seems they sent stuff to their backers first and wait for a re-stock.
Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: Jagannath on July 03, 2019, 01:12:13 PM: Yes! Lovely stuff - I’m increasingly moving to trying more and more to capture a ‘Rogue Trader’ vibe in my 15mm too. You’ve done a great job here. I really like GZGs NSL range - the fact that there’s two troop types with consistent weapons is a real plus.

Have you shown off your genestealer cult on LAF yet?

The pic on his site is bad, but here are some better shots of mine. I chose not to add the side sponsons, but they are included in the kit.

Here's my Genestealer Cult I started some time ago. Will have to add some more cultists and weapon teams, but besides from that, it's done.

I could be interested.
40k in 15mm has me thinking of doing this mass armies I wouldnt do in 28mm. Genestealers, Guard and Orks.
A new Facebook group has started up for those interested. 40k in 15mm is the name. Seen Skullhamma's lovelies over there.

That's right. It is that Kremlin guy. I hesitated for the same reason, but in the end I decided that I need him. I have payed more silly prices for lots of 28mm collector's items... sigh.

Thanks to all of you! :)

I don’t want to deter this thread as it belongs to Skullhamma, but my Genestealer Cult shows the familiars I have. See this thread with pictures of my 15mm Space Ork and Genestealer armies.

Is it mainly time and money that makes you go for 15mm? I think it even has an artistic merit in its own right. :)

I can't speak for Skully, but to me, 15mm offers something different than 28mm and 6mm, and it isn't about money or time. It's something about the community and the wide selection of minis available, the feeling that anything is possible...
Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: zrunelord on July 14, 2019, 12:42:52 PM: Dr. 15/18 mm are much more detailed today & there are loads of ranges . Painting them to a good standards takes much less time than 28/32mm. Obviously they're cheaper & take much less space.
Unfortunately most of them are metal with some in resin, no plastics. Vehicles are mostly resin but 1/76 - 1/72nd plastic kits can be easily used for 15/18mm.

Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: Grumbledook on July 14, 2019, 08:35:57 PM: Utterly brilliant thread, now I have to dig out my 15mm stash!

The Genestealer cult are a thing of envy.

Great variety of ranges and painting, particularly using the epic greater demon with your Chaos chaps (a model I fondly remember fielding with the hilarious Lord of Battle), those nox figures are perfect for the job and I've a couple of sets for a similar job myself.

Appropriately inspirational for the impending summer holidays!
Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: DivisMal on July 15, 2019, 07:58:26 PM: Well for me 15/18mm is a very friendly community. The models do paint up much better and faster than modern 32-35mm minis, but imho the greatest advantage is the space needed, which is so much less than for larger figures, and terrain. You can make terrain much easier and cheaper and it looks way better in scale.
Check most buildings for larger models. They are strangely shrinked to fit on the tabletop. Hurches with the size of a portaloo, trees that are thinner than the thighs of warriors etc.

Combine that with an awesome ever increasing range of models and you have a feeling like in the early days of 25/28mm wargaming, like Rogue Trader, for instance!
Title: Re: My Grim Dark Future in 15mm
Post by: zrunelord on July 16, 2019, 09:10:39 AM: Not to jump the thread.....
I forgot to add & to continue with Divismal, if your into scratchbuilding, doing vehicles in 15/18 is relatively easy, especially since they're smaller.

And they have a mobile artillery (no pic on the site) http://www.proxiemodels.com/product/mobile-artillery/ (http://www.proxiemodels.com/product/mobile-artillery/)

Found this online. Might be close to what they are producing, though they seem to change the models periodically:

I haven't got any Vanguard minis yet as I think they're true 15mm , i.e.smallish.... when compared to the 18mm Gzg ones, right ?

Size-wise they are fine. It's the proportions... heads and hands are too small when compared to GZG, for example.

Great work mate,
Who'd have thought to use a desteria knight as an SM commander. 👍👍👍👍.

I plan to use khurasan's post apoc government forces as termies & marines & also Nuclear shrimp ones.That way i will have 2 distinct types of armour .

No big deal, really... I cut everything out of styrofoam and and use a ball of tinfoil that I roll over here and there to get the structure effect on the walls. Then I paint in dark grey, drybush with grey, wash with black and afterwards a final and moderate drybrush with light grey. Hope that helps.

To all: Thank you very much! :)

As for your question about whether you can post non-15mm in your blog? Yes. I believe you can. I think it would be odd to think any of us are stuck in 15mm or 28/32mm, 6mm, 10mm, 20mm.... uh, who am I missing? We are all pretty scattered in our interests, and sometimes we get sidetracked by tiny fleets. It happens. No support group for it beyond places like this lol

Get some water washable Resin from Elegoo as well. I use ceramic grey.

Post by: Brummie on June 08, 2021, 08:06:23 PM: Those Scions are awesome!

Very tempted to do the Burning of Prospero in 15mm now as I just take forever to paint 28mm. I've already been doing Epic for Horus Heresy and that has involved a lot of 3D prints and the quality can be jaw droppingly good.

3D printing is certainly revolutionary, once you start off down that road you won't turn back, so much is possible for wargaming that was the stuff of dreams beforehand.

Post by: CookAndrewB on June 14, 2021, 03:18:33 PM: I wonder why GW never went to this scale. If they did, I wasn't aware of it. For the size of the battles, and including vehicles, this scale is much better suited. Granted, there wouldn't be quite so much of a cash grab at this scale, but I wouldn't think of it as an either-or prospect. Rather, I would think that you would get even bigger armies, and perhaps whole chapters of marines or whole guard forces. I cant help thinking there was a real missed opportunity there.

Gotta stop doing this man I don't need the temptation to do 40k in 15mm lol

And apparently GW did do a series of figures in 15mm years ago as a part of a test project but they've never seen the light of day. They still exist though apparently, locked away with all sorts of test models that have been kept back for records sake.

The Novan tank was spot on, hadn't seen it before. I'm not a fan of the DIMOG Walker, though - at least not in the role as a sentinel.

Have you seen this?

Rebel makes some biped walkers. Not quite right but they are cheap and plastic-ish so easy to mod into more of a long gun on the side configuration.

Proxie models makes a plastic 15mm Leman Russ stand-in, also. He calls it the Trencher. I like the design better than Vanguard's tank, but YMMV.

http://www.proxiemodels.com/product/trencher/

The pic on his site is bad, but here are some better shots of mine. I chose not to add the side sponsons, but they are included in the kit.

It's worth adding that his selection of bases is very helpful for anyone trying to avoid paying absurdist GW prices for the oddball sizes and shapes their games have embraced. He's also got flight bases, which have started to get kind of hard to find since whoever was making the old hex stand type burned the mold out.

Post by: CookAndrewB on July 19, 2021, 01:58:56 PM: Skully,

What kind of modifications are you making on your marines? Weapon swaps, head swaps... pose changes?

I've started designing my own 3d files for my 15mm sci-fi and have found it to be both awesome and somewhat limited depending on what I'm attempting to do. Remixing a pre-made file is nice, but I'm finding that putting in the work to learn scratch building is really paying off dividends.

Fdm is good for vehicles also but I think it is more
Technical... i.e. you need to learn to fix things as it is more
Mechanical. There is a learning curve in order to get the best of it as everything in life but It can be done with perseverance.

Makes sense to me. I always have better results from group shots than I do with single figs. Some of it is from image cropping, some of it the way the auto-focus works, but mostly I think it's just distracting from my own flawed painting by simultaneously throwing too many mistakes at the viewer to process them all. :)

I doubt it would have stopped people from spending, the armies would have just been grander. As you said, it would have had the epic feel that gets missed at 28mm/32mm scale. Whatever they are aiming for.
