Title: 15mm Mid-Tech Space Marines
Post by: Golan2072 on 15 October 2010, 10:04:06 AM: About two weeks ago I've finished painting a whole platoon of 15mm Rebel Minis Earthforce Marines which have been sitting in my mini-box for a whole year. They'll be great for a large number of sci-fi scenarios:

Post by: Golan2072 on 15 October 2010, 04:30:17 PM: Thy are based on 10 Agurot coins (Israeli money - 100 Agurut = 1 New Israeli Shekkel), each worth about 2.5 US Cents. On them I've glued some gravel (actually cat litter) for a better texture, primed the whole thing, and painted the bases in a reddish-brown, Mars-y rock color.
