Title: Khurasan releases 15mm Federal Army Experimental Battalion
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on July 28, 2017, 05:12:34 PM: We are very pleased to release our latest 15mm Sci fi miniatures, the Federal Army Experimental Battalion (ExBat). These are very high tech forces experimentally deployed at battalion level, very advanced grav vehicles and infantry "drone" (actually robotic) infantry. Limited numbers of super-elite special forces termed "Treaty Troops" also operate with the ExBats. There's a complete background write-up for these forces on the web page as well.

Available now:

I thought they were upright vacuum cleaners ^__^

Are they really 15mm?

Post by: Ahistorian on July 28, 2017, 07:06:28 PM: My Khurusan sci-fi stuff is all noticeably 18mm, but beautifully proportioned so they don't look too out of place against most other manufacturers' figures.

EDIT: Now the pictures have deigned to load on my laptop, I particularly like the Treaty Troops. I'll be getting some of those a couple of projects from now!

They are the way the Buccaneer robots deploy out of a grav APC that is travelling at several hundred kph. Occasionally some of them remain on their grav pods, to scout or for patrol purposes, so we have made them available for people who'd like to game with them.

So using an antigrav version for same purpose in a (hard) scifi setting makes sense for me ;)
