Very nice work! I agree they do look very "Guard" enough! Good job!
-
Brilliant painting! I love the little details like the standard bearer. Very nice.
-
I like them a lot!!
But due to ;lack os skullery they ae not that grimdark in this scale :P
-
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.
-
Hey, Ock!
I am thinking of the Novan Regular MBT for the Leman Russ and a DIMOG Walker from Khurasan for the Sentinels.
-
Very Guard, and very nicely painted: they really pop.

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?

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.
-
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?

Ah, I missed that!

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.

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.

Thanks a lot, Rory! No, I haven't shown them yet, will do in the days to come. :)

Great stuff here, Skul. Lovely work in 15mm, as always.

Well, they certainly look like Guard to me too.
Nice work.

Thanks a lot for the great feedback, guys!
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.

The 28mm Genestealer as a 15mm Patriarch is a brilliant idea.
-
That's an amazing force, love what you have done!
-
Easily my absolute favourite 15mm project I’ve ever seen - model selection is genius and the painting’s beautiful. Really glad you’ve posted these! I’ve already bought the familiars on eBay to rip this off! Haha
-
Gorgeous my friend.
Who was the guy with pistol and micro?

Thanks a lot, Rory! No, I haven't shown them yet, will do in the days to come. :)
Yes, well done! It’s excellent and truly inspiring!
-
If someone still needs 15mm Genestealers (a.k.a. Familiars) or Patriarchs, I still habe some and would sell.

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.

These are brilliant! The figures are really fitting, and you've done great work painting them. Makes it a tempting project to think about!

I'm pretty certain he's from MYMiniatures. or Mick Yarrow Miniatures. The old Kremlin sci-fi range.

Yes you're right, thanks. But I won't pay 5 GBP in P&P for a single 15mm miniature...

Pretty sure you have to email Mick Yarrow anyway, wasn’t that much when I ordered a few bits.

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.

Those look great! Love the use of Epic miniatures!

Great stuff Skully...😉
Keep it up

Another fantastic entry! I keep meaning to get some of the nox - ‘chaos’ is underserved in 15mm. You’re paintjob is ace here - when I was a kid and 2nd edition 40k was kicking off I loved anything Khorne, and it still tugs at my heart strings!
Have you seen that Onslaught make some not-Bloodletters in 15mm?
-
Man, this is amazing. I am totally digging it.
Everything looks so cute in 15 mm. An adorable little gene stealer cult. lol
Is it mainly time and money that makes you go for 15mm? I think it even has an artistic merit in its own right. :)
-
Oh man, you're not making self-control any easier!
-
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...
-
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.
Z
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.

In case anyone is interested, I just caught wind that Proxie Models has 15mm tanks on the cheap. Very not-WH40k...
A Trencher (not Leman Russ) http://www.proxiemodels.com/product/trencher/ (http://www.proxiemodels.com/product/trencher/)
Terrible picture:
(http://www.proxiemodels.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/trencher2.jpg)
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:
(http://i.imgur.com/HdPREl.jpg)
Seems pretty suitable for 15mm grim dark adventures.
-
Those Genestealers are fantastic, the Purple really stands out (reminds me of the bold colours used in the 90s!)
Lovely stuff, I'd never have figured to use these figures in this way but they fit incredibly well!
-
Thanks to all of you, guys! :)
Here's some not Imperial Fists or Lamenters, whatever. They certainly look like good old beaky Space Marines. Figures and Dread from The Ion Age / Alternative Armies. The not Rhino is from Rebel Minis.

Who makes the "not dreadnought?" Looks a little like a Bearcat from the HOF line, but maybe an older version?

I decided to take a DIMOG walker by Khurasan for my sentinels, though I ordered a mech from Clear Horizon as well. Maybe they will be swapped one day, but for now I'm happy.

Those Lamenters are beautiful. I'd never dare doing that paint scheme in 28mm or 15mm, the chequered bits are just so complicated for me!
Good to see the IG getting more support! They don't last without it!

I really like the ion age range !
-
We're building up a nice 15mm sci fi group 👍👍👍
Hey Skully the IG are he newer GZG Nsl light infantry but where did you get the psykers ( I assume that's what they represent, i.e. the ones with the staff + icon)
Keep it up 🖖

Vanguard Miniatures Novan Winter Characters with GZG head swaps. :)

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.

Nice collection, very nicely painted, working on 4 15mm blood angels land speeders at the moment.

Love the white on those droids, the shading is superb and the little flick of red on their heads really brings them out.

Hey Andrew! It's an Ion Age Knight Desteria with a GZG head. :)
-
Really nice work you have done there, plus a great job with the head swap with the knight too!
-
I haven't wrapped my head around conversions at this scale yet. 28mm figures are better suited to head/weapon swaps, at least for my fat fingers. I will definitely need to give this a shot. That guy turned out about as perfectly "not" space marine as you can get!
-
And the 15mm crowd shouted " Skully, skully,skully :D :D :D" etc. .
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 .
Keep it up
We have a super 15mm scifi vibe going on.🖖

Forgot to add ..
And the desteria as Sob termies + their female marine & levy counterparts..

I love that concrete texture! I would give away (someone else’s) arm and leg to know how to get that effect. :)
Dan
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! :)

Those look great!
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
-
Thanks, Andrew. I know it's a little bit stupid to think like this, but I was kind of proud of that 15mm niche... (being proud of something is stupid most of the time). I allready decided to open my blog for all other projects I've been working on the last years. :)

Oh those are some evil bug eyez. Love your bright colors. Very RTish!

No reason it can't stay the focus, while showing some other aspects of your own hobby efforts. Or... 6mmthroughspaceandtime, and 28mmthroughspaceandtime, and... lol
-
Love the purple! You're paint jobs are excellent you clearly spend a lot of time just on a handful of figures!
And with regards to your blog, go crazy! I love 15mm sci fi and its definitely my major "thing", but I've got 6mm and 28mm sci fi, 6mm, 20mm and 28mm moderns, some 28mm fantasy, 15mm historics... List goes on.

Brilliant! I also used those old epic knights as dreadoughts...only downside is their price at ebay.

Nice work my friend,
Using epic knights for 15mm is a good idea.
They would be great to use as robots also.
Must take out my ancient epic collection..... now where did I put them ?? ;)
All the best for the new year

Good repurposing of the old 6mm stuff. If you've got any of the Epic snail-crawler "vehicles" left I'd think the Dactylis would make fine 15mm Biovore variants and Exocrines would be nice generic bio-cannon platforms - maybe pseudo-Pyrovores?
-
Those printed up quite well. How many do you print at a time?

I can easily do 20+ in one print. Takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. :)

Gorgeous work on those tiny tyranids!

Yes, Andrew. It has become quite an addiction. ;)

I think I've decided to bite the bullet and get a resin printer for father's day. What kind of printer do you have, and do you like it?
-
I have an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro and I paid 250 Euros. I can't imagine anymore how I have lived without this machine. It is awesome.
Get some water washable Resin from Elegoo as well. I use ceramic grey.
-
Thanks, Skully. I've looked at that one. Everyone seems to say the water washable resin is the way to go. So I have that much down!
-
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.

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.
-
Them shifty dark angels are slick :-*
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?

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.
-
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.
-
Hey Andrew! It's really just kitbashing things. Imagine tinkering with an unlimited bitz box. I'm just swapping arms and heads, consider me a noob!
-
We all start somewhere, and I think it is hard to argue with your success thus far!
By the way, if you ever get into Orks or Eldar, you should check out this designer. This is the free stuff, but more is available for a modest price:

Cool minis, Skully.
I started playing with my resin printer over the weekend and I think it is safe to say that the learning curve to get started is a bit steeper than FDM printers, but the results are also quite a bit nicer!
-
I need to start with FDM printing soon. Too much sweet terrain pieces out there! :-*
Don't worry, Andrew. It will become a natural thing after ten print runs. :D
-
It is a great cult force.
Are your printing the minis yourself?

Amazing project!

Great work as usual Skully, thanks for sharing.
& I need to get into SLA....😏
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.

Excellent minis as ever! Those minis still retain a lot of detail post downscale! :-*

Skullhamma,
based on the high quality of the sculpts I am assuming you are using a resin printer?
Very well done and I am glad the printer has open this avenue for 40K / Necromunda in the "bestest" scale. ;)

What I tried to say (but didn't manage), was that I find Scully's dioramas impressive, since they often showcases entire squads.

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. :)

These are awesome, Micha! :o :o :o

Amazing work, Skully!
Love the sentinel (which might not have been posted here?) and ...well, everything!
-
Fun stuff, Skully. I like those prints better than any of the figures GW has produced since the beaky marines. Are those full-sized figures shrunk down or purpose-designed at that scale? Or, as I often do, 6mm figures scaled up?
-
Awesome prints and painting on those. Great scale for Epic battles.
-
Those Ersatz-Steel Legion are beautiful. You've really packed in some detail for the scale. Thanks for sharing!
-
Wow! Those are great! I think many of us are busy printing as well.

Great stuff 8)

Great thread! Love the minis! :-*
Never did too much GW 40K. Always felt that if they had made them in 15mm, I would have dived right in.
Keep up the great work! :o
-
I've beenfollowing along on the 15mm 4ok group. Great stuff.
I ran a Fistful of Lead Baigger Gattle game at a local convention in March with a massive amount of 15mm Grim Dark troops. Eight players. 50+ units on the table. Everyone that walked by said the same thing: " This is how 40k should have been scaled". It just looks cool.

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.

Thank you all for the great feedback. Highly appreciated and great motivation! :-*

Love them all! Are you working on any entire army or just on the minis you like?
