Title: Looking for 15mm weird wars
Post by: aktr on September 30, 2020, 08:47:08 AM
Hi,

Anyone know where I can get some 15mm weird war stuff from? I know clockwork goblin used to do stuff but now they are just doing 28mm for K-47.
I'm thinking of adding some weird to my Flames of war armies.


Either real world prototypes or mechs and jetpacks

Cheers

Gear Krieg (https://www.nobleknight.com/Products/Gear-Krieg-Miniatures) might be good, also Heer46 (https://www.heer46shop.de/29010212020/heer46-1100-seite-1) or Alternative armies Ion Age (https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-ion-age-miniature-range) or Hordes of Future (https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-hof-science-fiction-range) (it's sci-fi, but might be good for Weird war as well).

Well, there is always Ground Zero Games, also SF

As Ultravillainsmurf posted I have used GZG to represent Konflikt ‘47 power armoured troops as I only have drib and drabs of original Clockwork Goblin stuff. There does seem to be a lull in 28mm K47 and I continually have my fingers crossed that Warlord will drop the licence and Clockwork Goblin will start producing them in the original (and much nicer in my opinion) scale. Also there are always 6mm things that you can convert - large 6mm walker becomes an infantry support walker etc.

Good luck,
BALM

My Time travelling Space-Nazis.
From a variety of places.  A couple of Clockwork Goblin which I was lucky to get and some Eureka Space Nazis. The bell I built from a Styrofoam Xmas bell covered in superglue and paper..
Die Glocke in 15mm
The idea is as every time traveler declares they are going to kill Hitler, the Nazis, being evil but not entirely stupid notice people showing up and trying to kill an Austrian painter and driving him mad.
They set up a protection squad and themselves travel back  and forth to foil attempts.
Depending on the outcome of a game, it will change the "Future" of the protagonists.(returning to the present and it's a utopia or a dystopia, depending if the Nazis control the future/present or not).
And if that isn't enough for the Tomorrow People to contend with, then there are the Neo-Sovs. Reports they are building some sort of "Time Tunnel"
What I have been working on instead of doing my 1845 Sikhs.

That is... very clever. I like that a lot.

My thoughts were
First game is an Allied attack on German Lines. A normal WWI trench raid.
Then the Tomorrow people show up  and try to kill a German Corporal.
Second game exactly the same setup and start, Tomorrow people showing up and then a couple of turns latter the Zeitschutz show in in Die Glocke.
If they win that sets up the third game in which.
The Third game.
Tomorrow people jump back to their time. Then a turn later they show back up, fully restored. (They returned to their time, and for 6 months repaired, rested, reviewed what happened, retrained and returned to a couple minutes after they left the past).

Had a battle of K47 in 15mm a while back using 15mm WWWII figs and FOW units.


Other games include
The Zeitschutz also jumping into the Ukraine and Poland in an attempt to hit a young  Stalin when he commanded the Conarmie during the Russian Civil War and the Russo-Polish war.
Maybe have Neo-Sovs show up as they have built their own "Time Tunnel"

I need to build a Schloss for the Zeitschutz base of operations.

A while ago we had a game of K47 in 15mm, using FOW units with some zombies and Werewolves from Rebel Minis, a couple of Walkers and zombies I was lucky to get from Clockwork Goblins a while back and a All Quiet on the Martian Front spider walkers.
I think the Sherman Tesla turret is a 3D print.
I have found turrets for a Telsa Cromwell and Soviet groundshaker T34 turret on Thingiverse.

I found this line of 1:72 scale Weird War 2 vehicles, most are of a german design. I suppose you could paint them up in whatever nation colors you want, but you could also kitbash them with other 1:72 WWII models.

I would include Heavy Gear Blitz as well.

I have a couple of the Southern Miniatures - Sagittarius Striders (https://store.dp9.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_80&product_id=151)

(https://store.dp9.com/image/cache/data/dp9-hgb-south/dp9-9055-240x240.jpg)

It could be easily kitbased into what-ever your want.

They also have an "extras" section where you can buy different weapons including turrets and stuff that could be handy.
