Great stuff  :)

Is the table to be Earth based or somewhere else?

cheers

Looking absolutely awesome Nic-e!!! Definitely looking forward to seeing your brushwork on the Proteus.

As for the rulesets you mentioned, Gruntz is always brought up to be an entertaining game so I'd suggest giving it a once over.

I recently made a bit of a display board for Salute with a piece of our MTU concept art in mind if it's any inspiration for your future game board:



Below photos of the board and my minis shamelessly stole from GMorts Chaotica blog. All the bits on there are from us at WDM








So aye, keep it up Nic-e! Can't wait to see your expanding 15mm force :)

Cheers for the kind words everyone!

I'm going to start on the talos suits now alongside the proteus.

Great stuff  :)

I'm going to go with a busy industrial space port for small cargo loaders to help send cargo and goods to ships in low orbit.
Planet wise I don't think it'll matter too much!  ;)

Hey overwatch, it was good speaking to you at salute!
(I'm the chap from dark sphere  who ran up during pack up to buy a hab block from your van.)

I plan on stealing the dimensions of your display board to use as a nice 15mm skirmish board I can also fit in the wardrobe.

Managed to get all the painting done on a second fireteam.
I decided that rather than paint all the infantry as members of the same army and end up never using them all at once, I'd paint them as seperate teams and give myself more freedom to run them as separate forces.

This team i have painted up with a more privateer/corporate security/merc squad look in mind.

We had a couple of micro art wall sections kicking around at work that had been damaged in shipping so I took one to paint up as a photography background.The lightbox I'm using is just too harsh for anything smaller than 28mm so hopefully this will serve a little better once i get a daylight bulb.

In non figure news, I have gathered materials for my gaming board. IT's going to be composed of 4 1x1 tiles made from 3 mm plasticard mounted onto cork tiles.This gives me something very thin and lite i can easily store, while still being resilient enough to avoid warping.

Great thread. I've been eyeing up the White Dragon minis stuff for ages. I've got 2 squads from Armies Army completed a while ago and busy now with terrain.

Have you decided on a ruleset? I bought FiveCore skirmish on whim a while back and I really like it. I play solo and it gives short, sharp, fun games. Not sure how it would handle the large mechs though.

I fully recommend buying some, they're the best 15mm sci fi I've seen to date.

I'm going with one page rules double tap for now as it's simple and shoert enough for me and someone else to play in an afternoon and open enough that i can model anything i want without it messing with the mechanics.
