New post on the blog showcasing the "White Knights" - a platoon of grav-mobile space marines from GZG and Brigade for Stargrunt.  Usual commentary and photos at the link:

Sweet - love those Brigade tanks, nice and compact. Lovely job on the infantry too - must admit I didn't enjoy painting the batch ORC i did a while ago, that type of armour doesn't really suit my painting style.

Brilliant!

They look stunning.  Especially because it's 15mm

Interestingly, Brigade just released several variants on that vehicle hull and its Thor MBT stablemate, but for some weird reason they stuck them in the Hammer's Slammers section of the catalog without mentioning the older ones in general 15mm German scifi.  Very strange choice, since they're all very compatible and you'd think they'd want more crossover sales potential.

That new APC is very nice - I do find that division between Hammer's Slammers (in two scales) and the 'generic' ranges on the site a bit confusing sometimes, but I guess there's some sort of licensing thing going on that requires it.

Very nice collection indeed.  Very hard sci-fi.  Look like something that would actually exist in 200 years or so.

Thanks!  Working on a few more platoons of them right now.  Not set in stone on the color scheme yet.  Might stay with the stormtrooper look, might mix it up a bit more.

Wonderful.  They have a very "Traveller" look to them.

Yeah, especially if you went with a less Star Wars-ish color scheme.  One of my favorite ranges from GZG.
