My Grim Dark Future in 15mm

[DivisMal]

I'd be interested in knowing what genestealer familiars you have but are not needing

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.

Maybe I'll give him a ring. Thanks!

Let there be chaos.

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. 
 
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!

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.

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!

[zrunelord]

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/

Terrible picture:


And they have a mobile artillery (no pic on the site)  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:


Seems pretty suitable for 15mm grim dark adventures.
