I was wondering how feasible it was to playi Whiteout at a smaller scale (and possibly using Sarissa tiles).

I've literally no idea about 15mm.
I played the game in 28mm using just a white sheet and a couple of bits of white felt.Rather than the tile system. Just cut all the 'tile' areas down to 8"×8"  and use a piece of 'L' shaped card to change direction and mark out the limits of the next 'tile'.The only reason for the tile size was the limits of my table top and the largest piece of scenery I intended on using.

Khurasan Miniatures has the arctic travelers and the critters you’re looking for.

And I think GZG Minis also has some Scandinavian troops in parkas that could work for a more near future setting.

Thanks..

The Khurasan figures do not seem to be current and the GZG photograph is challenging ^__^.

The issue is table size, The Walking Dead All Out War is about the max board size ^__^.

Hi UVS

the Khurasan Minis are in their Planet 15 range under the Terror at the Bottom of the World section.

Khurasan, yes.  And QRF Miniatures, in the Quartermaster range you can find some critters:

Not quite so good on the quality front but also check out Mick Yarrow Miniatures.

Hope that helps.  Have to go back and review the Khurasan offerings since I've stocked up on the QRF animals.  edit: Alas, the Khurasan humans are too modern for my use.

Preiser HO scale critters will work fine for 15mm.  A little pricey of course, but they have very nice polar bears and penguins.
