I think he found the infantry a bit fragile in 6mm, and we have loads of other 10mm stuff so have plenty of terrain in that scale.

But 10mm does seem to be an uncommon scale for Sci Fi

Sure, I mean I have the files and a 3d printer, I can print them at 2:1 if I so desired. But why would you want anything else than 6mm? inconceivable I say.  :D

For some of us that like 15's and don't have a 3D printer, I was just saying you can get them at other places in 15mm on Etsy.
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

Nice 6 mm collection. 

As to 15 mm, you can get A LOT of stuff - I know, I just did, far more than I was originally planning.  Once my 'last' order arrives, I will have 49, yes, 49, distinct units of infantry for my Star Wars collection.  Sure, some of it is 'make work' or 'close enough' but plenty of it is straight up Star Wars.

What I'd most like more of in 15 mm is Star Wars derived aliens but I've managed to put together LOTS of aliens from various sources, a small number of which are Star Wars derived (unless you count units, I have a number of those that are canon). 

Actually, with a replacement order for a missing item that will include a "we're sorry" pack of some additional aliens, I should be able to manage one more unit to push it to 50.  Crazy?  Of course.  It's this hobby! 

And for those who may ask, my rules of choice will be Fistful of Lead: Big Battles.

Awesome work indeed; Epic Star Wars is now officially a thing :D

DZC 12mm I'd argue, being /1144 aka double dollhouses, like gundams and heavy gear figures. That being said I know plenty of people use 10 and 6 intermixed, 12-15 etc. Bases screw up the size of figures so much already that there is more leeway.

Bases screw up a lot, absolutely. The terrain I'm slowly building for DZC will do double duty in both 10- and 15mm. Most are N-scale railroad buildings (lots of Japanese stuff in there), but I've got a few HO-scaled ones which can work just as well with a bit of detail work.

DZC is being marketed as being 10mm btw...

and heavy gear, which is the same scale, has been marketed as 12mm for 20 years. Goes to show, none of us know what we are doing anyway  lol

With all these painted pictures getting posted I cant stay behind, so here are my first paint tests. I have a LOT more on the painting desk, but that will have to wait. I'm unsure how to base them. I am considering something rassy for the droids as it will contrast with all their brown tones, I might go the same for the clones. I have some great crackling red earth that I'll use if I ever get round to geonosians though.  lol

I'm still slowly hammering away at this as well, I've made some files for 6mm midget spider droids, they've come out really nice I think!

The Force is strong with this one. So much eye candy here. Great idea to use the Epic Armageddon rules. They are much underrated!

I might check some of those in 15mm…;)

Cheers!

And all of that should stand up to 15mm I'd say!
