Now those came out quite nice. Lovely orange. Quite striking with darker colour. Pac fed?
Incidentally or intentionally the same shade as the
Battery ( official sponsor ? ) ;)

Thanks (and yes, they're PacFed Armoured Infantry). I find orange easier to start with using a speedpaint as the base colour. Gives it a little more vibrancy.
Duracell comparison a happy accident - though it may be worth getting some shares if they are going to be governing the galaxy!

The travel boards are amazing.  Great creativity

Cheers - the prospect of an all-in-one case was one of the main prompts to trying out 6mm.
And it's endured two tea spills already. So far so good.

Cheers!



Needed some androids to stand in as both military and industrial bots, so I painted up some Vanguard Miniatures civilians. Originally went for metallic all over but they looked as dull as when I tried the same with 15mm, so I repainted them to have more of an I, Robot vibe.

I generally find it easier to imagine weapons onto a mini than to imagine them away.

Doodler,
Here is a link to Microworld games just in case you didn't have it. A lot of nice 6mm for you.
https://www.microworldgames.com/

There are some figures I want to get such as the Space Rat Infantry, I would thing four to a base for 15mm would make for one 15mm figure gaming wise. Do you think those little weapons alone could hurt anyone of course I could be wrong like in The Men in Black "Noisy Cricket."


Plus, I think some of their other stuff would work in 15mm as well like their Fantasy Zombies as ankle biters moving around at a school or on a bus that someone had just opened.

They came out quite nice , Doodler . Good Job.

WM, thanks for the link.
Those space rats would be great for pesky swarms ( sort of like imps in fantasy ). Pity some of them are out of stock.
Microworld have some great minis like the Troll wrecking crew & Spogres, which would be great for gangs etc, or as you say ankle biters :)
Seems like some of them have been sculpted by Martin Baker ( who made a lot of GZG stuff ), ( for me , another reason to get them as I like his work ).

Thanks, folks.

I've had my eye on Microworld Games (especially their wasteland line) for a while, but alas the cost of shipping across the Atlantic means they can't be one of my whimsical dabbles - will have to wait until I can make a big enough order for it to be worthwhile.
