Lovely figures :)  Perhaps you might venture in 28mm? :wink:

Thought Projector? Is that for ordering pizza and stuff like that?  :)

They look good. Not for me due to the size, I'm afraid. Have we many 15mm Lead Adventurers? We never see much finished stuff posted here of that size. I wonder why that is? I remember those alien armies with Gort-style robots but that's about all that springs to mind.

I dabble in 15/18mm but it's not the easiest scale for VSF due to the lack of manufacturers. Much shopping around, artistic licence and conversion is required. Luckily Black Hat have a growing range and Regiment Games in the U.S have some goodies. I suppose one advantage is decent sized games on a relatively small table.

I'm concentrating on 28mm at the mo but I've just purchased some 18mm figs and models for my next project which will be scenarios based on The War of the Worlds, I think 15/18mm will be the right way to go for these large games (even better Black Hat are about to release 18mm  Brits in Home Service uniform).

I posted some pics of my 15mm efforts recently. here's the thread:

As I've said before, if anything will ever pull me into 15/18mm (to which I'm a complete stranger), it'll be Martian Empires. Still resisting it successully though.

I have a fairly sizeable collection of Martian Empire figures, and many more still to buy. Come on Rhoderic, you know you want them. Resistance is futile :lol:
