Khurasan releases xenobiologist Camilla Bathurst

[Khurasan Miniatures]

We're pleased to release our latest 15mm character model, the Federal xenobiologist Camilla Bathurst.  The xenobiologist was sculpted by Tom Meier to his usual exacting standards.



Camilla specialises in study of the Sepulvedan Sponk, a powerful and cunning ambush predator living in trapdoor tunnels in the Selulvedan outback.



Whilst exploring Sponk holes, she often runs into artifacts, some thousands of years old, a few from the mysterious culture that once existed on Sepulveda 7.  Luckily she is an accredited archaeologist as well!

Arriving on Sepulveda 7, Camilla is studying the Sponk in the wastelands when the control battalions, transhuman minions of the flamboyantly diabolical Jelina Jo-Li, attempt to take her into custody.  Mistake!  Camilla escapes and finds her way to the Resistance, becoming a mother figure of sorts to the pint-sized killing machine Teacup Tornado. (Tom also sculpted our 15mm models of Jelina and Teacup Tornado.)

Tom has done a stunning job sculpting this model, and we were exceptionally fortunate to have Marike Reimer of Destroyer Miniatures agree to paint her up.  This paintup is just one more indication that Marike is in the top tier of the world's miniatures painters.

Available now as code TTC-1419 at the link below.  Happy gaming!

It's about 25mm tall to the top of its shell.  :^)

There is a good article in WS&S this month about scales.  It basically says what I've always assumed was the norm - play a scale appropriate for your game.

If my game needs armies, I'd be interested in 15mm.  As it stands now I play only skirmish games, so when I have 4-10 figures per side, I vastly prefer 28mm.  If I was doing a battle involving about a company's worth of men, I'd want 15's or 20's.

I think it's about more than just size of force -- it's also about how much table space you have and other factors. Like for instance spacejacker at Tiny Solitary Soldiers prefers 15mm, and I get the sense that's partly because he can make an extremely small yet highly detailed game board on which to have his solo games. You can also make lots of them and still have enough room to store them away.

And there's an additional element for me -- I just like the way 15s scale out when you're looking at the table. Even in a skirmish/firefight to me the size and distances involved with 15s looks better.

It's really just a matter of personal preference -- whatever feels right for you.  It's helpful in this regard to explore at gaming conventions because you're often pleasantly surprised by how gaming looks and feels in a scale you might have been assuming you don't care for.
