I can definitely agree with that, the prices drop amazingly rapidly once you move to 40k in 15mm. Plus you can convert the plastic GW 'nids to much bigger 'nids that you might never have afforded. I have GW 'nid warriors that have become carnifexes, hive tyrants and trygons! It's quite good fun doing the conversions as well.
That’s the plan for much of my force.

Hey Gunner,
Good to see your work again. LOve it ...

The speeders came out great as is the monumental conversion work on the nids , one little bugger at a time.

Though personally I prefer my nids as HtH ones without any technology (?) ....

( you might want to look here https://castrarunis.blogspot.com/2016/09/15mm-xeno-monsters.html )

As Hudson said " How can they cut the power they're Animals !!! "  ;)

Keep it up

Cheers mate, it’s been a long time since we talked, your blog is great.

 Hi guys

I have always wanted to do a 15mm Gorgon heavy troop transport, as I get back into my long stalled 15mm 40k project, I’ve decided to pick my Dkok project back up with a couple of heavy troop carriers. Need to paint a few details and start the weathering. The decals on the front ramp are very old GW decals, and they fell apart trying to apply them, but I managed to save the they came out a little lumpy, I’m hoping decal softener will flatten them out, if not I’ll use some strategic mud to cover imperfections.

Now those are huge lovely monsters of a vehicle , Gunner.
And the infantry stands really fit the bill.
Excellent job. Are those stationforge models ?

A veritable life saver  ;) lol lol lol
Don't you just hate it when that unique decal , you've been saving for years for a special project just breaks up ?!!!!
( I have some which are some 30 to 40 years old )

Sometimes it is worthwhile, taking a pic of them/ scan them & print them on an inkjet or laserjet ( laserjet is much better but you have to have
laserjet decal paper )

Those decals are probably 25-30 years old, the eagle was very yellow on the paper, but went on the model whiter, it broken into 3-4 pieces, but I manoeuvred them into place, the industrial stripes were more fragile, but I got them into some semblance of order, I’ll let the decal softener do its thing over night and seal them tomorrow.

Hi guys

13 years ago I started a 15mm 40k


And I’ve been gleefully enjoying seeing your updates all along! Really great work and very inspirational. 15mm is a great scale for 40k, since you can still have detailed infantry but also space for the gigantic vehicles of the setting.

Thanks for continuing to share!

 Hi guys

Going to call these 15mm heavy troop transports done, I usually like to base vehicles, but these are pretty big, so I may leave them, in this 15mm sci-fi project, I will go back to painting my Nids.
