Any Smuggling Crews And Independent Adventurers For 15mm VSF?
« on: August 28, 2016, 12:10:17 AM »
Are there any good 15mm candidates for a VSF version of Firefly - meaning the crew and colorful characters of the ship Serenity?

It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to convert the smuggling crew theme to a new genre, don't you think?



Something like this in 15mm could work as Jayne's VSF counterpart (with his "Vera"):

I believe Kurasan makes some

I think GZG did some as well. It shouldn't be too hard to us some Old West/AWI figures to get the desired effect.

Do you guys might these could work as Alliance?  Or as some rogue villain's private force?

Hey, and these look interesting:

And I found the ones from Highlander Studios:

For the crew head to GZG 15mm set sg15-x04b to give you one of each character.  The figures are a little static but good representations.

Hi Andrew,

Good suggestion!  This other GZG trader crew set (sg15-x04a) looks good too, though a little bit of conversion might be needed:

Found this close-up picture with the core figures, before they were expanded and then split into two sets:

Hi, Dan!

Of course, I thought we were supposed to see the Alliance as some rogue villian's private force.  :D

Have been dabbling a bit with 15mm myself, and delighted for the thought on these.

Hi Doug!

Here's another option for a Nemo-like uniformed crew:

These armored guys really look like they could be useful for armored "Alliance" troops:

I wonder if anyone is planning to put them back in production.  Anyone know?

PS.  These Rebel Minis characters paint up nicely.  I really wish I had his skill:
