Khurasan Miniatures just released some excellent Crocodilian Lancers in their Mystery Island range.  Crocs riding Rinos, what could be better.  If you're a fan of the Khurasan Miniatures Sci-Fi Garn, these guys would make an excellent addition.

Khurasan Miniatures releases Goo, I mean Lime Goo. 
 
From Their Website

That shipment of limes from earth had something weird in it, some pulsating gooey thing that little Bobby found and put in a cardboard box under his bed until it emerged, huge and tentacled, to threaten the space station, and perhaps mankind itself! Don't shoot it, that's a fatal error, for that's how the fiends multiply, and now they are legion!

Models are 15mm tall to considerable eye. Three poses of one-piece models. Sculpted by "Whiff Waff."

Khurasan Miniatures - Molokon-Rattler (15mm Spider/Mech type figure).
 
From Khurasan Miniature's Blog
 
Mike Broadbent has created the 15mm Rattler model, which has six legs which plug into holes along the main chassis of the unit, as well as a gun torso and head, which like the legs is posable. As can be seen from the photo below, there's some flexibility in the models -- for instance, simply remove the hatchet head of the Rattler and its whole looks changes to a more arachnoid look. These are also quite suitable as sentry robots or similar for 28mm gaming.

Critical Mass Games is coming out with some additional weapons for the ARC Fleet.
 
 
We have had quite a few emails off people requesting gun variants amongst the ARC fleet range. As with everything this takes and with such an extensive range planned out we have to fit projects in where we can around the current schedule. Our first step was to get Rob on the case and he came up with 12 new concepts of which 6 where then selected for sculpting by Phil.
 
These are currently off being moulded and once cast well be on there way back to Phil to arm up some AF troops and Mercenaries (if Phils puttying arm begins to twitch!)

Just received some great gaming supplies and miniatures from The Scene UK.  Included were the space troopers.  If you been looking to do a 15mm Space Hulk, Alien or other Spaceship boarding type games, these are the figures you want.  For the bad guys I would suggest the Khurasan Miniatures Space Demons.

I have been very tight lipped about some new 15mm coming soon.
 
Scott of Four Color Figures and Superfigs is now sharing some of that information.  When I hear more I will be sure to let you know.
 
Work continues apace on the company-level 15mm sci-fi rules I am working on. Also got to see some pics of the first greens and they look very nice. Can't share them as of yet, but I think many 15mm sci-fi fans will applaud another source of great infantry.

Did I mention we'll be doing some walkers, too? Well now I am mentioning it. I'll have a gander at the first batch of those this coming week. They'll be a mix of resin bodies with metal legs and arm-based weapon mounts. No hands or obvious close combat weapons on these guys, and they should be low-slung affairs, with low centers of gravity. We'll see!

Pole Bitwy is a new wargaming company from Poland. They are targeting 15mm / 1:100 scale miniatures, but they also plan on releasing several 6mm and 28mm figures.

Under development is a post-apocalypse skirmish game in 15mm. You can find more information about this planned product here: http://www.WorldWideWater.pl also check out their other 15mm greens and yes 15mm Apes
 
Since I really like bugs, here are some bug greens (Spiders) that they are working on.  These spiders are for their 15mm range although you could use them for 6mm or 28mm.

Well I was just visiting a store in the U.S. called Target.  It is basically an upscale Walmart.  Any way, I was cruising the toy isles and what do I find, but some cool 15mm looking (Actually 1/64) Jada Battle Machines.  The retail price is $2.99 and seems like a bargin.  The Battle Machines are cars and trucks with guns, how cool is that.  They of course come pre-assembled/pre-painted and ready for gaming.  As it turns out Steve Jackson is local to Texas and there is a large Car Wars group here.  There are a few Car Wars type games out there to include Steve Jackson's Car Wars, Autoduel, Axles and Alloys (by Owen Cooper), Road Rage (by Chris Johnston) and Speed Rally There is also a good Yahoo Group

Coming soon there will be a fresh new company on the block called Art Crime Productions (ACPro).  The owner is a veteran of 10 years in the gaming industry.  I have included proto-types of soon to be released 15mm figures, vehicles, walkers.    Since these are just prototypes of things to come, there will most likely be changes prior to release.
 
15mm just keeps getting better and better.

Want a cool Bug army that would work for 6mm, 15mm or even 28mm.  Well check out this army that I created using a few models from various gaming companies.  I used 3 base sizes to include 40x15mm, 40x30mm and 50mm round bases.
 
6mm (Ground Zero Games - Dirtside DSM-130 - A {Bug Pack})
15mm (Khurasan Miniatures - (Parasachnid Bioweapons)
28mm (I want to say these were old GZG Arachnid like Warrior Bugs).  You may be able to substitute these with  Mongoose Publishing's Arachnid Warrior Bugs, from the OOP game Starship Troopers.

Hello Everyone,

This time we have the crew and ground staff of any near or far future Starfighter or Aircraft. Those brave lads who don their flight suits and soar upwards to battle any number of evil doers, many tentacled aliens, galactic dominating empires and so on.

She’s a good ship…but will she do that infamous run in under 5 parsecs!

HOF57 Starfighter Crew is now available as single castings, one 15mm figure for £0.35, so that you can tailor make your forces for your gaming. Four poses from this pack code: A Human Starfighter pilot in pressure suit helmet under arm, Human Starfighter co-pilot in pressure suit helmet on, Human Mechanic kneeling with fuel hose and Starship Servo Droid with repair tools and laser on three mini tracks.
See more details and images  These 15mm miniatures are perfect for use with Alien Squad Leader (ASQL) along with many other 15mm science fiction and near future rules systems.  HOF57 Starfighter Crew is also available as a 10 figure pack for £3.50.

The miniatures in the image are shown based on 20mm round plastic bases which can be purchased from us under code LBA5 – 80 Bases for £3.50.  As always if there are any questions please email me directly at sales@15mm.co.uk

Cheers,

Alex Scott.

This month (November 23rd) will see the release of the Protolene Khanates army.  The release will feature the first alien race for Critical Mass Games and let me tell you, you're going to love them.    The troop types will include Scouts (16 variants), Predators (14 variants) and Hunters (14 variants).  That is a ton of figures.
 
The weapons they use include Particle Cannons, Heavy Assault Laser, Sniper Rifles, Assault Lasers, Laser Carbines and Laser Pistols.
 
The Scouts are lighter armored than the Predators and Hunters, yet they make up for it in all around fire power.  The Predators carry laser pistols, so I assume they are more for close combat action.  The Hunters are a little heavier armored and carry the bigger laser weapons to include the Assault Lasers, Heavy Assault Lasers and Particle Cannons.
 
It is a little hard to see the difference between a Scout and the Hunters.  The Hunters have bigger shoulder pads with a little ridge on them.  The Scouts have more of a rounded shoulder pad.  Hunters also don't carry Sniper Rifles.
 
This is a really exciting release because the ARC Fleet will actually have an enemy to play against.  The bad news is the Protolene don't have any heavy hitters at the moment in the form of vehicles or walkers, so we will just have to wait and see what CMGs comes up with.
 
I hope to have some good closeups of these figures this week, so stay tuned.  In the mean time head over to Dropship Horizon for some good close-ups of them in metal form.

RAFM Miniatures just added some more 15mm figures to their lineup.  I will have a better review of a few of these figures in the coming days.  The figures tend to be a little smaller than what many of the new 15mm companies are producing.  I have found though that the quality is outstanding.  I was really impressed by the alien packs (War hounds of Sirius, Car Leonis Warriors, and Dracos Warriors).  In fact I was pretty blown away by how nice they were.  I didn't expect the overall detail and quality.  Whoever originally sculpted them was amazing.  These were the original traveler figures back in the early 80's.

15mm Cnidarian Overlord Warriors in Powered Battle Dress with Anti-Grav Packs

Even though the design was to have the Parasachnids to have their legs mounted lengthwise, I opted to mount mine widthwise.  IMO it makes more sense to mount them that way.

Critical Mass Games will be releasing their 3rd Wave of figures to include the ARC Fleet Heavy Tank and Arc Fleet Laser Defense Platform.   I must say these ARC Fleet Heavy Tanks look even better than even the drawings portrayed.  With all the extra metal guns options I am sure people will be using them for all sorts of conversions.  I am sure I will opt for the Tank Platoon.

Attached are a few shots of the Heavy tank resin components and some pictures of a mock up build, note that some of the components shown in this build will be metal in the production model.
 
We will be releasing two versions for the ARC Fleet heavy tank, the Mark I turret version, a buttoned up resin turret, and the Mark II Command turret which comes with two crew and two hatches which can be positioned as required. Both variants will be supplied with three barrel options, the rail gun, the cannon, and the energy gun, and two missile packs.

AFVH9 will be the ARC Fleet Heavy Tank MkI. £8.50
AFVH10 will be the ARC Fleet MkII. £9.50
AFVH11 will be the ARC Fleet heavy Tank Platoon consisting of 2 MkI kits and 1 MkII kit. £23.50

Here is the first look of the Khurasan Miniatures Lion Atttack Transport.  Love the look of this vehicle.  It will be an awesome extension to any 15mm Felid army
 
From Jon at Khurasan Miniatures (world exclusive!)

This enormous beast of a vehicle is shown below with one of its wheels attached -- eight will eventually be cast, four to a side. (It's propped up in quarters for these photographs.) Attaching the wheels will be quite simple with their unique and weight-bearing wedge attachment points.

As the vehicle functions as a main battle tank, with a powerful energy weapon on the roof, and at the same time as a transport for a circle of Felid warriors (ten, not counting vehicle crew), it needs to have the size to fulfill both missions at the same time, and as can be seen in this comparison to a 15mm scale T34/85 tank, it's got it! It's substantially longer than the tank, and towers over it.

Should be available for purchase in a month or so.

Well it seems that Jon of Khurasan Miniatures is not taking this 15mm thing lightly.  He is about to introduce another range of 15mm horror/sci-fi goodness called "They Came from Planet 15".  I absolutely love this concept.  Bring it on. 
 
From Jon himself
 

We are very pleased to announce "They Came from Planet 15" -- a new range of 15mm sci fi based on cinema horrors and adventures with a sci fi flavour. First up: "THOSE!", giant ants to crawl into bedrooms at night and drag the heroine off so that Slab Beefjaw can rescue her! Must have been the work of ATOMIC RADIATION.
 
Painted by Chris Yaro
 
Note these are giant -- 5 feet long or so -- not gigantic! We think they are actually scarier when they're the size of a big dog rather than the size of a volkswagon.

The next release will be "the beast that confronted the globe," a snaily terror, as slimy as all get-out! And yes, we will be releasing human foes for the radiated horrors and raygun wielding spacemen to battle, as well as spunky female reporters and bathing beauties to protect. Give us time though -- releases will be occasional.

The line will be added soon to our webstore ….

Khurasan Miniatures is at it again.  As soon as I order something from them, Jon comes out with another set of figures.  This time its the Mystri Island Bloodworm.
 
From Khurasan Miniatures Website
 
The females of this horrible species frequently reach lengths of 60 feet or more, and live underground, making multiple tunnels to the surface, then laying in wait below ground, sensing the slighted vibration and the best tunnel to use to surprise the unwary creature above the surface. The creature will then rush to the surface, impale the prey with its spiky mouthparts, and suck all of the juices from the creature, leaving a dried, leathery husk. Naturally the prey often attempts to fight back, but the bloodworm's segmented armour is like steel, protection from the sharpest spear or sword.

The males are small and inoffensive creatures that live at the roots of trees placidly sucking the sap, and are sought out by the females only for mating, though they are a delicacy on Mystri Island when they can be dug up.

A towering worm monster well over 25mm tall, this creature will be a serious menace for your Mystri Island adventurers, and would even give serious pause to a 28mm character! Sculpted by Mark Evans.  Bloodworm painted by Carl Robson.

Now some may not know this, but Dream Pod 9 has some really cool figures that are 15mm or close enough to work perfectly in 15mm games.  One set of figures is called FLAIL and they are located in their Heavy Gear CEF & PAK Miniatures line (FLAIL Platoon Pack[DP9-9142]).  When I first heard about these figures I wasn't quite sure how they would fit in, but after seeing them I am totally convinced.  Also check out Dream Pod 9's Gear Krieg line of 15mm figures and their Decal Packs.

Do you like grass hoppers?  Do you like praying mantises?  Well then your going to absolutely love these Mantis Stalkers.  Khurasan Miniatures will be releasing another winner (Release date TBA).  Look for them probably in a month or two.
 
These are deployed by drop pod by the Pelagic Dominate, often hours, days or even weeks before an invasion. They sow mayhem in the enemy lines, as they are able to stalk the enemy whilst nearly invisible, slowly creeping forward or ensconced in an ambush position, standing motionless for hours or even days before striking precisely and with lightning speed.

If the invasion fails, they often go feral and constitute a major menace to the sentient population.

Two stalking poses, two striking poses.

Khurasan Miniatures has done it again.  They are coming out with another great troop release called the Felids.  I had seen these in metal form on Dropship Horizon's blog, but seeing them painted up by Chris Yaro gives you another perspective as to how good these figures are.  Chris has really been able to bring out the wonderful character in these figures.

Old Crow Models has been around for quite some time, but many people still don't know they exist.  Old Crow has a fantastic range of 15mm and 28mm vehicles as well as other cool resin products.  Many of the vehicles have 3 option types (tracked, wheeled or grav) and some also have different turret types.  All in all a ton of vehicles to choose from. 
 
Here is just a sample of some of the vehicles they offer in 15mm.

Some people might be surprised to find that Hydra Miniatures has some really cool figures that are perfect for 15mm Sci-Fi.  These figures include the Retro Raygun Robots Legion Hoverbots and Minibots as well as the Primal Dawn Vardu Sprouts.  Hydra Miniatures also has a fantastic gallery of painted figures to drool over and get ideas from, so be sure to check it out. 
 
I would like to thank Matthew Beauchamp for sending out these samples for me to preview.  I found the Hydra figures to have limited flash/excess metal, which was easily removed.   I based the Minirobots and Sprouts on 25mm bases rather than my standard 20mm bases for 15mm stuff.

Just recently Khurasan Miniatures released two sets (Command/HMG and Trooper packs) of shark looking Sci-Fi creatures known as the Karkarine.  I wasn't sure if I would like these figures or not.  They are definitely different in many ways from other Sci-Fi figures out there.  They seem to have an almost pulpish feel to them.  I am glad to report that after painting one of these figures up, I must say I have found them to be quite good in cast quality and likability.  The thing is, these figures really do grow on you.  They are simply fun to game with.

Just received the Khurasan Miniatures Pelagic Dominate "Man of War" Heavy Anti-Grav Vehicle Main Battle Tank.  From Khurasan's website, it is a little hard to tell how big this vehicles is.  I am happy to announce that you will not be disappointed.  The tank is a perfect size for 15mm, not too big or small.  The detail on the tank is outstanding.  I did find that there were a couple of areas that needed sanding where the resin was injected into the mold, but nothing a few minutes worth of filing/sanding didn't fix.  Since the tank is an anti-grav vehicle, it also came with a flying base and rod (That part of the kit is white metal).   The rest of the parts are made out of resin, but I would have liked the gun barrel and side attachments to be made out of white metal as well.  I am always a little timid when gun barrels are resin, because I know it is just a matter of time before I break them.  This of course probably would have raised the price, so you have to weigh that against not having them in metal.  Other than that the model is perfect and looks really high tech.

Just received some very cool figures from Jon at Khurasan Miniatures called Parasachnids.  If you liked Starship Troopers, you're going to love these figures.  If you like bugs that have very large mouths you're going to love these figures.  The Parasachnids come in two parts (Body and Legs).  They are very easy to put together and my copies were free of flash and excess metal except for a little on the ends of the legs, which was easily removed. The only issue you may have with these figures is finding the appropriate base size.   Normally I base my 15mm figures for the most part on 20mm washers, but these will most likely require a 30mm base.  That will give you an idea how big they are.  So cool.  It is a little hard to see, but the figures also have 2 sets of arms/legs on the side of their bodies.  I can already see people buying large armies of these to re-enact some type of Starship Trooper encounter.

Rebel Minis just introduced the Earth Force Infiltrators.  With skin tight suits these figures look really good and based on what I am seeing, should paint up nicely.  They remind me of some show or movie I saw, but I just can not put my finger on it.

Just received the new ARC Fleet Combat Walker from Critical Mass Games.  I have to say the pictures just do not do this model justice in any way, shape or form.  You really have to see the model to appreciate how good it truly is.  The model comes in 6 parts ( 2 body, 2 legs and 2 metal feet) with weapon options that range from Chin guns (Not Chain Guns) single or double, Cannon Wings, and Missile Wings.  There is also an optional driver, hatch and metal gun with each Walker. 
 
I found the resin parts to be extremely clean and free of bubbles.  You will need to do some minor filing where the resin was injected into the mold.  The metal parts didn't need any filing that I could see.  Critical Mass Games was cool enough to also allow for the purchase of Platoons (3 Walkers), which when purchased, saves a little $$ or Pounds or whatever your currency is.  My Walkers did not come with the optional Missile Wings, since I ordered the Cannon Support Walker Platoon.

Everyone needs a little Grey.  These guys are just plain fun.  The little Grey Aliens by Alternative Armies 15mm.co.uk  probably have the most character.  Both Rebel Miniatures and Ground Zero Games Greys are more...well Grey looking with a less wacky weaponry.

Ever wanted some Sci-Fi reptilian creatures in your 15mm games.  Well my friends look no further than the Garn Alien Warriors by Khurasan Miniatures.  These figures are big, bad and hungry and truly make other 15mm look small next to them.  The Garn are actually quite cool and come with multiple guns to equip them with.  I didn't really find the guns to be all that different looking, with the exception of the heavy weapons.
 
From There Website

these are a sentient Reptilian species that evolved from a race similar to the great Tyrannosaurs of old Earth. Hulking and powerful, the exclusively carnivorous Garn are driven by two hearts and a relentless appetite for flesh and booty. These warriors need little protection other than their own thick, scaly skin as each wears an advanced technology force field on its back, and they carry large weapons of considerable power. In short, the normal Garn warrior is easily a match for the elite power armoured terran soldier, and is possessed of an irresistible will to conquer.

As it turns out some of those plastic Mechwarrior vehicles look great next to 15mm figures.  As an added bonus you can pick them up pretty cheap off the web.  Here is a few photos of a Mechwarrior Targ vehicle.  There are also quite a few Mechwarrior "MiningMech"s that would be perfect for both scenarios and battles.

With 15mm Sci-Fi becoming more popular, robots are always a welcome addition.  Ground Zero Games doesn't disappoint in this area.  They have two fantastic packs WorkBots pack 1 (SG15-V13-A) and GunBots (tracked) (V15-68A).  All I have to say is these are awesome little figures.  The robots will be perfect for battle settings as well as scenarios.

For all those Alien fans out there, Khurasan Miniatures has a product that you're going to love.  They are called the Space Demon Hive  The pictures really don't do them justice.  IMO these are by far the best Alien looking figures to date.  Each warrior pack of 8 figures comes with in two head variants and 4 body variants.  Warriors come in 3 flavors (Assault, Hammerhead and Demon Infiltrator).  The Assault Warriors and the Demon Infiltrators look most like the Alien creatures in the movie Alien.  There is also a Demon Queen and a Demon King.  Both those figures are quite large and are about double the size of the Warriors.

Matchbox has a vehicle that is just perfect for 15mm Sci-Fi games.  Plan on spending about $1-$2 per vehicle.  An excellent value all around.  It has been produced under many names and comes in many different paint jobs.  If you do a Google search for "Matchbox Armored Response Vehicle" or "Matchbox Armored Police Vehicle" you should be able to find lots of them.  You may even be able to find them at a local toy store that sells Matchbox cars.  The rear top of the vehicle slides backwards to reveal seats and a console.

I have had these miniatures with me since the early 1980's.  I believe they were first produced by Tabletop Games or something to that effect.  I finally got around to painting them up proper.  As it turns out these figures are quite good and stand up nicely next to some of the best 15mm Sci-Fi figures today.  You can still purchase these figures from 15mm.co.uk under the Laserburn line of Sci-Fi figures.

This miniature is now out of print and no longer available.  It was called the Burrower Bug from the Starship Troopers game by Mongoose Publishing.  I was lucky enough to purchase 2 of these suckers before they went the way of the Dodo.  The figure is one bug hunk of metal and always looks good on the table top.  It sort of reminded me of the worms on Dune.  You still can probably find these on Ebay, TMP or maybe on Bartertown

I am so pumped about these walkers.  Critical Mass Games IMO did an outstanding job on these blending the perfect mix of Resin and metal parts.  They also plan on having a group discount purchase if you buy 3 walkers of the same type.
 
Press Release:
 
We are happy to announce that Wave 2 of our planned releases will be on sale from Monday 21st September.  Included in this months releases are the much awaited ARC Fleet Combat Walker.

The Walker will be available in 4 variants.  All walkers are also supplied with one random crewman.  In addition, there will be 'platoon' box sets of 3 Scout Walkers at £23.00 or 3 Heavy Support (all same type) for £29.00.

All of these box set qualify for free world wide postage which we offer on all orders over £20.00.  Alongside the Walker we also have the 2nd wave of ARC Fleet foot troops, 8 packs of ARC Fleet Rifle Infantry. Each pack contains 8 figures, 3 poses, and are £3.20 each.

This pack of figures looks absolutely amazing and could easily pass as the perfect Firefly crew or any other sci-fi crew.  I placed an order for these and they are on their way.  Once I get them I will write up a nice review.  It is very refeshing to have sci-fi females that aren't over the top.  These sculpts look amazing.
