As you may have noticed, my 'miniatures bought' tally to the right has jumped up from a mere seven to a whopping sixty-three. As I had mentioned to Blacksmith about the last HUD, it keeps me focused if nothing else. I placed a few orders, enough to fill in everything needed to tackle this year's HUD all in one shot. Above is the Khurasan bundle.
Starport PDF was on the HUD and here they are. Khurasan's Federal Defense Force are perfect matches for Colonial Marines, so I opted for two packs of them. Each pack will be further divided into three separate fire teams of three members each. Two of the fire teams with a SAW, the third with a Lieutenant and flamethrower. Of course to get around, each pack gets their own APC, or Heavy Attack Transport. I absolutely love the look of these vehicles, and you just don't realize how massive they really are until you see one in person. Longterm planning will have to include a garrison for the PDF including a hangar bay for both of these.
Another item on the HUD was Starport Security, or SPPD. The Federal Police are perfect for this. Shown behind them are a couple of sci-fi cars I got with the order for street decoration, but the SPPD will be riding around in these hover tanks I showed a while back. Each of the four hovers will have a pair of SPPD within. I am still looking for 15mm scaled police decals, I've found a lot of 28mm, but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be cool.
So there you have it, two entries coinciding with the HUD; Military PDF and Starport Security.
Great figs! Best Sci-Fi stuff I've seen yet. Only wish would be for them in 25mm
ReplyDeleteSeeing these sculpts in mind-boggling, detail rich 25mm would be fantastic. Mind you the above haul would've cost me five times as much...it's a trade off I guess.
DeleteRecently bought their seal and hazmat team, best 15mm I've ever seen....
ReplyDeleteI almost added that hazmat team to the order, only because they looked so cool, but ultimately I didn't have a plan for them.
DeleteVery cool minis, Mik! I didn't realize how big those vehicles are, they look great. No doubt your starport is going to be fantastic. I'm waiting on an order from Khurasan to arrive (pulp-era mostly but a little sci-fi too) and seeing your new purchases makes me even more impatient.
ReplyDeleteHeya Padre! Yup, those APC's are MASSIVE to say the least. They look amazingly cool, but yeah, very large. One thing about the resin stuff though, it is crisp everywhere but where the sprues were attached and there it's pretty darn ugly.
DeleteI keep forgetting about those security guards.. One day I'll get to them. Great haul!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention it, but they fit very well with the colonial marines too. One of the security troopers is armed with the same M41a-esque pulse rifle that the marines have.
DeleteThey are must-have I think.. I don't have any future police for my space "adventurers" to fight!
DeleteThanks for posting raw metal pics.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not!
DeleteHey Mik! Nice to see those Khurasan vehicles 'in the raw' as it were. It does help to make up a dithering mind whether to buy or not-thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteHeya Gunrunner, glad to be of service. If you've been on the post for these vehicles I say jump right in. I built them just today, they went together easy and they look fantastic.
DeleteUnlike another pair of 15mm vehicles that will be popping up here in a couple of days...
