Post a Comment On: Fawcett Avenue Conscripts

[Image] Federal 15mm sci-fi troops from Khurasan Stop-and-start progress continues on my 15mm individually-based science fiction figures.  Here are some more models from Khurasan, this time from the "Federal Army" faction. They are painted to approximately match the blue colours I used for the same models which I based in groups, so they will fit in well with the vehicles I have already painted for this faction.

There is also a two-man heavy weapon team with a rapid-fire-20mm-cannon-looking weapon.

We got to play a couple weeks ago using the individually based 15mm models, and it went OK, so I look forward to getting these figures in action sometime soon.  I'm hoping to goose Dallas into painting a few more of his Rebel Miniatures Earth Force troops and popping them on to single bases so we can have a good smack-down. And if Dallas tries it, together we can pressure Mike F.....

But until then we will have plenty to go around between the burgeoning Federals, the Nova Respublik and the Control Battalion. 

The only thing that will stop me is running out of bases from Litko, which is just about to happen.  I put in an order three weeks ago for more, but Litko generally takes quite a while to fill orders, so I'll be excited if they get here before August comes. But watch this space for more troops, and some more vehicles, and musings/rantings on my hunt for the "right" tanks in this scale/period...
