First warriors of my Space Opera...

The Red Lance are the military arm of the Krom Corporation and are used to protect corporate assets.

The Lance assault team distinguished by red armour.

Lance Troopers with Sergeant (the guy without a helmet and missing a shoulder pad).

These are Ikore plastic Virdians from Scotia Grendel. At a massive 50p a pop I am not arguing. :D

Lance support bot with heavy weapon.

They look like Death Vader in an orange suit! Ya did a good job getting the orange to work out well too. Is the icon on the shield a transfer?

They'll be very sharp looking in battle, especially with a support robot.

Looks good warlord. I'm planning to use the same minis as my corporate enforces.

Those viridians just have the look of corporate forces.

Thanks for the kind comments. They look redder in the plastic.

The markings are all hand painted! I should get a shot of the bots shoulder as I painted one on there too.

Dawgie - these guys are a pain especially in the Secret Armory of General Knoxx add on game. I look forward to seeing them get slaughtered! :D I will be using them a universal bad guys on Grimm's World. Also in the pipeline...a officer!

Here is a officer for the Red Lance. Officers often have different coloured armour from the rand and file.

Some good ideas! It's a wonder that there is no borderlands mini game, I think it would translate well to tabletop.

I have been raiding my mini collections to make up various forces for this setting. Here we go with the Security forces of the Blue sun Corporation.
Posted Image
These are EM4 Combat zone plastics. They used to serve in my Stalker Setting as Clear Sky Stalkers.

Posted Image
A Blue Sun Sniper. This guy is a EM4/Grenadier Sniper. Again a ex Clear Sky Stalker.

Hansa is a federation of trading independent planets. They rely on each other for protection. As such they hire excellent warriors to defend their planets, stations and wares.
Posted Image
These are again EM4 Combat Zone plastics. The guy on the far right has been converted to carry a Flettchett cannon.These guys where also serving in my Stalker Setting. These were Mercenaries.

The Red Lance needed a little more punch. So they formed a BAD ASS Squad!! Power Armoured troops equipped with heavy SMGs, energy weapons and heavy weapons.

Posted Image

The minis are EM4 Space rangers and are dirt cheap. I am tempted to get more for other big organisations.

Posted Image
The officer and autocannon gunner.

Posted Image
Troopers with heavy SMGs and a plasma gun.

Growing up I was (and still am) a huge Red Dwarf fan. Some years ago I made a not Not Red Dwarf Crew for my Wastelands. With me looking into my Wild Galaxy setting in more depth I plan a few ship's crews. Naturally my Not Red Dwarf figures would be ideal for my sci fi setting.

Those who follow my (demented) work may remember these guys....

Posted Image
Krissy, Rimmer and Lister. One day I may get around to adding dreadlocks made from putty for Lister. One day...

I eventually got a Kryten miniature...
Posted Image

This was a clix robot. It had a scary head so I swapped it with a old plastic Void Viridian head. It was shaved to add angles and remove hair detail.The screen that Kryten has built into his chest was made from a disc of putty. I pushed a bead into it to give the raised look in the center. A quick splash of paint and we have our Bog Bot!

Posted Image
The whole crew so far. I need to find a suitable figure for Cat now.

Wild Galaxy needs some bad guys too. Pirates are always a good addition.

Posted Image
This guy is a old GW 40K Rogue Trader Pirate. He was sitting there unloved and unpainted in the mini pile since the late 1980's. To be honest I was tempted to paint him in Vault Dweller colors. :lol:

I love the show too but I never thought I'd see them in miniature form, nice choice of figures for them. That pirate is a great figure, very sleazy looking!

I have recently decided to keep going on my 15mm Sci Fi stuff. I decided to put everything on a single frontier world and develop my collection around this world.

Introducing Planet Wolfden:

Wolfden is a semi arid independent world that is a trade hub for many other colonies and frontier worlds.

Wolfden was partially terraformed when it was discovered and had the accolade of the furthest colony from Earth. During the terraforming process Pirates moved in and used the world as a base. Years later the arriving colonists got a nasty surprise and were never heard from again. The Pirates named their world "Wolf-Den".

After Earth's destruction (see the Wild Galaxy background) there was many new colonies further out than Wolfden and the Pirates became a real menace. A rich "Merchant" (rumor has it he was a Ex-Pirate looking to settle down) hired a small fleet of Privateer & Freelancer vessels to rid the sector of the Pirates.

The Privateers launched a surprise attack. A fierce battle followed and the worlds surface has many wrecks from this fight. The surviving pirates fled. Soon after the liberation of Wolfden a colony was formed becoming fiercely independent and the rest is history.

Wolfden has a Space Port, a Capitol City, the Desert Region (the Outback), a Star Ship Junk Yard (Hullscape) and the Bad lands. There is also shallow seas, small forests & jungles and small icecaps.

More details of this world will be released as the background grows (read as my demented mind dreams it up).

In the Outback there is a nomadic group of known as the 'Mad's who raid everyone who crosses their path. The 'Mads claim that they are the descendants of some of the pirate crews of Wolfden and claim that Wolfden is rightfully theirs.

Posted Image
The 'Mad's are 15mm.co.uk Arid World Warriors.

West of the Spaceport lies a Starship Scrapyard known as Hullscape. These ships are old transports that were converted for carrying colonists and supplies. They were on their last legs and the colony founders bought them for a one way trip to Wolfden.

The ships were kept for parts and scrap. Hullscape is a nightmare maze of rusting passageways and dead ends. It wasn't long before the authorities lost control to the gangs. These gangs are known as Skrappers.

Posted Image
The Skrappers are 15mm.co.uk Post Apocalyptic Warriors.

I was pleased at how quickly all of these figures painted up. The sharp eyed will probably realize that this lot can also be used for Post Apoc. I am hedging my bets on this figures, just in case I decide to go to 15mm on all my collection.

I have also been working on a couple of bits of terrain for 15mm. The only one I have finished is this Colony Building.

Posted Image
The building is made up from small spare bits of Hexagon Platformer kits.


Posted Image
The ribbed bits make good windows I think.
Posted Image
There is more 15mm Factions & Terrain to follow.
