15mm Klingons

Today, I have some pictures of the Imperials from Astro Miniatures, painted as Star Trek Original Series Klingons.

A Gotham City Interlude

Taking a break from the 15mm stuff, here are some superhero miniatures I painted in fall and winter 2014. These are all repainted Heroclix figures, roughly 30-35mm tall.
"I am the night."


Batgirl and Robin




"Batmobile lost a wheel, and the Joker got away..."

The orange jumpsuit henchmen are 28mm metal miniatures from Tactical Miniatures (now sold by Armorcast). They are small compared to the Heroclix.  I figure they're just henchmen, so if the heroes loom over them, that makes it all the more dramatic.

To Boldly Go Where No 15mm Miniature Has Gone Before

I've decided that 2015 is my year to get into 15mm sci-fi miniatures in a big way. So over the Holidays, I completed a project that had been languishing on my desk since early in 2014.  Astro Miniatures produces a line of 15mm minis called "Explorers." When painted appropriately, they can be used as Starfleet crew in Star Trek games set during the Original Series.

Carnage on Omega Epsilon VII

This afternoon, my daughter and I tried out the free "Away Team" rules from Astro Miniatures. The miniatures are also produced by Astro, in  15mm scale.

We used the Astro Explorers as a Star Fleet landing party, and the Raptor miniatures to represent the Gorns.  I played Star Fleet, my daughter was the Gorn.
