    15mm Miniatures : Khurasan Exterminator Squad painting continues..

    1 April 2012 4 Comments

    I’ve really been enjoying painting these 15mm miniatures, just enough detail to please and only so big that the remaining models took me a couple hours to complete. Here is a couple of photos prior to basing :

    I finished a couple with more faceplate art;

    Specialist Sander, who suffered matching black eyes after a g-Shock accident, nicknamed sad-panda; so he marked his dome with a fiercer version.
    Rifleman Almos, always commenting about his ‘Game Face’, someone else drew the century old emoticon on his dome. He liked it, so the chalk stayed.
    Rifleman Muerton, a spelling error on the transfer sheet had this young marine quickly nicknamed kid-death, no surprise he embraced it to ward of bad luck.

    Adjusted to be close to realistic scale :

    I’m going to work on a new scheme for the remaining four figures. Base the lot and go from there. Next update will be a short while from now for this lot :)

      Hi Rick,
      Thanks for the feedback! Vehicles wise I’m eyeing off Khurasan’s new Stoat transport. When I buy a few more squads and bits (since I’m now quite liking 15mm scale) I’ll pick up a variety and post about it :)

      Thanks! Quite taken by how big these guys are. I thought 15mm would be very tiny, but there is a lot of surface area and you can do all sorts of things like markings, scratches and so on. All of it exaggerated, due to size, but it is very doable :)
