New 15mm Army

Having recently purchased Two hour Waragmaes\ Rebel Minis "5150 Company Commander - Total War" I found myself in need of a second 15mm army. 


I recently reached "sufficient numbers" I think with my Alternative armies 15m Ion Age Retained Knights force. (My hobby space and available time have stopped me photographing many finished over the last year - I may catch up at some point!). The game requires at least 3 squads of 6 to get started. I decided in the end to buy a set of 15mm "Hard Sci-fi" Grand Tactics - Jaegers sculpts for 3D printing (by Grand Fleet Admiral). The problem I have with hard Sci-fi schemes is that the "realistic" schemes look drab and indistinct, so it took me a few attempts to get something quick that I liked. So I'm making a note of it here as usual for my future reference!



  1. Prime Grey with white zenithal highlight
  2. Contrast Nazdreg Yellow all over
  3. Contrast Snakebite Leather for armoured areas (note different coloured helmets for squad leaders. etc)
  4. Contrast Aggros Dunes for backpack
  5. Basilcanum Grey for guns
  6. Light Dry brush Skeleton Bone
  7. Go over armoured areas again with Sepia Shade
  8. Metallic Blue for Helmet visors
Once the force is finished I'll do a full shot.
