From ChrisW: Even more 15mm Sci-fi stuff - Civilian and military [108 points]

So, time for some generic vehicles, some civilian vehicles and some NSL hover bikes.

Up first are the generic military. They are painted in a neutral camo green colour, so theoretically I can use them for any army. The jeeps, trailers and ATV are all from GZG, while the communications vehicle is a matchbox toy. 


The civilian vehicles are also from GZG 

The Mule from the Serenity movie!

Note the dollar store 'gem' for a light

These really were fun to paint. The 'mule' was primed white then painted with a new Vallejo yellow Xpress paint that covered the vehicle very nicely. For the orange vehicles I used an old GW foundation paint for the orange base, then a mix of orange paints and a wash of GW Carroburg crimson and some final dry brushing highlights.

Finally here are some New Swabian League (NSL) hover bikes. It seems I have bought rather a lot of GZG bikes, at least 1/2 dozen per faction (six factions) so I have plenty left to paint. Here are 8 NSL bikes.

The base colour is the same that I used for the main NSL fighting vehicles, minus the brown camo.


So the totals

  •   40 points for 5 ish 15mm vehicles (8 points each) (counting the trailers at 4 each)
  •     4 points for 2x 15mm generic drivers
  •   32 points for 4x 15mm civilian vehicles
  •   32 points for 8x 15mm mounted figures (4 points each)

Total 108 points

I like the variety here Chris! Every tabletop needs some civvy scatter vehicles and these ones look great. The not-Flying Mule from Firefly is super. Good idea to paint some "generic" drab vehicles that can fit into any faction as well. Your 15mm motor pool continues to expand!

108 for you :-)
