From FranL - 15mm Sci-Fi Paramilitary Police (146 Points)

.....and Medical Support!

These are from Alternative Armies with some GZG vehicles, the police figures are resin and not a bad sculpt, the medical crew are meant to be synthetics and are some awful sculpts but with a medical cross on their backs and bags (I thought they were okay by the pictures.......sigh........but they'll do).


This is your contracted protection for that backwater planet but with valuable resources, the G4S of the future!


Headquarters vehicle with robotic land sharks......


Medical teams......

Protesters or zombies?

Aircars.

Bikers.........

The boys and girls of Backwater Security Services.....

Even attempted a head swap....

5 vehicles and 51 figures inclusive of figures, bikes, bodybags and cybermastiffs!





More near future madness. Is it too early to deploy these guys in Post-Brexit Britain? (too political ??) A great mix of stuff as always. I'm treating the bikes as cavalry/mounted so 4pts apiece which is the same as the bike and dismounted rider at 2pts each (call me anal but I like the points in the correct column on the scores spreadsheet!!). I'm throwing in a couple of bonus points for the larger vehicles (cos its big of course) and another couple for the madness of attempting a head conversion!! So that brings you up to a very respectable 146 points for this entry. Well done Fran.

From FranL - Near Future/Sci-Fi US Force (124 Points)

This before you is the future of US forces in our near future (maybe not that near) to defend against alien incursions or to take the fight to the stars maybe..........

15mm figures from White Dragon Miniatures, GZG and Khurasan Miniatures.





Recon Mechs......


Standard infantry.....

Heavy Mech, SEAL Team and Synthetics.......


Heavy Assault Infantry.....


Synthetics are the future........


Casualties........

The force is made up of 44 figures plus 4 Recon Mechs plus 1 Heavy Mech.



More near future sci-fi loveliness. None of that frilly lace and sheep were getting from the Donnybrook Kid... It has to be said your painting output is prodigious, but as a Mud Farmer I guess you have a lot of time on your hands at this time of year? Seriously though I really like these, particularly the Mechs. 

I can only count 42 infantry (unless you have crew inside the Heavy Mech!?) so they'll get you 84 points. The four Recon Mechs looks to be about the equivalent of 28mm infantry so I'll award five apiece, so 20 in total for these. Now the Heavy Mech is a monster of a vehicle. I'll start with base points for a 15mm vehicle which is 8 but award another 8 bonus points for its sheer size. That brings the total up to 120 points.

UPDATE: Fran kindly pointed out the two missing infantrymen I couldn't find (hiding, bold as brass in that last photo!!), so I've added another 4 points for these.
