Recent Purchases - For My 15mm Sci-Fi

You know what it's like....you see something (a model or piece of scenery) and immediately think, that would just go brilliantly with X !! Well in my case this happened twice in the last month. I stumbled across some AT-43 mechs on E-Bay, and also a piece of Kryomech scenery. In both cases the manufactures are now out of business, only the gods know if we will ever see them again in production. Although both pieces are designed for 28 and 25mm, I think they look fine with my 15mm Sci-Fi collection. For scale comparison I've included a few 15mm figures and vehicles.

You can still get the Kryomek stuff from Grendel if you need more...

Fair point ! On checking you are correct, Grendel Miniatures are stocking their stuff. Unfortunately on checking their web store, there are no pictures :( So you have no idea what it is you might be buying.

Good buy, I picked up the whole Kryomech building line about 14 years ago, was going to use them for 25mm back then but they do look good for 15s.

Steave thanks for the heads up about Grendel....I had no idea.

I use the AT-43 Kolossus for my Highlander Studio, Space Bug army as a medium walker.

What rules do you use ? (ie FUBAR, Beamstrike ?) and what weapons are you assigning it ?
Cheers

Are there any buildings that might work particularly well, that I should be looking out for ?

Cheers

I use Tomorrow's Wars and GruntZ. I've equipped it with a 40mm Auto Cannon and a Medium Plasma. I've though about using the the bigger stuff like you did. I only paid $9 US for a three unit box of the Kolossus.
