Armed Rebelminis Greys

I finished the pack of Rebeleminis Armed Aliens. I used GW tin bits(?) for the base of my leaders (greys w/ cloaks) and then did some washes with GW Baal Red. I was trying to mimic a technique that a guy on TMP used for some of his aliens.

I now have a 40+ greys (all Rebelminis) and a couple of flying saucers that I created from milk carton lids. I need to create a few war machines and the force should be good-to-go.
I've also been working on some GZG space civilians. These come in a pack of 8 (4 poses) and make pretty nice generic humans. They are more hefty than the Rebelminis civilians I have, but they are also wearing heavier clothing so this does not bug me.

I want to pick up some of the other GZG unarmed civilians and techs at a later date also.

My cheap vehicle find came via my 9yr daughter who went to a birthday party and go it as a party favor and then gave it to me. This is really pretty cool and matches the 15mm scale IMO. I will need to weather it, but it looks nice as-is too.

What I am Working On...
  • GZG Space Civilians (3 of 8 cmp)
  • Rebelminis Civilians (6 of 21 cmp)
  • Coldwars zombie in overalls (tried a new color scheme but failed, re-priming ATM)
  • Buildings - I want to try to make some basic buildings, inspired by some 15mm habitats shown recently on the TMP.
Thanks for reading.

Rebelminis Greys (15mm)

Here are some Rebelminis Greys (aliens). I want to use these with the Spriggan Miniatures SPUGS (space bugs) so I tried to paint mine to look ant-like. The picture to the left has a 28mm nuclear reactor I picked up from The War Store (thewarstore.com) that looks spot on for 15mm imo.

I painted them using Ral Partha Dragon Tongue Purple and then did washes of GW Ogron Flesh and Baal Red. Next I did some highlights with the Dragon Tongue purple again. I think they have a cool look to them. I have the Greys with weapons to also paint and am looking forward to doing so.

Here are some side-by-sides showing the relative heights of some of the 15mm miniatures that I have. L-R:
  • Rebelminis Grey
  • Rebelminis Special Forces
  • Spriggan Games SPUG
  • Mech Warrior Clix Infantry
  • GZG Trooper (SG1 pack iirc)
  • GZG Space Traveler
Currently working on:
  • Rebelminis Civilians (5/21 complete)
  • GZG Civilians
  • Coldwars Zombie in overalls
Thanks for looking.
