a chronicle of my fall from 28mm scifi gaming/painting into the wonderful abyss of constantly emerging new 15mm toys

Squamata Imperialis battle force
Hello, just finished my first 34 Squamata Imperialis figures from Critical Mass Games. 62 more to go. Loved painting these guys-very simple easy paintjob.These figures will always star in my battles, as the sculptor is a genius, so much character and cartooniness and so any unique figures. To me ,they really capture the feel of the wacky 2nd edition 40K orks(which are my only fond memories of 40K).
I have used 6 Khurasan orca power armor suits to add to the battleforce( like district9 poower armor, or Ork killakans)
squamata imperialis power armor
Still a WIP; just blocked in initial colors. wanted to show what a great fit these Khurasan orca power armor figs are for my
Squamata Imperialis force. If anyone ever reads this, I am open to suggestions on the black dome.
current options-
1)all bllack
2) all gold
3)same linen color as SI troopers' mask, with 2 black porthole "eyes"
4) black with white drawn teethand eyes.
bytheway, these power armor units stand about twice the height of my Squamata Imperialis troopers, giving a very good District 9 pwer armr feel about them.
size comparison
Just a quick size comparison, mainly to show the Squamata Imperialis model from Critical Mass Games.
The squamata trooper is in a nice red jumpsuit, his companions are an Octopod from 15mmUK; a snake mercenary from Critical Mass Games; and an armored NSL trooper from GZG.

NSL WALKER camo test
first of 3 walkers for my mechanized infantry NSL force. walker is a 28mm model from Enigma games(oop). Scale figure is GZG NSL power armored trooper. My normal armored troops are grey fatigues with burgundy rose armor-matching the walker.
I think this makes a nice armored infantry support /scout mech.

squid horde
here is my squid horde; 180 octopods with attitude ready to defend their homeworld.
these are by 15mmuk. and were painted by my friend Jason-TMP/SAXON DOG.
I realize not much detail can be seen and will provide detail shots in a later post.
This was just to show off what an amazing site they are in mass.a very intimidating horde
to be sure. While I would not rate them as the best sculpting ever, they really do grow on you and look great painted up.
and the sheer joy of not having to paint 180 orange jumpsuits is a good feeling to relish. I'm sure saxon dog is still seeing orange when he closes his eyes.
painted squad of ????
These are 20 soldiers( sorry forgot manufacturor) that a friend of mine painted for me. They are actually quite large for 15mm, actually standing about 20mm. The figures are very nice, made even better by the fantasticpaintjob by Jason- TMP/ SAXON DOG.I feellikkemy camerawork really does an injusticeto this paintjob. Only two poses , but they remind me a little of Battletech troopsfrom the game battletroops- it must be the guy wth the shoulder SRM. and their helmets are very beaky, which isgreat.
These 20 guys will see service as maybe a mercenary band of tall aliens.
