It would be great to get that Theta Drone in 15mm. Anyone know if more are in the works???

I'd love to know, before I decide if I'm going to dive in and buy their 15mm Spugs.

Thanks.

And jump spugs. And armored spugs.

Cacique Caribe28 Apr 2009 11:19 a.m. PST

For me, the unarmored look works great, provided there are sufficient variants:

Heck some more poses and light weapons would be great from my point of view.

Spacelord28 Apr 2009 12:52 p.m. PST

Please rest assured that there are plans for more 15mm spugs.

I'm afraid we had another baby which has cramped my sculpting time somewhat. (plus I suffered an unfortunate bout of lazygititis).

I loved doing the 15mm guys because it was just so fast to get results after slugging away at the 28s. I want to do versions of the heavy and jump spugs in 15mm, plus I'd like to do some crew for the heavy weapon and hover bikes- general purpose carrying equipment types. I'm not promising that the 15mm versions will be exact duplicates of their larger cousins, probably more a slight variant on the same theme.
Also- I'm open to requests :)

Looking forward to more 15mm Spug Options!!!

Oh, so that's the miniature you were working on… understandable, I suppose…

Could we have Spugnaughts? And maybe some mantis-riding Spug cavalry? 15mm has so many possibilities!

wminsing28 Apr 2009 1:38 p.m. PST

The mantis mounted cavalry sounds like a fantastic idea. I'll also do some brainstorming on some requests of my own….

I'd also like to see the Theta drone in 15mm, along with the other infantry options.

By the way, who sells 15mm Spugs in the US?

Thanks.

Redroom28 Apr 2009 2:13 p.m. PST

I got mine from Rattlehead Games

Redroom

Thanks! I just placed an order.

More 28mm Spugs too! The jetbike and gun, some form of mounted spugs etc. 28mm is the true scale after all!

Cacique Caribe28 Apr 2009 3:38 p.m. PST

Alien: "28mm is the true scale after all!"

LOL. I guess I'm "Bi".

I like both 28mm and 15mm, each for different reasons.

CC

Spacelord28 Apr 2009 3:38 p.m. PST

yes, but 15mm is the fast scale :)

But yes, more 28mm, noted.

JRacel28 Apr 2009 3:48 p.m. PST

yes, but 15mm is the fast scale :) – Spacelord

Very much agree on all levels. Ignor those 28mm folks, they have enough toys available grin, please keep feeding the growing demand for 15mm SciFi! Ambush Alley Games is working on a SciFi suppliment for their new Force on Force rules and that should really help push 15mm SciFi.

Please, more spugs, especially flyers and heavy armor!!!

Jeff

Cacique Caribe28 Apr 2009 3:54 p.m. PST

Agreed. The 15mm crowd needs more! Though I would rather have a few more poses of the unarmored ones.

QUESTION:
I forgot to ask this before placing my order earlier today but, are the 15mm Spugs one piece casts, or do they require any sort of assembly?

The Support gun and the bikes need a little assembly. The gun to its base and the bike to a small flight stand.

Pretty easy.

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP28 Apr 2009 7:50 p.m. PST

Would love to see more 15mm Spugs to add to my Army!

The Spug infantry need no assembly. Jeff nailed the rest.

Thanks,

John

Cacique Caribe28 Apr 2009 7:51 p.m. PST

Excellent. I got 3 packs/squads of the infantry and a couple of the support guns.

Thanks guys.

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP29 Apr 2009 5:48 a.m. PST

I'm using Kravak vehicles (skimmer and heavy tank) for my Spug ones. That rounds out the force pretty well.

Thanks,

John

The 28mm Spugnaught would make a good heavy walker for 15mm, too.

"The 28mm Spugnaught would make a good heavy walker for 15mm, too."

I have one for just this purpose!

Yep, the true scale of GI Joes all right.

alien BLOODY HELL surfer30 Apr 2009 4:33 p.m. PST

No, please make some more 28mm first! I've just got into 6mm (hint hint) and am trying to resist getting into 15mm too!!

Cacique Caribe07 May 2009 3:43 p.m. PST

These would make a fantastic "caste" for Spugs:

Forgot to mention the first time around, we need Comm Spugs in 15mm!

wminsing01 Jun 2009 9:55 a.m. PST

Just got my first order of Spugs in- they are absolutely fantastic looking little guys! I have enough for a platoon (or the Spug equivalent) but I'm already considering a 2nd platoon. My most 'urgent' requests are comm spugs and Theta drones, along with crew for the heavy weapon. After that I'd love to see the heavy and jump spugs, plus whatever else you're cooking up. ;)

Brutorz Bill07 Jun 2009 8:19 a.m. PST

Sign me up for some more 15mm unarmored Spugs as well!!!
I've got a ton of 28mm, but I'm getting more and more into 15mm these days.

Cacique Caribe07 Jun 2009 10:42 a.m. PST

"Sign me up for some more 15mm unarmored Spugs as well!!!"

There you go!

Cacique Caribe07 Jun 2009 10:46 p.m. PST

Could these work as drones for 15mm Spugs???

Spacelord: "Also- I'm open to requests :)"

Any plans for additional light unarmored 15mm Spugs?

Thanks.

Stoss5515 Aug 2009 1:43 p.m. PST

i have to echo the few people in here requesting more 28mm stuff. not too much more, because it is a pretty complete range as is, but just a few more support weapons for the PA spugs and jump spugs and such. those heavy weapons and jetbikes from the 15mm range would be cool in 28mm too, but i can live without em. just the support weapons, please, and i'll be a happy camper :D

Cacique Caribe22 Aug 2009 12:49 p.m. PST

QUESTIONS:

I don't know how big these are but, do you think they could work as a fighter craft for 15mm Spugs?

link

And, could these play the part of Spug "pets" that, somehow, get loose?

CC

Cacique Caribe23 Aug 2009 7:55 p.m. PST

Is it just me, or do the guns in these look rather a lot like the "rifles" the Spugs have?

It would be interesting to see if they could be used as cannon for Spug infantry.

Do you guys think that GZG Crusties or Spriggan Spugs would benefit from having a beast of burden or two?

Any word yet on new 15mm Spugs?

Thanks.

Another vote and customer for 15mm Spugs! I want the whole army. Please do not forget the power armor, SpugNaught.
