"Recommendations? Project Olympica" Topic

I'm looking for some recommendations for 15mm sci-fi minis. I'm planning on gaming Project Olympica, one of the old micro games.

I've got the U.N. forces figured out – Rebel Minis Earth Force Marines and armored vehicles. I'm still looking for good minis to represent the "Webbies" the Martian forces (see the back cover illo of the game).

Any suggestions?

I posted about this last year, but I think I'm going to actually move forward with it now.

I would also consider RAFM's 15mm sci fi for the U.N. forces: link

They are armed spacemen, similar to the guys on the cover. GZG has some similar figures too.

Finally, Blue Moon Manufacturing has somre forthcoming figures that have a similar look:

As for the Webbies, that's a bit trickier, particularly because the picture doesn't show that much. You've got to decide how you want to represent that bowl helmet they are wearing--it could either as a featureless sphere for the guys' heads, or just use bearheaded figures.

Ahhh.. Yes I bought the game on your recomendation, but still have not played it yet.

Those GZG figs look good, but I wish the pics were closer up. Can't make out much detail.

I do believe you meant "bare-headed", though "bear headed" could be quite interesting too! ;-)

Thanks for the links!

Keep 'em comin'! Need Webbies!

GZG's UNSC light infantry might work too – they're wearing strangely-shaped bubble helmets and what could be combat pressure suits.

I did a version of this a couple years ago:
