If only there were 15mm droids that looked more like the 7-ft tall, menacing, not-man-in-suit ones in the new BSG series:

QUESTION:

Do any of you know if anyone plans to produce something similar ("inspired by") for 15mm gaming?

Thanks,

Dan

I thought Pole Bitwy previewed some really nice ones awhile back… whatever came of those?

Would love to see something like the new Cylons released.

Some Colonials to oppose them would be useful too, but there are probably a lot more stand-ins for those than the Cylons.

This is as close as I have found.

Clone wars risk.

Wow. How tall are they?

I had never gone on eBid before (only done eBay until now), but I went ahead and signed up and got these 40 Black Risk Super Battle Droids:

Here are some completed Astro Miniatures Sybots with a GZG Marine to give you an idea of scale

I'd second the use of Critical Mass Games – Praesentia RAL Phase Shifters.

Those look quite similar to the B1 Battle Droid from Star Wars, rather than like the Cylons.

Porfirio,

Do you mean the CMG ones? If so I agree.

But the choices in metal are still very thin.

Yes, the blowdryer heads.

"Yes, the blowdryer heads."

LOL. They seem to have the same type heads as the Khurasan "mekanoid grenadiers"!

The original heads were a little better, I think. Less block-like.

Original concept:
