Very pleased to release our first sci fi civilians for 15mm sci fi and NF gaming. There are two sets, an adult set and a dependent set.
Here are the prime age adults, male and female. Whilst here they are painted as civilian space-freighter crew they are equally suitable for a variety of other purposes. As can be seen, big late '70s hair made quite a comeback in the future! You can even game with one as an android if you prefer.
And here are the dependents, a tween-aged boy, a somewhat younger girl holding a doll's head (something girls in the future appear to be fond of carrying about), an elderly person with a cane and a very pregnant young woman. These help to further complicate matters for the side that needs to protect the noncombatants. Both are available now: link Next topic -- armed versions of the first set are being made quite soon, after the sculptor is finished making the Amphibians in battle dress, which leads to the question
what would you like to see those civvies armed with? Improvised flamers, the Exterminators' pulse rifle, civilian-type firearms
pointed sticks? The sculptor has one metal master of each so "all of the above" definitely doesn't work as an answer. In other words, if you had to arm each of the adult set with a weapon, what would you want it to be? Can't guarantee I can please everyone but am definitely open to suggestions. Thanks. |

Can anyone tell me what inspired the second set? The first set is simply awesome
Pistol, shotgun and hunting rifles seems good for civilians. |
khurasanminiatures | 03 Feb 2012 9:12 a.m. PST |
The second set is really just to broaden out the range of civilians, and provide civilians somewhat less capable of fending for themselves. They are not inspired by anything in particular. Well, maybe one of them is. ![wink wink](boards/icons/wink.gif) |

One of them is mostly inspired by "Aliens". Mostly. (Is that a doll's head??) Just a guess! All of them are cool and nice paint jobs too. Regards, TC. PS. I'd go with civilian-type weapons, so they'll work in modern/near-future gaming. I imagine they'd make good Zombie hunters, rioters etc. |

These help to further complicate matters for the side that needs to protect the noncombatants. Come on, let's be fair to the other side
they also provide a more interesting and varied diet. |

Nobody calls her Rebecca, except her brother. |
Eli Arndt | 03 Feb 2012 10:07 a.m. PST |
How did Carrot Top make it into the mix :) |
Angel Barracks | 03 Feb 2012 10:09 a.m. PST |
Which one is carrot top? Fat Leia? |
TheCount | 03 Feb 2012 10:17 a.m. PST |
Or is she pregnant? Might explain why she dyed her hair. She has a craving for Ewok burgers too. |
Martian Root Canal | 03 Feb 2012 10:24 a.m. PST |
Awesome stuff, Jon. Will definitely be ordering. For set three, think "Fifth Element." Just sayin' :) |
(I make fun of others) | 03 Feb 2012 10:24 a.m. PST |
Or is she pregnant? She may be pregnant, just a guess, as the OP says she is "very pregnant." Again, just guessing though. ![evil grin evil grin](boards/icons/evil_grin.gif) |

Very nice! A good variety of civilians (victims?)! As for the armed version of the adults, my suggestion would be basic firearms – pistol, shotgun – as BrotherSevej said. |
Stepman3 | 03 Feb 2012 10:37 a.m. PST |
Great figures, I'll be adding them to my order soon
|
GR C17 | 03 Feb 2012 10:48 a.m. PST |
Not sure why, but I could see having the "big haired" crewman in her undies! For completness sake. |
Farstar | 03 Feb 2012 11:01 a.m. PST |
Armed versions of the second set would be amusing, too. Supersoakers for the kids, an axe for the pregnant lady, and a conversion to sword cane for the senior. The Senior could also go well with a chubby Boy Scout and a dog
|
Sloppypainter | 03 Feb 2012 11:16 a.m. PST |
Nice sculpts and paint jobs. I'd like to see the first group armed with a pulse rifle, an improvised flamer (or 2) and one with a scanner/tricorder/sensor. All to back up (heh) the Exterminators against those nasty space demons. |
MrHarold ![Sponsoring Member of TMP Sponsoring Member of TMP](boards/icons/sponsor.gif) | 03 Feb 2012 11:58 a.m. PST |
Very nice! Ordered! I would like to see the civilians carry some pistols
maybe a slung rifle or two? |
TheCount | 03 Feb 2012 11:58 a.m. PST |
Porfirio, y'got me there. I was over-excited and didn't read all the blurb. Pregnant, doll's head, it's all there! Hanging head in shame. Regards, TC. |

The next set needs to be obese. |
Thornhammer | 03 Feb 2012 1:18 p.m. PST |
Hey, cool! The crew of the Pastrami, an M-class star freighter owned by the Mayfield-Houstonic corporation! Bet the big-haired one blows it up. |
RTJEBADIA | 03 Feb 2012 1:27 p.m. PST |
Oh, now that you're doing civillians, can I suggest PF as a great sculptor of character models? He could add in some higher tech civillians into the mix
. Would be cool to have different tech levels of civilians
. back water planets with low tech, central planets with high tech, and, of course, suited civilians for hostile environments. |
khurasanminiatures | 03 Feb 2012 1:39 p.m. PST |
If I make more civilians, it would be to mix with these, and PF's style is quite different. I'd use the same sculptor if I make more. PF is great and he's making something else for me right now. |
Wolfprophet | 03 Feb 2012 2:14 p.m. PST |
Damnit! Just ordered last night when the Control Battalions came out too

Really!?!?! How am I ever going to get an order out if you keep adding all this cool stuff daily! Now I've GOT to have these! Seriously, great work as always. I "heart" Chewks! |
bandit86 | 03 Feb 2012 11:14 p.m. PST |
That looks like Major Iceborg from the fifth element only pregnant |
AVAMANGO | 04 Feb 2012 3:55 a.m. PST |
The first set top row are all the characters from the USCSS Nostromo in the Alien film just missing the cat. ;)how cool is that
|
Martian Root Canal | 04 Feb 2012 11:50 a.m. PST |
@bandit86: that's what I thought too. Hence my comment. |
BlackWidowPilot ![Workbencher Fezian](boards/icons/workbencher.gif) | 04 Feb 2012 5:46 p.m. PST |
Hmmm
I seem to recall that there's also some infantry rifles available separately

RTJEBADIA | 04 Feb 2012 6:11 p.m. PST |
Oh we need a cat in 15mm. |
bandit86 | 07 Feb 2012 2:21 a.m. PST |
There also missing Cain but maybe they are thinking of doing a chest buster figure late (with jonesy the cat) |
AVAMANGO | 07 Feb 2012 8:21 a.m. PST |
One of these could be Cain with the face hugger already attached.
