"Looking for suggestions for 15mm starship crews" Topic

I'm look for ship crewmen for Silent fury they have 4 crew types; crew, engineers, marines and battle armor. Any suggestions for the various types?

Crew: 15mm.co.uk Laserburn crew/officers

Mechanics could just be the same guys with a different division uniform color.

The other two… there are hundreds of options.

These may work for some of the crew

Check them out here. link

From Khurasan Miniatures

Oh, it's 15mm sci-fi types you're looking for? May I offer you one-stop shopping:

You can see them all and much more here:

Hope this helps!

Don't forget GZG for guys in spacesuits (good for those hull breaches)

I can never find those Khurasan spacesuit guys when I want to. Where are they exactly?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, if you mean the bottom pic in Leland's post, then you want TTC-2703 "15mm Federal Defence Force Exterminator Squad in Extreme Environment Suits (x9: sergeant, two SAW gunners and six rifles)".

Other crew:

Also from GZG, for Redshirt-type security, I use:

For Marines, these older style UNSC marines link are my 'go-to' figures for that Traveller look, though these new NAC Power-armoured guys link would do nicely for Honor Harrington-verse marine types.

GZG's got an excellent range of civilians, many of whom can double as starship crewmen, and their spacesuited infantry are top-notch too – both heavy and light EVA suits in multiple poses, armed and unarmed, including suits with toolkits and (most recently) survey gear – and that's before you consider the UNSC light infantry with their advanced spacesuit-style armor or the various power armor suits for marines. The newest NAC power armor even come with seperate Mobile Infantry-style jump packs, which could probably be grafted to other figs as EVA thruster packs with minimal work.

Civilians are a bit long in the tooth though, they look like hobbits.

Here's some of my GZG civilian crew/techs:

I think the pics give a better indication of the minis than you will find on the GZG site.

More GZG stuff on my blog, 15mmPlease, if you're interested.

Splintered Light has both armed and unarmed Scifi space crew: link

Considering how BAD GZG's images are, I'd have to say almost anything would. I know he has higher res shots… they were on the old shop!

Though I got one question for you…

Why's Zoe white?

The pack comes with two versions of Mal, Jayne, and Zoe. I painted one Zoe white, the other brown. Variety is the spice of life after all.

I did just realize I don't have decent pics of all the not Firefly crew up. I'll have to get those up soon.

I'm not familiar with Silent Fury.

About the only proper spaceship crew figures I can think of are the not-Trek figures someone has done.

They are all in a consistent uniform, and optional heads and weapons are available to permit you to do other races than humans, in a number of poses.

Actually though, these are all more "Away Team" figs, and not really ones suitable for manning a vessel, unless there is a firefight on board.

I've been trying to convince manufacturers to produce figs in standing, sitting, and combat poses, in ship uniforms for years, with no success. Seems to me, there would be a lot of demand for a proper starship/shuttle crews, in uniform, operating and vessel, defending it from boarders, and/or with troops for conducting boarding actions as well.
They would be very useful for major battles, space pirate games, hijackings, escort missions, etc.

As mentioned above though, there are the figs you can use for irregular, space traders, mercenaries, soldiers, etc., but not much in the way of selection for proper, starship crews.
