"15mm Star Wars suggestions" Topic

I'm currently exploring the Star Wars miniature battles rules and am looking for suggestions for good stand ins for the various aliens and the like. In particular, wookies, imperial army, blaster cannons, Mon calamaris and other such creatures. Any suggestions?

Wargames Supply Dump has Chumbona Warriors that can work for Wookies, they are 20mm so that they would be taller. link

Then there is Highlanders Studios who has his Space Pals on his blog. link

As for other aliens most of the other miniatures site have good ranges of alien figures.

Micronpanzer has some Valkyur who could stand-in for those dudes in white.

Highlander also had the Kendo Masters & Student charity set to compliment the Space Pals.

Khurasan sometimes has the guys in white available for a very limited time – you have to watch for an announcement and then get your order in ASAP.

I already have the guys in white, it was more to do with the other races and armies. I have some Rebel look-a-likes, but wanted to expand the range with more!

The Highlander stuff is more like 20mm.

The little Action Fleet figs are about 18mm – 20mm tall (closer to the latter, I think), so worth checking out.

You can probably find Wookies. Mon Calamari are rarer, or non-existent, from that range, IIRC, but there are metal stand-ins for those, if you can stomach tentacle-headed creatures as an option.

Yeah, Micro Machine figs are a solid choice. If you pick up the Star Wars Risk game they come with lots of figs. I fight the Clone Wars in this scale. The Risk game has Clone Troopers and Super Battledroids. Many of the WOTC vehicles are a better fit with this scale.

My battles have a couple hundred infantry and 30+ vehicles for the Clone Wars. I have lots for the Imperial era. Just think the Clone Wars allow for larger battles.

Micro Machines has just released General Grevious and Obi Wan Kenobi along with a nice Rebel and Imperial Speeder bike.

Thanks,

John

Doesn't 15mm.uk have some squid faced aliens to stand in for the Quarren?

Blue Moon have some Greedo looking aliens. I use them as Space Horsefish to go with my Sharkmen and Lamprey army,

rebel makes some aliens that would pass for SW stuff

His 5th Element baddies might make for Gamorian troops

Yea, those were the ones I was thinking of, for Calamari.

I'm not sure if Black Hat still has these "Yeti" (and the tinier kin, the "Toleros"):

Also, Pendraken has a nice "Wampa" stand-in:

PS. You might get more suggestions if you asked the Editor to cross-post the topic to 15mm also.

The Black Hat Toleros are now with Brigade Models UK.
That Frost Troll from Pendraken is excellent.
They are like the Twanax from Blue Moon ( I always pictured them as Wampa )

He could go with these cold weather guys from TSS/QRF as Rebels on Cold Planets.

Modern US M16 advancing, arctic

15mm.co.uk have these which have been suggested before as Calamari
Aquafid Infantry
link
link
They also have these guys which could be moisture farmers from a planet with 2 suns and no girls.

Bounty Hunter? Bossk?

You could get all 4 in a pack.
and R2 type units (as well as WallE)

and Blockade runner crewmembers?

Eureka have a Space Princess

as well as Imperial Officers

Also the Khurasan Deathroids have 1 figure which could be used as an Imperial Probe droid last seen on a frozen planet.

terrific! There is a some great choices there, I shall start my purchases!! Thanks guys!

The Star Wars Command sets have AT-STs from Endor and AT-PDs from the Rebels are in the right scale too.

Revell have the snaptight kits of the TIE Advanced at 1/110, TIE fighter at 1/100 and TIE Intercepter at 1/90.
link

Also Highlander Studios on Shapeways had a landspeeder

And in the lines of a Space Princess, I thought the Khurasan Certain Fellows "aren't they a bit short to be Stormtroopers?"

Sorry I tried to add links before the site timed out.
This is the Star Wars Command Endor set with the AT-ATs we have in our army.
link
and the Rebels Jedi Duel set with the AT-PD we have.
The Desert escape set I've never seen before. I don't know how the Speeder scales out.
But the Highlander Studios Speeder from Shapeways is right on.
link

The Revell Star Wars Easykit Pocket Tie were the kits I was meaning.
link

Amazing stuff, thanks everyone, I will be ordering some of these for sure!

If your into the Clone Wars era I have 4x McDonalds Happy meal AT-TE's that are perfect for 15mm gaming. Below are two that I easily converted by adding the top mounted weapon barrel and smaller brass laser barrels. :) zac

I converted some 15mm Storm troopers

Heres some Characters

And made a list of proxies (not sure if all the links still work)

@Cacique Caribe – Black Hat no longer have the Yetis and Tolero, they've arrived with us (via Armies Army). They aren't on the website yet, but the moulds are all working and they're available if anyone wants them. Just email me – tony@brigademodels.co.uk.

Is it just me, or are others getting the message "You need to register/login to access this page" when trying to access Zac's link?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the great news.

I bought a few packs of both those sets back when Black Hat had them. I need to get back to painting because those are really going to be a lot of fun to do.

They are mighty fine figures and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Dan

Here you go Dave L sorry about that. Zac

I need Clone Troopers!!! Even if some one were just make the helmets would be nice one could just do head swaps!

I think one of your best bets is using the Retained knights from the Ion Age as Clone troopers I think that they would make a pretty good proxy. :) zac

These scale perfectly for 15mm

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I am now looking for a good 15mm General Veers look-a-likey, the guy on the right:

Any suggestions?
