So for 15mm I am thinking Loud Ninja Games Ikwen or converted GW Skinks (I think they will be about the right height for 15mm), you can just slobber on liquid green stuff and paint it black. Followed by unformed balls of green stuff for the nanite? globs following them around… mix with zombies with wires coming out of their heads. |
