Hi guys

I am looking for some quality miniatures to use for my upcoming (and long overdue!) involvement in the world of Traveller. At present, 15mm or 25/28mm suggestions are welcomed because I'm not sure which way to go in terms of scale.

Many thanks in advance.

GZG, Khurasan, RAFM, Rebel Minis are all good sources in 15mm

RAFM has a lot of what amounts to the originals

As Saber6 said, RAFM sells original 15mm Traveller miniatures. I have those and GZGs and, although different sculpting style, they go together side by side.

There's Laser Burn in 15mm:

I think 15mm will get most support, primarily because the ship plans for larger ships are mostly in the scale.

If you are using 15mm I would suggest you look at the Ion Age Shia Khan figures link their Boetans can be used as Varg and their Legionaries work quite well as Zhodani.

You can still find the Grenadier and RAFM 25mm Traveller miniatures on eBay. These work well with the GZG minis, the former Iron Wind Metals sci-fi lines, Denizen minis, etc. Here is a link to my blog about these oldies, but goodies: link You can also find 25mm starship plans that came out for MegaTraveller.

Darkest Star has 15m figures that have a Traveller feel, including a Vargr-like race:

I'll put a bunch of the original 15mm Traveller miniatures up in the Marketplace, if you're interested. Gotta feed the kid and still find a way to pay February's rent.
