I didn't convert anything, rather, I was the one who was converted. I'd never had the opportunity to use 15mm miniatures, and decided to take the plunge – 10mm is a bit too small, delicate, and difficult to find for my liking. I reinvested some of my Shapeways earnings into miniatures. These guys are meant to represent a "pink team", with a fireteam of aero riflemen, sniper team, anti-materiel rifle team, JTAC, and a local guide or lawman, for the Redoubt universe.

Close-up of figures. I'm very pleased with how they turned out; washes and drybrushing makes simple paint jobs look great at this scale!
Group shot. All figures are from Rebel Minis; the troops are from their Special Forces pack, the sniper and anti-materiel rifle teams are from the modern US sniper pack, and the lawman in the middle is from the Modern US Marshals pack.
I had debated painting camouflage patterns, but wasn't sure how well it would show up in 15mm. I grabbed one of my Multicam uniform blouses, took a look at it from across the apartment, and decided that heavy olive drab wash over khaki, with a beige drybrush over top, would do the trick. Fortunately, it did.
