I’ve been trying to shake my latest bout of Tiny Miniature Madness, but it’s just not happening. On top of my Freakishly Small Fantasy Fever and Marvel Micro-Mini Mayhem, I’ve developed a horrible case of Spaaaaaace Maaaaaaadness. Yes, it’s time for tiny little spacemans.
Dammit. REALLY TINY SPACEMANS. These first two figs are (I think) from Khurasan Miniatures, and I really dig them a lot. I wish I had put them on smaller washers in hindsight, but live and learn, I guess.
15mm is great because there’s still a bunch of detail, but they take up a lot less space. This also means that a game of Stargrave or Five Parsecs from Home can be played on a 1′ x 1′ or 2′ x 2′ board pretty easily, and the terrain is pretty easy to make. Hell, it’s even pretty inexpensive to have printed if you don’t have your own printer!
The two figures on the right are scaled-down STL files I had printed up, but they are really fragile compared to the pewter figs on the left. I’m not sure if I’ll have more printed up, or just keep plowing on with the pewter minis. At about a buck a pop, it’s hard to justify the hassle of scaling the larger figures down and dealing with the resin!
This doesn’t mean I’m done with larger scale skirmish games by any means, though! I’ve been experimenting with Infinity miniatures for my other space games, and that’s just too cool a site to just walk away from!
