Syntha Spotted!

Hi!

After all the 28mm stuff I've been working on lately I figured it would be nice to take a bit of a look in my 15mm scale collection to see if I had anything interesting to paint!

This resulted in me painting up a Syntha investigation team:

Codename: Omega Epsilon 

I had a couple of Alternative Armies figures as well as two GZG high tech chaps (I've no idea where the rest of them have vanished to!) and combined with a repainted Hotwheels, they look pretty good as a small recon squad dispatched on unknowable missions by their megacorporate masters.

I'm quite pleased with how they all turned out to be honest and their ride was really satisfying to paint too!

Syntha ATV

Although it's pretty sleek, it does look like it could manage the rough terrain of a frontier settlement and armed with a pair of heavy pulse rifles, it's going to add a bit of a punch to corporate negotiations.

That's not all though! Buoyed by this vehicle painting malarky, I painted a light tank for my Imperial forces to trundle about in:

 Mongoose Light Tank

Lightly armoured and with only a heavy Bolter as armament, the Mongoose is nonetheless a workhorse of the Imperial frontier. It is cheap to manufacture, maintain and will run pretty much anywhere. This example is one of the Praetorian 2nd Armoured Cavalry that has been sent to bolster the Governor General's forces on Farpoint.
 

Scale Shot

With a two man crew it's very small and is originally a Matilda I Light Tank that I picked up from Hobbycraft for £4.00. I actually have another pair to work on next and look forward to seeing how they cope in battle. I replaced the rather tiny machinegun with a heavy bolter and painted on a few sci-fi gubbins to try and make it a bit less WW2. I decided to base it on a Warbases Pill Base that I picked up a couple of years ago as without the base, infantry towered over it a bit!

Hopefully I'll get chance to work on some more 15mm stuff soon but till next time, All the best!
