Here is another group of soldiers looking to survive an alien invasion, zombie breakout, or other end-of-the-world scenario.Their military superstructure may have been decimated, but these survivors still carry on the fight.
This trooper sports a special forces beret. He wears protective body armor and carries an assault rifle along with a holstered sidearm.
Here is our tough as nails
leader. True, he only holds a
semi-auto pistol and his outfit consists only of
fatigues. But the tough image he projects as he chews on his cigar gives a hint that he is more than ready to
kick some enemy butt!
He may be without his
body armor and is currently fighting in t-shirt, but the
submachine gun still makes this
soldier formidable.
And last, but certainly not least, our
female trooper is more than proficient with her
military assault rifle.
More
25 mm scale painted figures to populate the
ruins of civilization and throw at the
invaders! These
miniatures would not be out of place in
science fiction role-playing games such as
Twilight: 2000™ and
Traveller™ as well as many
near-future table top war games.

A touch of the Far East this time! Here we have three character figures from Feudal Japan.
First up, the samurai general. Resting on his kanabo war club, this samurai general pauses to consider the battlefield that spreads before him. He appears to be in deep contemplation prior to sending his warriors into battle.
Then there is this
female samurai (not historically accurate, but she fits with the more
fantasy element). And the
katana sword she’s holding should make an opponent show some respect.
Finally, here is a
classic ninja. His black uniform blending with the night, this
ninja warrior moves silently among the shadows. In his right hand he holds his
katana sword at the ready while he prepares to throw a
shuriken star with his left.
These
25 to 28 mm scale miniatures can make themselves right at home in any
Asian setting. In addition to standard
fantasy role-playing games such as
Dungeons & Dragons (remember
TSR’s Oriental Adventures?), these
game figures would be useful in
table top war games including
Clan War.

This six-man squad of modern soldiers is packing heat!
The
troops are outfitted with
CBR (
Chemical Biological Radiation)
Suits to protect them against the unseen terrors of a
modern battlefield.
They wear
full face respirator masks.
Armaments include a
semi-auto handgun,
Military Assault Rifles,
Sub Machine Guns, and a
Sniper Rifle.
The detail in these small
15 mm scale miniatures is very nice. Including the bases, they stand approximately 3/4 inches (20 mm) to the top of their heads. They would be right at home in a
modern firefight, a
post apocalyptic wasteland, or on a
zombie hunt!

Little, but tough! And none too friendly! That pretty well sums up these diminutive Goblin warriors.
Armed with nasty little
weapons. Clothed in a rag tag assortment of metal
armor,
leather bindings and scrounged cloth.
The members of this
war band are armed with
short swords,
halberds and a
bow.
Their visages reveal their general unfriendly nature. Many also adorn their clothing with the skeletal remains of small mammals.
These
25 mm scale miniature figures capture the
war-like demeanor of this
non-human race. They would make interesting
Gremlins as well as
Goblins. Certainly an unwelcome encounter in any
fantasy role-playing scenario or
war game.

Armed conflict moves across the stars! Who is tasked with maintaining peace among the human worlds? The Star Marines!
Here we have a 6-man
squad of
Earth Marines outfitted in
vac suits for action in the
airless voids of
deep space or on
planets in
non-friendly atmospheres.
These
troopers are armed with
energy rifles.
The
uniforms feature a
hard helmet,
life support back pack, and
soft skin vac suits.
These
15 mm scale science fiction war game figures stand approximately 3/4 inch tall (20 mm) from bottom of the base to top of the heads. The
miniatures have an outstanding amount of detail for a smaller scale.

The power of this barbarian warrior is obvious in his well-muscled body and the large two-handed broadsword that he wields.
He fights with minimal
armor which consists of small metal pieces on his shoulder and right knee. Perhaps the most striking feature is his large, antlered
helmet. The heavy
animal skin cape hints of his coming from a colder climate.
The
sword appears to be well made. The numerous
gems inset into the
sword and at the cape’s neck would indicate that this is no simple
fighter, but probably represents his
clan’s nobility.

This Elf warrior is obviously an accomplished fighter. He wields a longsword in his right hand as his main weapon. But he also holds a main-gauche (a dagger used for parrying attacks) in his left. The use of two edged weapons simultaneously is a testament to his agility.
He wears an ornate suit of
plate armor for protection. As with many
elves, there is a high level of refinement in his clothing, armor and weapons.
His stance also adds to the aura of competence. This
fantasy game miniature has lots of detail and captures the character’s persona quite well.
