I don't do a lot of sci-fi gaming, and when I do, I tend to play 6mm. However, over the last couple of years, an increasingly the last few months, I have been working away at three forces for sci-fi skirmish games using 15mm figures. I haven't decided on a rule set yet, but Grimdark Future: Fire Fight seems to work very well so far.
The first faction is the Imperial Night Watch led by Capt. Pax Concordia. These are nominally a special forces unit for the European Empire (my main 6mm Horizon Wars faction), although there are other empires that I'm sure they'd fit in with... The bulk of the minis are from the Space Pals range (possibly OOP?) from Highlander Studios. The wee W.A.L.L.I.E. style droid is from Ground Zero Games.
These engineering space dwarves from the Nidavellir system are led by Sgt Grimm. They. Are. Absolutely. Class. Wee. Sculpts. These are 15mm versions of the Onslaught 6mm Grudds, both available in the UK via Vanguard Miniatures. They stand about 11mm to the eye, so they are noticeably shorter that human sized figures, but they are about twice as wide.
The last faction are a cell of smugglers who may or may not also be rebels led - either way - by a mystic space wizard with a laser sword. They come from a variety of sources and have little in the way of uniformity, so I ensured that each of them wears something sky blue to act as a force identifier.
Highlander Studios, Space Pals.
Ral Partha Europe, Critical Mass Mercenaries.
