Lead ID please! (15mm sci-fi)

[craigm999]

Hi,

Been digging through my old boxes of minis and found some stuff of my brothers that i'm struggling to ID.
I also picked up another one in a job lot of epic recently presumed to be a dreadnought by its owner.



they were mixed in with some 15/20mm pulp, judge dredd, travller, dark future and vietnam stuff.

damn camera seems to have focused on the paper rather than the mini, but that only adds to the challange

They are Laserburn Imperial Dreadnought Armour:

Awesome! cheers Chico.

Can't believe you can still buy them - sure my brother picked his up in 1988-ish!

Yeah with most of the Laserburn and Asgard ranges the rights and moulds were bought and re-released a fair few years ago by Gavin Syme the owner of 15mm.co.uk, Ion Age & Alternative Armies.

I love 15mm such a underrated scale

Sure is. If I had to start again from scratch, I would probably go 15mm for both sci-fi and fantasy. Holding me back now is the terrain I have made as much as the miniatures already painted.

That photo on 15mm.co.uk is terrible, though! I can't believe companies trying to sell miniatures these days can still showcase them so poorly. A cheap camera, unpainted model (with perhaps a black wash) and hitting the macro setting is enough. It's a shame, since I'm sure people overlook them, especially smaller scales like this. Even craigm999's self-confessed blurry photo makes me want to buy some

Yeah, the actual detail on these minis are great - much better than GW's epic stuff at the time! (if you compare this guy to their Robots/Dreads)
