Killer Plants and Survivors 15mm packs released!

“When the world ended it came in a way none of us foresaw. All that recycling, all the nature reclamation projects and all the efforts mankind made to save the jungles and forests from our predation; all turned to crap. The media, the damn media, they had us thinking the dead would walk. Pressure groups touting that the atom would poison the earth and fossil fuels would darken the sky. Hug a tree they said. Wrong. I used to be a web marketer...now I am something of a gardener. I wield the shears. How did it happen? I have no idea. All I know is that plants kill. Poison, acid and crushing vines. What is worse than that...they move too.” 

We are delighted to present three new packs released into the SHM 15mm range (Self Help Miniatures) by new designer Craig Armstrong. Killer Plants and Survivors and we think they are Triffic!

Wasteland Raiders, Rad Zombies and Road Wardens released by Loud Ninja Games

"The wastelands of the blasted future are a dangerous and crazy place where sanity and even life itself have been challenged and often destroyed by the powers that brought the world to its knees. These miniatures are designed to be used in any post-apocalyptic or science fiction setting where wasteland peoples and creatures have developed." 

 Loud Ninja Games headed up by designer Eli Arndt have released three new 15mm packs into the part of the range 'Wasteland and Mutants' on their page at 15mm.co.uk. They join not only the other packs in that part of the range but of course the Alien Encounters, Ikwen, Yandrassi and the Chuhuac with over thirty codes into total! Go HERE for the whole range and you can refine by search for only Wasteland packs if you wish. 

The three new packs are excellent for present day gangers, post apocalypse raiders, near future hunters and most anything else that needs weird and wonderful in 15mm scale. Highly detailed white metal miniatures sculpted by Eli Arndt. Here are the details. Go HERE. 

RAP030 Road Wardens 

This pack contains three different highly detailed 15mm scale white metal humans with pistols and a rifle all wearing light armour. Even in the wastes there are those who cannot abide evil. These brave men and women take up arms in the name of something more than simple survival and take to the roads dispensing justice. They are known by many titles but often go by a more classical, romantic title - Road Warden. All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases. 

RAP031 Rad Zombies 

This pack contains five different 15mm scale white metal radioactive zombies in various poses. Exposed bones, melting flesh and grinning skulls these are scary foes! In the wastelands and the ruins of the old world, there are those who have been so changed that even after death they continue to menace the living.

All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases. 

RAP032 Wasteland Raiders 

This pack contains nine different 15mm scale white humans in various poses. Crude weapons, scavenged firearms, punk style hair, rough clothing these are the guys that haunt the innocent in a nightmare future. In the shadow of the world before there are those who are so intent on survival that they leave behind all pretence of civility and community, choosing instead to make their fellow man their prey upon which they sustain themselves. Those who take to this life live as bandits, raiders, and much worse, banding together to use might to make their living as Wasteland Raiders. All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases. 

These new packs go excellently with the fearsome Terrorclopes and the helpful Wasteland Buddies as we as the not pictured here Mutants and Super Mutants in the range. RAP028 and RAP029 Sculpted by Eli Arndt and painted here by Sam Croes. Enjoy!

Here are links to the two packs on our website:

FST01 Modern Tents (Two in the Pack)

And a nice picture of them to show you what they look like all painted up by our studio.  Mr Harold tells us that he is painting his tents up as a research set in whites and greys with logos.  I look forward to seeing that.

Keep up the good work!
