Three Versions of The Controller


SHM22 The Controller is one of the most popular single figures in the SHM Range as part of its selection of 15mm science fiction miniatures.  Sculpted by Fjodin back in 2011 it has been featuring in collections ever since.  It depicts an alien overseer possessed of a mighty mind and a frail body. Overseeing the actions of his minion legions he is a foe not to be taken lightly. Perfect for the evil leader of an alien army.  You can see it HERE.

Two firm fans of 15mm science fiction sent their pictures of their own colour scheme for The Controller to us and this has allowed us to show our own and their take on just what can be done with this miniature.  I have seen other versions in yellow, in blue and in white so it is a figure that can be painted up in many different ways.   First our own studio painted version in pale and sickly pink. Then a version in green and silver (very fetching!) painted by Neal Key in the UK.  Lastly a deep pink and mottled version (very threatening!) painted by Ralph Plowman also in the UK.  Ralph has his own wargame blog which makes for fine reading HERE.







If you like to support the diversity that is growing in 15mm scale in science fiction then you should not overlook the SHM Range.  At 15mm.co.uk we are all about fostering wargamers talents and interests and to that end back in 2009 Gavin Syme (GBS) created the SHM idea.  'Self Help Miniatures' are designed by aspiring sculpters who in return for giving their creations to 15mm.co.uk get into the hobby and gain experience.  As a result a dozen designers (some of them working on their own right in the industry now) have submitted designs which made it to the SHM Range and this website.  If you are keen on seeing what it takes to get into this range then send us an email on sales@15mm.co.uk. Have a browse for unique miniatures that otherwise would likely not exist if it was not for SHM. 


Lastly the current month is nearing its end and that means that our current special offers will be ending on 1st October 2015.  Here is what we currently have on offer and if you want to get some of these with a saving for your wargame collection then now is the time.  We have 15% off all the pack codes in the Security Force Alpha (SFA) collection which is part of the HOF Range.  Go HERE.

HOT32 The Sphinx now re-mastered and on offer!


"Which creature has one voice and yet becomes 
four footed and two footed and then three footed?"

We are working our way through the hundred pack strong HOT 15mm Fantasy Range re-molding and re-mastering (and adding to but more on that next week, see HERE for a hint to what is coming) and this time we have completed work on one of the lesser known monsters in the range HOT32 The Sphinx.  Its now back on the website looking excellent and on offer too save 20% until end of the month.  See it HERE.  Above is a censored image since this monster is rather naughty for social media use once painted up however the normal images are below and on the website.


The Sphinx is a great monster to add to your collection.  Our one is based on the Greek Myths with the upper body of a woman, the wings of an eagle, lower feathered body of a lion and a serpent like barbed tail.  Chaotic by alignment but bound by the unbreakable rule that it must ask a riddle of its intended victim before devouring them if they answer incorrectly the Sphinx is a guardian for your temples of the dead or treasure crypts.


Above you can see HOT32 The Sphinx with a 15mm tall miniature from the FST02 TTF Human Skirmish Pack for scale.  Assembled the monster stands about 35mm tall and is supplied unpainted in three white metal pieces (body and two wings).  Assembly is required.

"There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, 
gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters?" 

No prizes for solving these two ancient riddles but at least if you are captured by the beast you will be safe.  If you have a hero..you need a Sphinx!

Sam Croes set of HOB1 15mm Human Starter Settlement Buildings


It gives me a frankly awesome amount of happiness to be able to show you all our own set of the fantastic 15mm Human Fantasy Buildings from our range painted by their designer Sam Croes.  Sam is our lead designer and while he sculpted the HOB1 Human Starter Settlement for 15mm.co.uk earlier this year it is only now that he has had time to paint up a set for our use.  In these images you can see the five buildings, which you can get in a set or as singles, three houses and two hovels great for any 15mm fantasy setting on our wargaming table.  Each image has a caption and the miniatures you can see are all from the FST03 MDA Human Skirmish Pack.  Enjoy!

Hovels on the edge of the river ford as a pack mule and knights wade across
The stone and slate houses of this small settlement welcome travellers
A wizard and cleric converse while they wait to cross the ford
A river runs through it.  A last outpost before the badlands begin
An adventurer considers appealing for hospitality at this small hovel
Nestled against the cliffs the chimneys of these houses will smoke at night
Barbarians and Mages wander between the buildings
We are working on a new 15mm fantasy mass battle rules system written by the very talented Mr Minadeo whom I have worked with on titles such as HOF Fire Team and this river crossing terrain set up is being used for internal play testing soon.  More on the rules once the time is right but for now I hope you have enjoyed looking at Sam Croes set of buildings as much as I have.


There are currently ten different buildings in the HOB range  (Human and Orc) and you can see all of them HERE.

Thanks for Reading.
