These are beyond amazing. Spending the equal of $50 and having a ton of great looking littler than normal dudes that look great. Now the only thing I can't imagine is adapting these guys to my favorite tabletop strategy boardgame.... Does anyone have any initial ideas?

You've presumably not heard of Epic, then?

there's also some rule (old now) for "pocket 40k".

haven't done a whole lot of research for this but it was a thing.  basically 6mm scale models played with standard 40k rules.

google should get you there, but this one's a good starter...

Little announcement from Vanguard Miniatures:

Design work finished on the first of a new faction for Defeat in Detail. This faction will be called "The Tainted" and will consist of renegade and traitor forces from existing DiD ranges.

 

First up will be these tainted novan regulars which will see release in a few months time.

I'm sorry, I must have been looking in the wrong category? There appear to be multiple sellers on this site and some of them are way over-priced by the actual DiD miniatures seem much more reasonable.

@utilityzero: which site do you mean? Which sellers, you mean like other parties selling DiD miniatures?

 

Gregster's Lab and Onslaught are rather pricey compared to the items you showcase in this thread, but I didn't realize they were like separate from the actual DiD selection when I was searching through the whole store.

I don't want to start everyone begging and wish-listing again, but can you share with us any info or what exactly you will be producing in 15mm... as I could really see myself using 15mm models to do a 30k or 40k version of Flames of War, it's something I've been thinking about forever, but I don't want to buy a bunch of infantry to find that's all you're ever going to make.

Vanguard is part of a community that hubs out of TacComms. You're likely to get more response lobbying over there.

Eddie is correct here. :smile.:

 

But you can share your ideas here as well, I can pass them on to John (the guy running Vanguard Miniatures) for you. :smile.:

 

In the meantime, to give you a sense of scale regarding the 15mm models, here they are next to some FoW models:

And here they are all next to one another:

Sorry. Like I said, I'm not trying to influence him one way or another. Just asking what else will be made in that scale.

 

They are an excellent match in size though.

Well there are more plans to expand Vanguard Miniatures' (or VGM for short) 15mm range. The Skinnerz have just gotten a new unit.

 

We are thinking about doing a 15mm version of the Centurion Main Battle Tank, but I can't give you an ETA on that one.

 

What units would you like to see?

Thanks for the likes guys, hopefully that'll translate in some orders which will allow Vanguard to expand their 28mm range.

 

Also, to give you a sense of scale. Here's a Tainted Regular next to a Tech Marine:

Another joint effort by Vanguard Miniatures and Troublemaker Games is coming out soon:

Handy for those who don't want to use round bases for their 6mm miniatures of space ship game scaled ordnance models.
