Picnic in the Woods?

 These are 3D printed minis I got from an Etsy seller. I mounted them on 25mm plastic slotta-bases. Most of them are about as tall as GW or Foundry halflings or dwarves or others of that ilk. Just be careful if you down to the woods today. These aren't your star father's forest moon teddy bears.

(the one on the left, with the big gun with a hose leading to tanks on his back - in my mind I'm thinking of that as a supersoaker, loaded up with water. It can knock back enemies, put out fires, and take out enemies that use fire.)

(the medic in the middle carries a sewing machine on his back; to patch up wounded teddy bears)

Alien Beasts

 A couple of sci-fi beasts - resin prints that I got from etsy sellers, to add to sci-fi settings and skirmishes.

The first one is a loaded up pack animal. Human figure from Reaper for scale.

And an alien "rhino". Somewhat larger than the packbeast. Seen here ready for Halloween (or lunch).

Old School Sci-Fi Minis

 Recently I bought a few old metal miniatures secondhand. I wanted to add more non-human types for potential use in sci-fi skirmish games or RPGs. I think these were originally made by some company in Nottingham, UK, but this post and the photos in it are not sponsored or endorsed or vetted by them.

I painted the space elves in a similar color scheme to a lot of my fantasy wood elves.

 For the ogre, I was mostly thinking about the movie, Predator. Here are a few angles of the same mini.

And for this last figure my main inspiration was parakeets, so I'm going to say they are known as budgies in my universe (or maybe called "Kreet" in their own language?). If I ever do another one I might paint it yellow.

More Diehard Law Enforcement and Others

 I think all of these had separate heads, and some had separate hands. I pinned the hands to make the bond more secure. For the heads, the set of minis came with various heads that could go on different minis, so you could mix them around to suit. I also found/scavenged a few heads from other places, some loose heads from some other minis that came with separate heads (I think some came from Hasslefree Minis, from a set with heads to spare), and some heads I clipped off of other minis.

There are a few more law enforcement figures of various types.

(two angles of this space cowboy since it was hard to get a good shot of him without shadows)

And a group I painted mostly in reds, as a possible crew or team of some sort.

Law and Disorder

 Some more fun miniatures from Diehard Miniatures.

First we have a space ogre (basically a walking tank, in heavy armor, so that's how I painted him) and a space orc.

Various law enforcement figures for all of your space western needs, your cyberpunk/space noir, space heists, sci-fi mystery scenarios, etc.

And the marshal with his 2 canine companions/helpers. Relentless hunters/trackers? Or sweet good doggies? I guess it might depend on who you ask.

More Gray, same shades

 These are the rest of the Diehard Miniatures troopers of this type.

"Hi Mom! I opened my faceplate. Can you see my face?"

Striking some heroic poses.

And now, a group photo of the full troop.

On to some other Diehard Miniatures next.

Painting with Gray

 Assorted troopers from Diehard miniatures by Tim Prow. I'm not totally convinced about the gray color scheme, but it was fairly easy to do, and looks different from other sci-fi armored troops I have. I'm also unsure about leaving the faceplates black or making them some other color.

"I thought we were getting white armor?"
"HQ tried it out and said it was too fiddly and hard to get it clean"
(here is a test figure; I think it did look kind of cool, but, yeah, it was hard to paint in some areas and I didn't want to do bunch of minis this way. I had started on a few more and ended up stripping the paint off of them part way through.)

So I tried the grays.
"These dark gray uniforms look kind of sinister don't they?"
"Does this mean we're the baddies?"
(I guess it might depend on the game/scenario? Or how I use the minis? Or if I put some color on the faceplates; like if I made them red, that might look more sinister? What about a green or a blue or something?)
