The Shape of Things to Come

When I can fit the stuff in between commissions, here are the ranges I have planned for Silurian Games. A fair number, admittedly, and goodness alone knows how long it’ll take for me to get to them to be honest. But I will, I will! 🙂

My top priority is something very unoriginal to be sure. WWII in 1/72 scale. Yep, there are tons of ranges out there, but this scale, and this period is my first wargaming love. The details and history fascinate me, and more than anything this is what I’d like to sculpt for myself. Commercially viable? Haha, probably not given all the great stuff out there, but that’s ok!

What I do plan to do is make it precisely 1/72 scale, so they’ll go with all the plastic kits out there (and by ‘out there’ I mean, of course, in my own huge stash!) I’ll also start with some slightly less well known theatres, I’m thinking Iraq, Syria, Ethiopia at the moment.

I’ve made a start in the form of a generic dolly, so that I can sculpt some weapons and equipment accurately and to scale to get cast up first. Here it is (um, ok not terribly exciting):

Other things planned are all in 15mm scale, and include:

Colonial/darkest Africa

Dinosaurs (that would also fit in with the above. A ‘lost world’ kind of thing)

Retro, 50’s and 60’s sci-fi range

English Civil War

War of 1812 (I’m debating whether to do this in 28mm as it lends itself nicely to skirmishing)

One thought on “The Shape of Things to Come

  1. Sounds good – the world needs more 1/72 miniatures! I’d love a Retro, 50′s and 60′s sci-fi range in 1/72, even a few Superheroes…it’s definitely a scale that needs some more non-historical miniatures!
