Heh, 20 some odd years ago it came down to the number of character figures available. With a fair number of the 15mm Citadel/RAFM Traveller license figs kicking around Ebay and all the Laserburn, Asgaurd and the like in limited production, I got a start.

GZGs UNSC hardsuits are imperial marines in both 25mm and 15mm.

Oh and I got a deal all 5 boxes of the Citadel/RAFM 15mm Traveller, it worked out to $5 box including shipping from the UK.

From there calling the various manufacturers bugging them about 15mm ST figures, soon we had new character figures from multiple sources.

But to be honest if there had been more characters in 25mm I would have stayed there. Hint 25mm character figures fit on a 20mm base.

Besides do you know how many more 15mm vehicles there are in comparison to 25mm.

Though GZGs 25mm vehicles are still available from Demonscape ( I think)....

I'm just stating my reasons for 15mm. Working on 1/100th scale plans is also easy, as 5mm square or for paper is easily acquired.

That's the exact use I have for them.

Am sad that 25mm faded to 15mm when 15mm got good.... after I'd got 1200+ painted figures and about 60-80 vehicles built/painted. I just can't justify re-buying everything in 15mm.

I WISH those Garhel were in 25mm though. They are excellent, although I'm still trying to fathom what a Vargr helmet looks like.... a funny clear 'glass blown' shape? Or is is sort of like an Anubis head from Stargate? I could see that being okay with the Vargr....

If I was buying 15mm, those would be awesome.

I think it's quite possible GZG having moved to 15mm that there might be 15mm UNSC to use for Imperial Marines.

Also note Ground Zero Games 25mm UNSC hardships make good Imperial Marines, to match Denizen's 25mm Ventaurians....

Ventaurians

Now, they have yoda heads under their armour, so I just made sure to order individuals that had helmets on. I think I might have ordered one or two with helmets off with the plan to 're-head' them with human heads. I was thinking of building one with a turban (Zhodani Noble maybe?).

They are very close to old CT Alien Module 1 Zhodani Battle Dress.

These figs are 'true 25mm' so not 28mm, not epic 28mm, not 30mm, etc. Of course, scale is a always a challenge - some places reckon it from boot bottoms to top of head (or differently, top of hat) and some reckon it to eye level (for reasons I do not fathom). Anyway, they fit well with the 25mm figure lines from GZG. They would be very underscale to anything from Games Orcshop.
