For the longest time I’ve wanted to do a Starship Troopers inspired VSF project called Steamship Troopers. Initially I started out with 28mm bugs and Perry Sudan British. But the time it takes to paint and the scale of the conflict just kept it from happening.

 Now I’ve finally finished something that could be used for the project. The armies are made from Baccus 6mm miniatures (the Brits) and various toy figures for the bugs (Halloween ants came in handy here).

 I think it looks rather good to be honest!

 The lady bug especially came out nice. The humongous ant isn’t too bad either.
