My Zerg

[freelancer]

Inspired my timvidlak's use of Starcraft boardgame models, I aquired a copy for models for my own Zerg army.
Here are my first 150pts ready for a trial game this weekend.

Good job on them can't wait to see the AAR of the game

Those are great! What scale are you using them as?

[freelancer]

They work for 15mm (it helps that they are non-humanoid). Most of the boardgame infantry work for 15mm, as even the marines and protoss zealots, which are just under 20mm high, and given that power armoured marines and protoss are 7-8ft tall, they still fit. Most of the vehicles and flyers are more 6mm scale so not really usable with the infantry if you are as @nal about scale as I am.

They work really well. I have a friend with that boardgame and we never play it after a terrible night 2 years ago where we all got fed up with the rules. I will have to have a talk about buying it for the models now!

Yes I started reading the rules and realised I'd never want to play it. It seems to try and re-create every aspect of the computer game, which seems a little pointless.

Very nice... might have to steal this idea!

I like your zerg. I am using most of the smaller models as self propelled robot guns or robot attack fighters (drones). I have 3 core boxes & 2 expansions of the fantacy flight board games of painted Zerg & 1 of the risk games with 1/2 of the Zerglings painted. I need to rebase all the Scourges & Zergling as they are on the original basing from the board game.
Glad to have inspird you to do your Starcraft forces.
