15mm.Co.Uk releases Security Forces Alpha

by Chris

Big news from 15mm.Co.Uk this morning - Security Forces Alpha has been added to the HOF Science Fiction range.. While 15mm.Co.Uk has been a great place to go for figures that are "off the beaten path" like SHM aliens, Ion Age Retained Knights, and the HOF Cultists and Octopods - this is the first "basic" human infantry faction they have offered.

The figures themselves are stylistically matched to the HOF Human Medical Team released a little while back Here's the details on all the new packs:

Security Force Alpha - Now Released !!

All across the core star systems and on Terra itself there is a need for security after, during and even before the high rollers and expensive kit arrives in the battle zone. Security Force Alpha is just that force filling in as police, paramilitaries, mercenaries and planetary militias too. They are the faceless grunts that do the thankless jobs needed by all those who govern, control or enforce. Use them as you will from the near to the far future! 

The SFA range contains just under thirty different poses of 15mm white metal miniatures allowing a wargamer to assemble a cohesive force for their campaigns. A whole integrated range. Suitable for use in any 15mm scale science fiction or even modern or post-apocalyptic wargame system such as USEME or HOF Fire-Team.

Each pack contains ten 15mm white metal miniatures and is priced at 4.00GBP.

HOF99 SFA Shotgun Troopers

HOF100 SFA Support

This pack contains ten white metal human miniatures in a random mix of three infantry support poses. Security Force Alpha (SFA) infantry troopers armed with (from left to right) a guided missile launcher, a tri-barrel projectile weapon and a heavy laser. All are wearing impact armour with full helmets.

HOF101 SFA Anti Armour

This pack contains ten white metal human miniatures in a random mix of three anti-armour poses. Security Force Alpha (SFA) infantry troopers armed with (from left to right) a one shot anti-armour launcher, a fusion melter gun and explosive charge bearer. All are wearing impact armour with full helmets.

HOF102 SFA Riot Team

This pack contains ten white metal human miniatures in a random mix of three different riot team poses. Security Force Alpha (SFA) troopers armed with shock sticks and shields; wearing impact armour with full helmets. Useful for keeping the peace when lethal force is not an option.

This looks like it's going to be a very fun assortment of figures. And it has some unique touches - there aren't many lines that have packs of shotgun troopers or shield-and-stick riot teams available. I look forward to getting my hands on a small force of these troops.

And don't forget - the 15% off sale is still running.

In related news, 15mm.Co.Uk has announced the retirement of the HOF-Fire Team Dropship Horizon bundle pack (which contained two free packs of Zidhe figures). If you didn't get a chance to take advantage of that deal (or you would like to grab a second set), a brand new offer will be made available to Dropship readers next week. Stay tuned.

The Medics Get A New Ride

Last night I showed you my shiny new HOF Combat Medic team from 15mm.Co.Uk. But how can I get these great new Medics to where they are needed most? There are plenty of great 15mm personnel and cargo movers that could serve in the role of battlefield ambulance... Zac suggested GZG Hover Trucks in last night's comments, but I had already selected my vehicle. Here's the Ravenstar Studios Jackal - Ambulance Variant.

Review - HOF Combat Medics from 15mm.Co.Uk

If you ordered science fiction minis from 15mm.Co.Uk in the past few weeks, you probably noticed a little Christmas gift in your shipment. I received mine last week (along with the Star Vikings and a few other items, but more about them later). For those of you who weren't able to take advantage of the free special - they will soon be available in the HOF Humanity range. And they are definitely worth adding to your collection.
