I think I posted about this before, but I couldn't find the thread so I'm doing it again.

Anyway, I am working on the first two sets of Battlelords paper minis. One is all of the races from the main rulebook dressed in streetclothes, male and female (plus Nog in the case of Eridani, and two mazians in their case), and all of the NPC races from NML (male and female) dressed in street clothes as well. As I work on the art I am thinking about scale and their use. The images will all be proportional to each other so I'm thinking of using the 25mm miniature scale as a "standard." A human character's drawing would be about an inch and a quarter (3cm?) high. I think these will fit on standard 1" hex map mats.

Will that scale fit in well with our gaming environments?

We have loads of ideas for other sets including all of the races in the game both in and out of armor, creatures, corpses, and other stuff. The release date is uncertain as I my drawing time is limited due to the recent addition of a baby (future Battlelords player) to the family. They will be released as PDFs and will include a sheet of the drawings illustrated in color, a version with the drawings as line art so you can color them any way you want, and some blanks to draw on them yourself. Currently they will be three sided, with one side being blank to write the name of the character or notes on. First set of releases will fill out the rest of the PC races.

Does this sound interesting at all?

Thanks.

I had worked on some paper minis for myself.  I had copied the image of the racial size comparison from the Core Rulebook (gray scale).  Cropped each race, then rescaled them to ~25mm and printed a cutout front and back so it could folded into a standup with a base.  Needs a little weight to stay upright well, but works well and its cheap.

Mine are 2-sided tepees.

My group already knows what unarmored aliens look like... they usually look like they're taking a nap, while lying face down in the dirt and riddled with holes.

I'm not sure most people will have a printer big enough for the Suck-2-B-U. Maybe I'll just draw one foot and leave the rest to the imagination.

...and before you ask, yes, I have the height/length and weight of EVERY race (PC and NPC), HAL,  and vehicle in the books in a spreadsheet.  I need to know them ALL to make sure the size-class chart for the new Uncle Ernies was consistent.

Hey... i'm thorough.

Congrats on the baby!!

Yes the mini's would be most welcome.  I would want both the 2d and 3d sets myself .  I like the idea of having mini's for the vehicles as well, my groups often deal with shifting the size of the hexes in combat (when we use mini's which isn't too often only large fights with lots of people and cover) and having appropriate minis for vehicles would be awesome.

Yeah, if the vehicles were 3D boxes that you fold together (held in place by tabs) from cardstock print-outs that would be WICKED KEWL!!!
