15mm Sci Fi - Alternative Armies Galactic Knights

 I had these guys kicking around for some time: Galactic Knights, from Alternative Armies.  The range consists of 4 poses.  They are comparable in size to older GZG figures and the quality was excellent, with little cleanup required.  

There are 4 poses in the range, making them suitable as squad leaders for good/evil trooper legions, and as characters in skirmish games.  Personally, they remind me of someone I might meet in the Rifts RPG.  

Alternative Armies Galactic Knights

To make things simple I went with a neutral color scheme:
  • Vallejo Model Color Ivory, washed with Sepia ink (I could have skipped the wash and used a MIG Product instead, which as their Neutral Wash or their Grey Filter for White).
  • Vallejo Model Color German Grey on the Cloak, Boots and Gloves, highlighted with Vallejo Dark Sea Green and Blue Grey Pale.
  • Swords painted in Contrast Warpstone Green, then highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Lime ,Yellow Green and Pale Sand.
  • Other bits and pieces picked out as needed (Vallejo Red, Scarlet, Orange, Gold and Leather Browns).
  • Ivory was then re-highlighted with Vallejo Ivory, Off White and White.
  • MIG Enamel Neutral Wash was used in some recessed areas and Reaper Master Series Brown Liner was used to black-line various areas.


They are interesting models that would work well as either Good or Evil Space Knights.
