Pulp in 15 mm?

[FifteensAway]

So, how many of you are doing Pulp type gaming in 15 mm? 

I know there isn't a specific Peter Pig range for Pulp but there are quite a few options to pull from the ranges to add to the more specific Pulp stuff out there, in particular cars and trucks from the WWI and WWII ranges, a few figures here and there, too.

I've gone whole hog with the Prohibition era gangsters and, as far too typical with me, bought way more than most people will do for a game.  Primary figures come from three separate ranges - not entirely compatible but I'm not really a purist, I'd rather focus on having fun with the figures than on obsessing whether they size up really well.  Though we know the Peter Pig ranges all size up quite nicely, don't we?

I've also bought in a much smaller number of cavemen and Paleolithic beasties - though nothing from Peter Pig; well, not yet.

Would the Peter Pig natives from the Pirate range do for Paleothic Humans ? Maybe the ladies from the odds and ends range too. The Vietnam Montagnards with spears might work too 😁

I'd purchase nearly anything imaginable related to 15mm pulp gaming... provided such was from 18th century times!
(sorry, I'm really fond of lace pulp)

Not likely to do it in 15s as my figures for inter-war are all 10s. Possibility that the BEF 1894 game might go down the Steampunk rabbit hole.

Myself I am either ACW or WW2 plus. Would play but someone else figures.

I have painted up pulp 15 mm stuff but not really played with them much. Here are a few examples of blue moon pulp stuff - hillbilly's vs cops etc. These were/are for Chicago way rules but I never really got to play them. To be honest terrain was the biggest issue.





oh and you need cops of course:



and bystanders:



I have more pictures etc on my Blog in the old shots: https://mellis1644.files.wordpress.com

We have played a few 'pulpy' games of 'en garde' with 15mm figs though. Lots of derring-do in 15mm. Again Blue moon stuff (not PP) so more like 18mm really but for a small scale, condensed space game that works well.







I have used ECW clubman bases of troops as civilian mobs and the army bases as overwhelming forces coming to close out fights from both side etc.

Same is true for most wild set games. I have toys for that in 15 and 28mm, but I guess that officially does not count as pulp at all.

Well, I hadn't thought of Three Musketeers as a Pulp game but I guess it could work.  Nice to see those Bluemoon figures painted - including the gangsters.  One day mine will be in that state, one day, Arkady, one day.

All of those figures look really nice.

You'll be giving Martin ideas for a new set of rules.

Maybe a gamette, at the very least...?
