Contemplating getting back into 15mm SF after most of a decade (!) of other
gaming, and I've decided I'm going to make my pre-terraformed Mars
background central. So no non-grav fliers, no hover vehicles, and
infantry pretty much have to be fully suited somehow to get along.

I've got a reinforced mech inf platoon of the older-model UNSC-H
hardsuits
+ grav IFVs & a grav MBT for support. I know the NI forces and UNSC-L
forces are in full suits, and obviously the various powered armour units are
fully sealed.

Which of the lighter forces are also in fully sealed armour, or at least
without too much visible skin or bare heads on the majority of the figures?

I'm especially interested in lower-tech forces that still look like
they're
suited up for a hostile atmosphere/enviroment; the UNSC & NI forces have
the high-tech side of things well covered.

Hi Brian,

Some people have done excellent Mars-style suited forces with our
figures in light-duty vacc suits - there is only one pack of ARMED
guys (SG15-V15), but the unarmed ones (V10, and especially the recent
V17 survey team) can be converted and/or used as command, comms and
weapons crew to supplement the V15 figs with their mix of SMG and rifle type
weapons.

They work very well as local militia forces wearing their regular
"civilian" vacc-suits but carrying weapons; they can be supplemented
by some of the V14 heavy EVA suit guys with weapons, to give you some troops
wearing heavier suits for extra protection.

Good to know, I'd missed the vacc suits in your 15mm range.

For fully-armoured infantry, there's the NSL, UNSC-L & -H and NI, and I
think that's it?

Of the regular infantry - NAC/ESU/etc/etc - which have, at minimum,
full-face helmets or similar, who could be painted up as if they were in
full environment suits?

I think the FSE have figs that have full facemasks on some of the figs.

If you need others I believe NSL, Japanese Corporate, Free Cal Tex are in the
main fully enclosed helmets.
