Looking for a good base figure for Hawkmen...

[Mason]

I know that this sounds more like e fantasy or sci-fi topic but I am assuming that the knowledge base here would be more appropriate.

I am looking for some good base figures for Flash Gordon Hawkmen...



I have the wings sussed and am not worried about the head as that can be sculpted and cast up.
What I am trying to find is a range that may look similar to the bodies in the picture.
Gladiators, Greeks, something else.

In 28mm scale but 'Heroic 28' would not be bad.

Any suggestions?

Wargame factory orc? Or maybe victrix range

[Belgian]

First thought are the Wargames Foundry Sea People Warriors.

[Jagannath]

Might Victrix nude gauls be the best bet? - plastic (so easy to pose and convert) plus *very* scantily clad - you would have to sculpt the fur skirts though...

[Mason]

Thanks for the suggestions, chaps.
Much appreciated.
 

I think that I am going to opt for the nekkid Gauls as they could form the basis of of a hell of a lot of conversions.
Especially for my OGAM Celts when I get around to them.

 Sumerians foundry

Sumerians foundry   

Oh!
That is quite uncanny.
And very tempting as it would cut down the conversion work somewhat....hmmm.......

What happened to the Dick Garrison range?

[twrchtrwyth]

Can I ask how you have the wings sussed?

You don't need to do elaborate conversions.  These Hawkmen are now available from Cold War Miniatures http://www.cold-war.co.uk/princes-of-the-universe.html
If I didn't have a lot of the old Dick Garrison ones I'd use these.
All the best,
George.
