An alternative civil war but some of the figures would work in 1895.

Forge world lurking and I noticed these guys. If you picked and chose you could put together a decent list of techno freaks. I never were considering that I will never have that kinda of money.

All kinds of weird stuff and mildly disturbing stuff. It is UK based and I haven't the foggiest how to order but good stuff for people whos VSF has a slightly creepy bend.

Not sure the quality but an interesting site with some decent German storm-trooper that would fit VSF and the Turks look great for Syfy dude.

I like some of the weird aspects of these but I'd like to see how the minis scale with other companies ACW & Old West.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Or just other 28mm figs.

The ACW Kickstarter "Natives" Faction looks promising if using it for the IHMN Apache Company: although they look more generically "Plains Indian" rather than Apache, they have the advantage of not being armed with firearms. Plus the Living Totem and Brother Bear would make good Demons/Lesser Demons. I'm interested.

There are some other useful minis there as well for add-ons: Coil Projector, Electromagnetic Barrager, MASS m1861, etc.

If you're able to create an entire Company from the ACW figures, their scale is less important than if you're mixing different manufacturers' figures within the same Company, as we so often have to do.

Plus the Henry's House is a sweet piece of work, if a little pricey.

"... Almost every model from Spain and Natives still need to be sculpted.

Albeit miniatures will be produced on different dates we will ship only when they all are ready, so expect all your deliveries at the same time..."

Sorry but I need better assurances then this (plus some more personally appealing figures) before I can commit.  Nice but not nice enough for me.

Gracias,

I am not supporting the kickstarter to be honest I will wait for the finished product.

I own a considerable number of the England Invaded figures. They are a little closer to chunky 25mm figures (bigger than old Ral Partha historicals, but not as big as Reaper or Artizan). They paint up nice. I have used them for IHMN.

Monolith's Graven Images figures, particularly their Disturbia and associated ranges are superb, however they are 40mm scale (Great for taking on Yetis!) and Monolith no longer stocks them as far as I know.

They are being re-released in the UK together with some new sculpts by Hoka Hey Wargaming.

I'm assuming Monolith are still unreachable as their site is basically the same as it has been for the last several years?
