Looking for figure suggestions -
« on: September 16, 2016, 05:08:59 PM »
Grandson Callum and I are working on Project Z figures from Warlord Games.  We are new to the Zombie Genre and not familiar with suitable figures.  We have quite a few figures (survivor and zombies).

We are going to build a biker gang and have the figures from the boxed set and the Biker Gang expansion.  So we have enough bits to make 4 bikes with crews mounted and also dismounted equivalents for each except the gang boss and his companion.

We are looking for suitably similar figures to the riders so that our leader and companion may dismount.  So any suggestions?  Incidentally the weapon in the boot on the side of the bike looks like an MG3 (or MG42).

Not an exact match, but you could consider Copplestone's bikers:

Didn't think Wargames Factory figures could look so nice...

Alan, there´s that Not-Snake Plissken by Hasslefree:

The biker babe is pretty much subject to any scantily clad cheesecake female painted to match her, I guess...  ;)

Michi nailed the dude, the girl could be matched from the BadRoll Punkapocalyptic Gangers range:

Many thanks, The Hasslfree "Not Snake" looks a good substitute (Thanks Michi)

Looking in the lead mountain I found an unpainted Copplestone "Babe" which with some conversion (head swap and maybe a weapon change) might do.  Now to find a suitable head.

For dismounted bikers check em4 Miniatures Bikers (I am not sure but I think they are reselling old Grenadier miniatures):

for mounted Bikers maybe West Wind Road Kill minis:

I think I have one or two West Wind Bikers laying somewhere if you want I can try to find them and post some pics for you.

Many thanks for these.  I had not seen them before.

Unfortunately the Hassle free figure has been out of stock for a while so I think I'll need to buy another box of plastic bikers to get the figure done by Christmas.
