Title: Prisoner, Ex-con, Inmate miniatures?
Post by: Bloodaxe on 02 December 2017, 07:49:30 AM
I'd like to have a band of escaped Inmates for a Zombie game.  Are there any around?  I can't seem to find any "orange jumpsuit" guys .  No scifi, just modern.  Humans, not aliens. Modern weapons, like guns, knives, etc.  Thanks.

One of the Mantic Dreadball teams are in boiler suits - they might work.

Crooked dice do minions with (FN) rifles:

And  M3 grease guns.

They have separate heads (the above use Westwind heads).

What about the Walking Dead All Out War Safety Behind Bars expansion. It has 4 characters in prison jumpsuits plus a zombie in chains and a jumpsuit and a zombie in riot gear.

Of course, the most famous (ex-)prisoner of them all, Riddick, is available as a "Not" version from Heresy, going by the name of "Ruddock".

I think these might be the models in question, but they are in late19th/early 20th century convict uniforms, not boiler suits:

There are some cons in boiler suits in Rebel Minis' Spinespur range (ex Comfy Chair):

You could try Victoria miniatures Penal Guard. I know they are designed for 40K but she sells the bits separately so you can buy the legs, bodies, heads and arms separately so you don't have to buy the las-guns and other more 40K bits.

 Im aware of those, but I didnt think there were any modern weapons available for them.  Im doing a modern game, not scifi. Thanks for the assist though.

 fair do's I guess it depends how much conversion work you want to do? to my eye in the close combat arms set the hand weapons would be fine for a modern setting

the las pistols are an issue but easily swapped out with something from say Hasslefree's range of modern weapons

also saw these on a thread further down

walking dead  - "safety behind bars" expansion? Not seen it in the flesh, just a thought . . ..

There are these guys from the Malifaux range:

(https://initiativetabletop.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/malifaux-convict-gunslinger.jpg?w=300)

Down as Malifaux Convict Gunslingers. I've seen them painted up in orange jumpsuits and they look quite cool.

Guns maybe a bit wild west looking though.

There are a few Heroclix that are cheap and in the right gear, with head and hand swaps they paint up quite nicely. Lex Luthor, Calendar Man and Mr Zsasz spring to mind.

They are Malifaux scale.

I have a set I am painting (slowly), I will find them and provide a scale photograph.

It was suggested that it might be possible to shorten the legs:

Knight Models has several in the Batman range.  They are a bit big though.  32mm or 35mm.  I forget which.

Yeah, just too big. Thanks though.
