Title: Super Hero Figures
Post by: joroas on May 11, 2009, 12:46:19 PM
So, I can get the decent rules from West Wind, but, now I need some civilians to flesh out my heroclix figures.  Any ideas of near future civilians suitable for DC/Marvel and vehicles for Batman?

Superfigs does about 15 different unarmed modern civilians.  The minis vary from news crew to kids. 

Great minis,
Brian

Superfigs does 30 civilian minis in three packs of ten unique figs each. The quality varies a bit from mini to mini, but overall it's pretty decent, especially considering how inexpensive they are. I have a review with pics on my website if you're interested.

If you are using Clix for your heroes, remember that they are slightly bigger than most 28mm figs. They tend to be taller and slimmer in my experience.

With this in mind, have you had a look at Black Hat's small range of civillians? They are a bit taller than average and would stack up well alongside clickies. (I have civillian 5, the big black guy in the vest, and he's massive, although in the group photo he's not the tallest in the pack.)

That said, its no bad thing to have your heroes a bit bigger than average people is it? They're heroes!  lol

Maybe something from Copplestone's range would work: http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW

I picked up those civilians from Black Hat thinking I'd use them, but they are indeed gigantic.  I thought I'd ordered a 40mm version of the minis by mistake.   lol

Here they are in the raw lead compared to Copplestone and Artizan minis.

Yep sold all mine bar one to use as an angel (with addition of wings) they are lovely figures but as you said 40mm. Still they could work with the HLBS zombie figures

O scale figures for train sets look good and are sometime found cheap.
