Title: Alternative Cartel gang figures?
Post by: ulverston on 04 October 2020, 02:17:06 PM: Hi Chaps,
Does anyone know of alternative gang figures for Spectre? I keep popping to their site and they never seem to be in stock... does any other UK manufacturer make anything similar?
Having just binge watched Narcos and Sicario 1 and 2 I really "need" some figures to paint. There are only so many Barrios I can build without any inhabitants.
Thanks in advance.

Did Tiny Terrain do some?!
The Foundry Street Violence range may have a couple of useful models.

Elsewhere - Badger Games do the old Obelisk street gangs (male and female latinos)
Someone somewhere still does the Bobby Jackson Thugz range, although they are a bit Gangsta?

Thanks again.

I have some bikers I intend to use in a “Justified” inspired game and had great fun putting them together. Getting extra weapon sprues from other packs will be key if you buy the latino gang but want say M4s or AKs

Bravo 6 I had not seen the Brigade Games kickstarter! Wow they really hit the spot... I have never backed a kickstarter nor have I even read anything about them. I may just wait for them to be released... is it me or are the cast from the first Narcos in the Cartel packs LOL. They will be fun.

Yes I agree. Perfect figures. I'd never considered Narco gaming before, but have seen alot of good stuff in this genre on Prime lately, namely "ZeroZeroZero". Oh and I also blame James' thread here on LAF "Cartel a Go Go". lol

I sent an email to Lon at Brigade asking if and when this will happen, but so far no response.
