Hey guys, new member, just got home from my local printer with a bound copy of Super System and had a quick go. I like the game and plan to take it to club and try it out seriously.
I already have a bunch of repainted and rebased clix and others for a 40K Ultimates/SHIELD army I was working on, but I've also picked up a few packets of Batman Clix to sucker DC fans into playing Super System.
Whilst working on the Joker I realised that most Batman villains work best with expendable labour. I have some Urban War civilians with pistols and Eureka do some Victorian goons that work well with Joker and Penguin. (http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_138&products_id=1774)
Does anyone know of a decent range of 28mm modern/near future thugs? Small arms or brickbats are fine.
Once I get some decent pictures, I'll throw them up.

Foundry has their street violence range on sale right now I think. Superfigs also have henchmen packs also.
-
Dixon Yakuza are pretty cool too:

Also boiler suited henchmen from both Artizan and Black Hat:

Clix had thugs and henchmen in older sets and one in the new Arkham set. They also had Hydra, AIM, Inter-Gang, Hand Ninja and Checkmate. Plus the alien stuff of Skrulls, Badoon, Kree, and Shiar.
Heresy has some suitable stuff. Especially the trench coat gangers.

Hasslefree might have some stuff as well.

Artizan's Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang Range has some henchmen.

Same with Copplestone. They also have gangsters.

Pulp Figures has gangsters and some pretty cool stuff in the Weird Menace range.

I would also suggest tracking sown Bobby Jackson's Thugz.

Thanks guys, looks like the credit card is getting a workout after next pay day.
I do have a couple of clix goons and ninjas, but the sculpts are exceedingly poor, the Skrulls and Martians I have will be used for something eventually, but don't fit the feel of what I'm doing now. I may grab a few SS troopers to hench against Cap.

I also forgot about Coppelstone's Future Wars. You may also want to check out Super Systems Henchmen sold at Old Glory 25s.
The Skrulls from Supernova were not too bad if you can find them.

I've updated the black hat listing with the missing picture which seems to have got lost somewhere...

Ide go for personally
Street Violence by Wargames Foundry
Copplestones Future Wars ide have look there some might take your fancy.
Or go for Dixon Minis Gangsters or Yakuza

The Westwind Gothic Horror line had some packs of criminals and sailors that make great looking henchmen. In terms of Ninja, the two packs of the Supersystem guys can't be beat. Some of the Henchmen packs are quite nicely sculpted.
