Title: 28mm Post Apocalyptic miniature without guns
Post by: Sunjester on February 10, 2023, 05:09:24 PM

Any suggestions for 28mm post apocalyptic fighters with more "primitive" weapons, bows, crossbows, javelins etc?

Some of the classic copplestone Future Wars Savages from Grenadier/Em-4 were armed with melee weapons or bows
Fairly sure you could do something kitbashing of the the various frostgrave/ghost archipelago kits  to give you dudes in rags with crude melee weapons/repurposed tools as weapons

Crooked Dice has some repurposed figures with melee weapons.

And one of the originals.

Studio Miniatures has a not-Daryl, with crossbow.

Iirc, a fair number of Ramshackle Games figures are without firearms. Also their Nuclear Renaissance rules work very well for a post apoc setting where firearms are rare or absent.

Have a look at Studio Miniatures (https://www.studiominiatures.com) - they do loads of zombie post apoc figures, including quite a few "not" versions from The Walking Dead

A good example of my problem, about 175 products, only 1 bow. :(
Why is there this assumption with figure designers that gunsmiths and ammo factories will survive the apocalypse in huge numbers?

If you're happy with the conversion route, I converted a lot of the Foundry Street Violence figures more years ago than I care to admit.

Some pictures of a few of them in one of my old blog posts link (https://zemjw.blogspot.com/2012/01/modern-demon-hunters-1.html)

Looking back on them, they were all metal figures and I was carving out a lot of very fiddly stuff. I'm slightly surprised I still have all my fingers o_o

Take a look at The Assault Group. They have a line of street rioters and such. Also, Battle Valor Games has picked up the old Sgt. Major Miniatures line. For every one of their factions, they usually have a pack armed with firearms and one with melee weapons.

Sample pack from The Assault Group:

Battle Valor Games ebay store:

Talk about service! I orderd some of Athena Miniatures' apocalypse survivors on Saturday, they dropped through my letter box this morning. And very nice minis they are too!
Thanks, John. :D

Those Athena Survivors are the old Scavenge Skirmish and Survive line for a nuclear winter based pa game. LOVELY minis. Order in!

Hasslefree miniatures has a lot of cool options.  Some come with several options for arms, including baseball bats and stuff like that.
