Title: Please Advise: Looking for some Nigerian/African Gang/Militia figures.
Post by: Bako on 04 December 2010, 07:22:41 AM
Hello All!

I'm not too familiar with really any modern lines and am in search of some ruffians with Kalashnikovs (and anything else that goes boom, really) for a future project. If there is gang-type figures that would be great as they would convey a less-organized look than an actual militia would, which is what I am aiming for. If you can help I would best prefer figures that are compatible with EM-4/Copplestone-sized figures, though size difference isn't too major a thing for me.

I'm just looking to bulk out the numbers a little for skirmish-level stuff.

(I am well aware of the Thugz line EM-4 has, and was only after one of the figures)

TAG's African militia (http://www.theassaultgroup.com/store/home.php?cat=45) are ideal for gangers, near future and low tech sci fi.

IIRC pretty good match for Copplestone/EM4 in terms of size.

Obelisk and East Riding Miniatures also do modern gangbangers (like the Thugz)

MoFo (part of the gripping beast range) has a couple of packs of African irregualrs/militia which might be worth a look as some are in vests and other 'ganger glamour' style clothes. Might be a bit on the slighter side compared to some of the other figures suggested though...
