hello i thought we could use a suggestion thread
;)
-
i would like lead adventure miniatures to make a hazmat figure and
maybe somehttp://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Power_armour (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Power_armour) fallout ish powerarmour
-
As much as I love Fallout, the LAM miniatures have their own thing going on and power armour etc wouldn't fit in imo. Hazmat-ish figures are already present in the range, although with a Soviet feel. Some West-European types would probably work, largely because the gas-masks and weapons are noticeably different, but still in setting, if that makes sense?
There are plenty of Fallout-like (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=24228.0) figures already available and the LAM setting is something else entirely. I like what they're doing right now personally.
-
- Asian/Pacific Islander/African survivors – it seems as though only Caucasians will survive the apocalypse at the minute! (There are post-apoc African tribals from E.D.E.N., I'll grant).
- Spinning off from that: post-apoc Native Americans/First Nations – a combination of modern arms and equipment, alongside traditional armament and dress.
Less post-apoc (but useable therein):
- Not-John Woo characters – some of the iconic characters from John Woo films: Chow Yun Fat in the body army with pump shotgun (and baby?) from Hard Boiled, with twin Berettas, trenchcoat and suit from The Killer or A Better Tomorrow, maybe even Mad Dog from Hard Boiled (one-eyed hitman with AK).
- Not-Desperado characters – characters from the Mariachi trilogy
-
I would like to see the pirates range include a pack of female pirates, in similar style to the greens we have seen so far. Most female pirates available seem to do their clothes shopping at Fredericks of Hollywood...
-
At the moment I think it is not necessary to post ideas. They guys allways meet the kind of miniatures, I want to buy. Maybe in a year or so...
-
We're always interested in your suggestions.
Actually at the moment we're already commissioning sculpting of miniatures for the coming late summer and autumn releases.
-
How are we poor mortals supposed to keep up with such a frantic release schedule? I haven't even got started on what's already out yet. lol
-
Actually thinking on, I've always liked the idea of a 'Twilight 2000' type scenario, where isolated groups of the protagonists are forced to band together to survive against other similar groups. If we were talking a near future scenario the 'action' would be that bit further East. Again it would mean including some more Western European types to the already existing range, along with more civilian types. Plenty of present day vehicles from various sources about and it's pretty much along the lines of what's already available anyway.
-
any chance to make these chaps?

I buy this one!!!!

Professor, be very very glad you didn't have those two miniatures with you in hamburg!! I would've pestered you both days to have them cast for me there and then. Please let Ratnik know that these are beyond spectacular. The miniatures might be plain but their poses are so expressive. The man actually looks tired, he's nearly given up but he can't allow himself to do so. His step is firm but exhausted. The kid looks scared but weirdly hopeful, so forms a slight counterweight to the father's body language. Sorry to get all... Is melodramatic the right word?... but these are perfect miniatures. And god would the father make a great zombie survivor.

They're not Ratnik, they have been sculpted for us by Ernst Veingart.
-
Well tell Ernst then. :D (I thought I could see a change of style there). Very talented guy. I remember a statue of Alice in wonderland he has done, but I sure hope he will do more stuff for you.
-

Awesome!!! ;D
-
The man and boy look like they walked right out of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. They are fantastic!
-
i would want some weapon packs like ak 47-ak74u s
and a pack with snipers-crossbow s
and some pistols knifes and ammoboxes
-
a thing every post apoc game needs traders ;)
-

Agree.
-
I second post apocalyptic Native Americans with modern equipment. Maybe a compound bow to boot.
-

I'd third that, with the proviso that they included European wannabe Native Americans too. Domestic survivalist types and Militia would also be welcome in the same theme.
-
what about trader with ammo= one set
tech building a weapon from stuff=one pack and a medic + with some med stuff= one pack
-
single packs of post apoc stalkers and a pack of dead stalkers
-
revolvers, mausers, flintlock pistols with attached hands
female heads for conversion
-
mutant animals,dead people with ammo and gasmask canisters
guess what game i just finished :D
-
Street Judges/Road Guards with Riot Shields/Battons...
-
Japanese steampunk figures. Possible ideas:
officers in Boxer Rebellion uniform with steampunk hardware/weapons
civilian in late 19th century clothing (suit & derby hat) with steampunk hardware/weapons
manga style 'schoolgirl' with weapons and/or steamtech tools
-
Ooh - I definitely second the Japanese Steampunk suggestion!
Also, Steampunk Boxers (as in Peking, not pugilists!)
-
Steampunk scum and Whitechapel thugs.
Steampunk street urchins.
-
What about some steampunk veicles?
Like a coach or an old looking machine... I would love it.
Also post ap bikers. Good models are really difficult to find! :(
-
I'd like to see more Road Guard/Street Judge/Tunnel Cutthroat models without face masks. I love the way the masks are sculpted, but it would be cool to have some bareheaded guys (or girls) or models with helmets or hoods to add some variety.

need vsf swedes :D

and Dr.Falkenhayn: Street Judges/Road Guards with Riot Shields/Battons...
I am all for this idea. Get more use out of the common stalker/scavenger/ex-para military types. I really like the merchants and cant wait to get a hold of some of them.
And more along the lines of the Atomic Mob, but maybe not armed to represent the standard ever day guy or gal living in post apoc.
And I also like the idea of some with a native american feel to them to represent a more rural out in the sticks band of scavengers. they are less likely to find an abandon ware house or big rig truck abandon along side the road full of jeans and t-shirts then the urban mobs so have more bones and animal furs.
Also since lots of folks are trying for a "metro2033" thing, they would work great as the savages who lived in the side tunnels.
And as ever one keeps on saying maybe a group or to with a more central and western euro feel to them kind of like how with the steam punk range you have the british but are now making turkish and other groups.
-
Not sure if this is the right topic but here it goes anyway:
Can we get a witch hunter with his slavering war dogs, mad preachers and vigilant (and torch-bearing :D) mob of crazed lunatics in Breugelburg style?
-
The Big Lebowski characters. The Dude, Walter, Donny, Nihilists, the Stranger and Maude in a robe. And a team of valkyrians.
-
Hello.
I have received my first minis from "Lead Adventure": the "Ruin Raiders" pack, and they are wonderful models. I like them a lot, and, thinking they are ideal for a Metro2033/34 game, I would like to see some of the mutants and some of the civilians and lone hunters of the books.
Wonderful models (again).
-
I'm absolutly well served with these models, but one thing I miss is these shadowrun-like stuff like future shamans und psionics. And mutants...
-
Pirates, lots of pirates! Not to mention 15-17 century civilians of the more casual style.
-
What about post apo eskimoes ? :-*
The Big Lebowski characters. The Dude, Walter, Donny, Nihilists, the Stranger and Maude in a robe. And a team of valkyrians
;D +1 yes, yes, yes!
-

Or perhaps just parts to convert other vehicles/kits to a steampunk look?
Engine pieces, gears, pistons, valves etc. that just fit onto something easy to acquire such as a 1/35 kit?
Larger pieces might be better in resin though.

Hey, Professor, any news on the miniatures inspired by "The Road"? I am really looking forward to them.

they're off to moulder with some other nice stuff, we hope to able to release them till at least July.
-
I agree with the suggestion about some African or Asian figures. An apocalypse that just leaves white people alive just ain't worth surviving.....
Some modern African civilians, preferably generic West African types would be well appreciated for one of my current projects anyway.

from the beginning of our Post-Apoc range I'm thinking about kinda Desert extension for the range. Would love to do it. But first we still have a long to-do list for "European" apocalypse.

How about a Eurovison theme to the survivors then?. The world laid waste and the only survivors are the contestants and the audience safely sequestered in a hermetically sealed TV studio in Düsseldorf or Riga? Who better to survive a cataclysm? Anyone who can stand the torment of Eurovision must be a breed apart.
It would also reinforce the theme of a post apocalyptic wasteland, when you imagine the world music scene post apocalypse. :)
-
I think that will be too much for my brain :)

Oh wait a minute. not possible, they'd probably kill each other to get their song selected as national anthem lol

That with Western European counterparts. =>at least, all the weapons available in the Stalker Trilogy
-
Well, guys, we're working on the first weapon set already. Will take some time though.
-
YES!!!! :D
-
Some fellow brandishing a sporty composite bow fully pulled back while in a crouch, angling the bow slightly upwards for a distance shot. Not just a stalker with a bow, you've already done that. We need a hunter, a well-seasoned hunter with more well-off modern tools. A poached hare for the base or on his person would be a swell touch too.
-
Inspired by something I saw on PMT today how about a band of post-apoc cossacks? Ideally mounted and dismounted.
-
NEED : Clear resin version of the bloodsucker.
Like in STALKER... (remind me the script when you found a wounded guy in a dead end in a building, as you start talking to it, you heard the beast roaring in your back.... then.... if you saved the guy, he left the room towards the beast and was killed , giving you few seconds to kill the bloodsucker otherwise, you died both [him from non assistance, you from wet-pants-syndrom])
WOULD BE COOL : And Snorks (in snork poses = crouched).
IF YOU WIN THE LOTTERY : Maybe a set of markers (or gas masks with or w/o wood cross) to have "stash" markers.
-
i think he means one of these http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Snork (http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Snork)
and these http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Bloodsucker (http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Bloodsucker)

Thank you Raxxus for the links.... :-* :-*
hmmm, no, damn you. Now i want to play Stalker CoP (I have the first two) ! :'( :'( (my gaming PC is now gone for a year) :'( :'( :'(
*mad scientist voice* Whatever, I'll buy all the Stalker-like miniatures and recreate MY Zone, muahahhahahahahaha *scary lightnings in the background* lol lol lol lol
-
can we have this thread as a sticky?
-
....to represent the standard ever day guy or gal living in post apoc.
Yes please! Something like the Tunnel Cutthroats, Ruin Raiders, Zone Dogs, or Atomic Mob but sans gas masks and not as heavily armed. More like the Father and son duo that was shown earlier.

These people look pretty post apocalyptic to me
-
How about armed/feral children?

Some decent scifi cat people. With pose, sensuality and spirit.
Not extra large weapons. I think that extra large weapons are stupid. Solid scifi weapons yes - extra large no!
If someone wants I can draw a kitten... :)
-

I think this one has more characteristics of a post-apocalyptic gang leader. And you definitly don't want to fall into his hands. :o

Since post-apocalyptic is the main theme, how about some figures for Xenozoic Tales, aka Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, by comic book artist Mark Schultz? We can get the dinosaurs plenty of places, and maybe we can find old cars, but I can't find suitable figures for Jack Tenrec or his gorgeous friend Hannah Dundee. That's definately a post-apocalyptic setting, but with a pre-historic twist (obviously), and a bit of a throwback in styles to the 1950's and 1960's.

I was just reading the news on the discussion on Mao's legacy that is taking place in China at the moment and thought to myself: Why Neo-Soviets and no Neo-Maoists? The Chinese trader looked really cool and I'm sure Ratnik would do a great job on them.
-
Agreed! There's a nice drawing from a Shadowrun supplement that has a great-looking Neo-Maoist guerrilla (admittedly, he's an ork...) that I've always wanted to find a human equivalent for.

All of these are already available from elsewhere my friend (Blackcat for the robots, Westwind and others for WWW2). Remember that the range needs to compliment each other, as it's doing so well already. I've seen a number of great new ventures go off and sculpt everything, but with nothing really holding them together, they end up part ranges or pet projects and not really useable.
Ok back to the suggestions:
All girl post apoc gang, (but not hyper sexy in a overt sucker punch way) just 'bullet' hard but with a definate femininity.
Gunners, drivers and passengers: A pack of minis that you could use in say 1/43-1/50 scaled diecast cars, also the gunner option comes with a 30 or 50cal to mount on the back of a flatbed or technical.
Gaunts: really emacitated, S&M styled gang, (think Merv's gang in Matrix revolutions...Hey Merv...what's it gonna be?).
More corpses: just without weapons and gasmasks so could pass as civilians or dead zeds....
There you go a few ideas for the pot.

Yes please, and also some female corpses. these are all male (except maybe those with the torso ripped off ;)

About 18 months after first kicking the idea around, I'm still looking for a VSF female with a jezzail. Ideally, with a bowler hat and goggles, but anyway a sort of VSF Tankgirl with a long gun, usuable for VSF/Steampunk or Wild Wild West/Deadlands type settings.
I have a bunch of other VSF characters I'd like to find minis for, including an aeronef mechanic, a dashing but deadly sky-pirate captain, and a pair of French assassinatrices. Of course, I could go and buy other companies' minis for some of these but why give them the bisuness? Also, I really can't find the young lady with the long gun...

Hello guys,
I'm new here, and I'm a big fan of LAM minis and a player of STALKER video game.
So I bought somes minis, and I decided to create a diorama that will represend a section of the junkyard.
I have the human beings (and childs of the zones) but there is not creature like Flesh (http://soc.stalker-game.com/?page=flesh) or pig (or controller, chimera etc.. (http://soc.stalker-game.com/?page=monsters).)
May be a future release ? :)
I've make a flesh mini by my side, I will post some pics.
Sory for my english : I'm french :)
Edit : Here are the photos !

I'd like to see 'cute aliens'...like Skizz or E.T. Things that larger, meaner aliens could eat...

And maybe some PA guys with energy weapons. That'd round the range out nicely.
-
Libyan Rebels in 15mm.
I don’t think we ever would start with 15mm, sorry.

A bit of horror inspired stuff perhaps such as the Death Dealers from Blade or the mutant Vampire with the jaws.
Or post apoc/street gangs of vampires...not that I fancy these ::) :D

Never thought of making this, not sure how to make androids, they actually look like ordinary people.
-
I'd like you to produce a Baby Schimmerlos figure.
-
Never thought of making this, not sure how to make androids, they actually look like ordinary people.
The androids are "normal" humans, but there are some special poses in the movie (the leader sitting in the rain at the end thinking loud about his live or the daryl hanna fighting with harrison ford). The chinese guy doing the eyes for the androids is wearing a kind of arctic lab cloth. The most important thing are the toys from j.f. sebastian. Monolith did some in 40mm, but they are not really "blade runner".
-
Sorry if someone else has already suggested it but what about Holmes and Watson with some crazy VSF tech. They'd go well with the 1889 range. If approved I'd vote for a fancy ass pistol for Holmes and a crazy shotgun-type creation for Watson.
Also recently played and currently reading Metro 2033 and would like to see some of the STALKER gasmask types with night vision gear attached. Like:

Some more STLAKERish PA types with bows, and some with crossbows and/or home made fire arms would be pretty funky. As would a few more figures with 'civillian' fire arms (single pistols, hunting rifles, db shotguns)
-
I think Stalker or Zombie Survivor miniatures with improvised weapons like pickaxes or sledgehammers were cool!

Greetings
while working last night my mind wandered around and after a few hours this is the result for future minis:
a sniper team for 1881 Steampunk, possibly also for Bruegelburg if the Snipergun would be some kind of Frontloader/Flintlock/Arquebus. Imagine:
The Sniper
Kind of old, gaunt and haggard he wears a tricorne and is fascinated with oculars. He has some glasses on the nose, a pair on a string around his neck. His (Sniper)gun is long. Possibly as long as he is tall. To support that gun he has some kind of Y-shaped support on wheels (to cradle the barrel). I Imagine him having a pointed beard, pointing away from him (in the direction he's looking/sighting?). Oh and the rifle/gun has not one scope but two. A larger one and a smaller.
The Apprentice
Kind of round face with not much hair on top but long to the neck. He has HUGE glasses (so he sees everything) and has both a scope and a smaller version of the Sniper gun in hands. Did I mention that the sniper has a fascination for oculars? The apprentice seems the same.
Gamenote: In games the Apprentice could be a +2 on rapidity(reloading) and hits (spotting)
The helper
Could have been the Apprentice when he was a youngster. Has goggles on his forehead and tonque between teeth as (s)he is struggling because her/his arms are full of ammunition and scopes and the rucksack is filled with gun parts. Oh and there are scopes dangling from the ruck. Have I pointed out that the sniper has scope fixation?! :P
Gamenote: Same as the Apprentice, the helper could change the sniper basic values. Possibly a + on ammunition and firerate.
And the more I think about it, the more the idea appeals to me the helper and apprentice being females. You don't see many girl characters being apprenticed. Perhaps the old sniper is harsh and a grumbling old clot who is, while not happy, grateful that someone wants to learn his vocation, but is equally disappointed that these novices, learner of his trade ARE girls.
Together the sniperteam could be an interesting feature, don't you think?
Well that's it

I would like to post some ideas for Bruegelburg. a pack of street vendors, maybe a pack with some vendors and thier carts. Town administrative types, judges, heralds, the mayor a tax collector. Town Cryers, more beggers, packs of runnaway kids (pickpockets). I'd really like to see street preformers and festival participants. How about mounted knights or knights on foot. The city watch / police maybe? aristocrats and normal towns folk walking down the street. I know that was a lot, but I really like the scuplts you've done and thought that filling out the town would be cool

a rather appealing 18th C.

an unit of Lace Wars 'she-dragoons': not only they could be fielded in Imagi-Nation armies, but they could appear as 'Marinettes' in Pirates games, as well as in Petite Guerre skirmish games (such as e.g. the episodes of the never ending struggle between Lady Pettygree and Milady de Winter played by Bill Protz -BAR and D.A.F. -Minden Miniatures- http://campaignsingermania.blogspot.fr/search?q=pettygree (http://campaignsingermania.blogspot.fr/search?q=pettygree): so far Bill Protz has to resort to inappropriate Hinterland Victorian Hussarettes).

a rapier and a pistol and you'll have a stunning (http://tinminis.com/Delia2010.jpg (http://tinminis.com/Delia2010.jpg) :D)'pirette captain'.
A Steampunk variant could easily be obtained with an alternate head http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4QfNLjPi3yc/Tq0BN2UdOyI/AAAAAAAAAnw/6yxgfKV11Yo/s1600/robida+le+vingtieme+siecle.JPG (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4QfNLjPi3yc/Tq0BN2UdOyI/AAAAAAAAAnw/6yxgfKV11Yo/s1600/robida+le+vingtieme+siecle.JPG) (perhaps with goggles?) and VSF weapons.
Ideally the 3 'characters' should be available on foot and riding (horses to be obtained elsewhere) as at a time it was practically the norm for minis of 'dungeon adventurers'.
All in 28mm: even if it makes them slightly smaller than, say, Minden miniatures, all the better, women are on the average more petite than men.
PS: Don't forget wargaming minis are NOT intended to be display case figurines to be scrutinized individually, but are intended to be used as playing pieces seen en masse from a distance: their most distinguishing features are to be... emphasized / underlined :D

(as a form of poetic licence, let's forget that gravity is lower on Barsoom...)
Really *odd* how -while our hobby basically invites everyone -children included- to simulate wounding, killing, the maiming of human bodies- some prefer female miniatures to look androgynous. As if it was feminine beauty which was 'shocking', obscene, had to be toned down / hidden (from children?). On TMP vignettes of 'finishing off' a helpless wounded foe are displayed for all, children included, to see; but bits of unpainted metal or plastic 28mm high are concealed behind an 'adult filter'. Seems to reflect a bizarre perversion of aesthetic / ethical values, of what is really ugly / obscene, of what type of images children have to be protected, if that is the underlying reason of such censorship.

a miniature of this miniature :D

Seconded !

some heavy weapons like Eurekas dshk and mortar,rocket artillary/recoiless rifle

A military type stalker with an gasmask/shield like this. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Gas_mask_img_1619.jpg/600px-Gas_mask_img_1619.jpg)

(The scoped one)
Also I'm thinking a knife in the left hand ready to strike and the gun in a "holstered"position on the right.

The past is the future. DDR nostalgia. NVA, Vopos, KdA, young pioneeers and a token Trabant saloon. Would work well with the popularity of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Crooked Dice game. I'm sure the existing KGB types would double as the Stasi.
-
Ehm, er...well. What about sculpting some reinassance zombies, Ratnik? :D
Let's say something like an undead-Landskenecht! It would be GREAT. And no one is doing something similar...I'm wondering why... ;D
-
I would love to have a bagpipe player for the VSF range!
I guess most ranges have musicians, but I'm sure one with a Ratnik twist would be something really different!
It could double as some kind of experimental weapon...

Maybe it could shoot electromagnetic beams from the pipes?
I like the idea of street performers that elendil151 suggested for Bruegelburg ...

For the series Bruegelburg a miniature of Ezio Auditore and his assassins.

For the PA-Range I hope for this:
- Mean-eating Hunters (as evil guys)
- radioactive-tranformed Mutants
- radiactive-transformed Animals
- Kind of evil Cultists and followers
By the way, Igor, next week is christmas and this is my wishlist lol
-
Post apoc Redindians, picked up some old Mega minis tribal elves and would love to see something similar and better than ratskins whihc are other type out there
-
Now that we have dwarf iron maidens, how about some orc iron maidens?
-
Well, guys, we're working on the first weapon set already. Will take some time though.
??? Well, isn't two year a lot of time?
-
I'd like some more steam-punk figures. Anything really, but more espionage based. Secret agents, street thugs, hired hitmen/women, special branch more than standing army as already done with the Turks.
Some French/Russians/Germans. That sort of thing. :D
Can I have them by next Tuesday please? ;)
-
Not a minis suggestion, but one for the site itself.
Has anyone ever suggested a more prominent link to the store from the forum? As it stands now, the only way to actually go from the forum to the store is to click on the latest release news item in the news box at the top of the forum - not exactly an obvious route!
I don't mean that there's should be a big obvious banner, but for the longest time I didn't even realize we had a store right on the site itself and thought everything was sold through third parties! Maybe just a button at the end of the bar that has the forum buttons ("HOME HELP SEARCH PROFILE..." etc.)?
Just a thought!
-
Why not use the forums banner on top of the site. I know this depends on one's screen size, but here (on a 1920*1080 resolution) the LAF banner doesn't even use up half of the screen width.

+1
and less top hat . We need bowler hat, homburg, panama, student cap, etc .

What about a beardless dwarf? I'm really searching for a young dwarf hero without a beard.. okay, a bit of a beard would be ok.. a
A model I could use secretly to be Tyrion Lannister... :D

Forget about the dwarf ^
I like the Bruegelburgh miniatures, and I had a (nice) idea. Maybe you could at the front guys of the Nightwatch (by Rembrandt) to the series

I thinka devil with a fork or human sized demon would be nice (not big and muscled... just regular with hooves and horns). ;D
-
I must say I would like to get the 'Exploration of Mutant Land' minis as Zombies (Zombivor).
Is there a reason why the 'Exploration of Mutant Land' are not available anymore? (I'm happy to get the last ones from Battlefield Berlin) :-)
-
We really need some new Post Apocalyptic figures. Some armed folks without gas masks for one thing is an absolute necessity. And done by "Ratnik", please. :)
-
I'd love to see LAM's take on fantasy football miniatures. There are lots of folks making Blood Bowl teams that are excellent, but I'd like to see some that capture the same look and feel as the 2nd and 3rd edition teams. Beast Face Miniatures are a pretty good example of what I'm talking about.
-
I like the idea of adding more characters from images or history to the series, if not those with gear a hundred years off (make a new series for these if necessary).
What about a pope like Alexander Borgia or one of the Medicis? While we are at the Borgias, Cesare and Lucrecia? Savonarola or Luther! Some royality based upon Maximilian, Francis or Henry. Charles V with his markant face. Suleyman and some Janissaries. Macchiavelli, Michelangelo or Leonardo - or the Mona Lisa. Some knight, like Berlichingen, Bayard or Giovanni Medici. Columbus, Cortez, Montezuma, Vasco da Gama...
just to name the odd contemporary that would fit in :-)
