I am considering to add some Ku Klux Klan to my Texas Rangers vs The Hill Billies Project. I have seen that UncleMike has some suitable cultists in pointy hats but are there other options? Grateful for any help!
-
Bob Murch Pulp Figures are close, there are also a few from Hasslefree that may fit in...also I think Artizan has a few.
-
They don't have pointy hats, but the new Bushwacker minis in the Brigade Games Western range are well armed and look anonymously sinister in their homemade burlap masks.
Artizan also do a few pointy-hat cultists - they look like they're straight out of Tintin and the Cigars of the Pharaoh.
-
Reverisco has some...

Thanks all for your support. It seems Uncle Mike and Reviresco are the pointed hat alternatives unless I would dare to dabble with some green stuff 8)
-
Aye I'd be tempted to go for the Pulp Figures and a few lumps of greenstuff.
-
What about these from Artizan http://www.artizandesigns.com/list.php?cat=121&man=12&page=2

Are those the Artizan ones?
-
All Artizan but the one holding the book and pointing with his right hand that's a old GW miniature I found in my box, there is some conversion there,they needed weapons more fitted for Strange Aeon, rifle, crossbow, club, machete, and suicide bomber.
-
Thanks for the explanation. Very nice indeed.
-
I am thinking of supplementing my ACW2 Nationalist/Fascist forces with a KKK contingent. I will be using the Artizans and a few others with lots of green stuff.

Didn't even know these were available... cool supplement for SA and VOK, too. And Reviresco's baseballers just might find a use for some modern scenarios, hmmmm....

i have the same idea about hill billies, G men and KKK figurines.
I have in mind two period, a old west one and more modern one (1930s). I use the Pulp figurines but i have to upgrade the pointed hat to a great size with some miliput like material. ;)
a pic or two of my work will follow soon
-
Nervisfr,
great to hear that I have company on this project. Look forward to see your stuff!
-
here they are :

the 2th on the left is my "imperial great dragon" of the Klan. The "Pulp" hood tail must be remove and then resculpted on the top of the head to make it straight high.
see the original here (1st on the top rank). His tommy gun arm is gone to a seeman for my king kong project......metal are too expensive now to waste anything. lol

His right arm has been converted from the 1st on the lelf, 2th rank :

Wow!
Nice work! I painted all my apulp cultists in red so I think I will try your method on some Artizan cultists :)
-
i don't use milliput for the hoods, but this Pattex material (don't know the english words for "soudure à froid") :
(http://www.pratikshop.com/upload/609610z.jpg)
-
Google says 'cold welding'... whatever that means?
But it looks more like some kind of filler/padding?
-
you have to mix the two color of putty just like Milliput but with a very quick time of drying.
-
Ah, it's probably a two-component epoxy, then :)
-
for hill billies, see my conversion topic about them right here :

Ancient German Hillbillies!
Cool! ;D
-
Cool but pricey ;D

-
you said it ! Resin is not my favourite material for conversion and at that price...... o_o
7.50 euros for 8 heads... :'(
-
I think paying nearly a euro for a little head is not unreasonable. Particularly if they're metal like these ones are.
-
Tabletop Art has just produced a set of cultist heads with pointy hats http://www.tabletop-art.de/Cultist-heads_1

Something tells me these guys don't belong to the same cult as the guys with the white pointy hats.
-
Note that these figures can be used historically in a Pulp scenario set in Los Angeles. When I was attending high school in the Highland Park neighborhood on the northeast corner of Los Angeles, near Pasadena, I was told that neighborhood had the highest concentration of KKK members in the USA during the 1920's. Having recently moved from the South to Los Angeles, I thought that was pretty odd. Never checked out whether that was true, but apparently the KKK was there in force.
