Title: Best 28mm HYDRA agents?
Post by: fergal on September 27, 2011, 01:25:58 PM

Does anyone make any masked "superhero-y" gunman type in multiple poses?  I'm wondering if it's possible to put together a SuperSystem henchman group of HYDRA schlubs?

Heroclix option #2

There is also a female option from the very early sets plus special characters like Madame Hydra, Viper and Bob.

Cheers,

Thanks for the fast reply Bubba, but I'm trying to find a metal type figure that might work.   I know the heroclix guys are quite popular in the superhero gaming circles, but I haven't warmed to them yet.

I use Victory Force's SS Commandos for my HYDRA.  They got advanced WWII weapons and kit and with just a green and yellow paint job you got a WWII-era HYDRA force.

Give them a look over,

PS
I have about a dozen of them but without their Vampire IR sites if you want them I'll let them go for a $1 a pop.  Got some as a gift and didn't need that many.

There are these guys from the Superfigs line that could work.  I have them in various stated of being painted green myself.  Could be Hydra or the Hand.

You might try the Reaper Miniatures Nova Corp minis from their Chronoscope line:

There's also some painted examples here on the forum: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=23576.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=23576.0)

Thanks for all the suggestions so far lads!

I'm more partial to a less-techie version of henchmen to keep it more of a comic book style and less "dark"? 

I've been eying those superfigs henchmen for some time as I haven't found a great ninja type henchman yet, so maybe they could fill two roles.

Thanks guys, any more suggestions?  Keep them coming.

I'm keen on some whitemetal/plastic Hydra guys myself, the clix ones aren't inspiring enough to do a whole squad.

Less techie, eh?  Ok, how about some old school figures from Copplestone Castings?  They're having a special right now, get all of the figures below for £60.00 (http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/offer.php (http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/offer.php)).  Of course the same figures are available for sale in smaller packs as well.

Wargames Factory Shock Troopers might be what you are looking for.

Thanks Landsknecht, but I sorted this one out myself earlier this year.  :)

I was going to reply that crossover did some excellent
Hydra-ey goons in metal too ;-)
