Title: 28mm Firefly Crew (any ideas?)
Post by: Bobble on June 16, 2013, 06:58:08 PM: I want to paint up a Firefly crew and have been looking around for figures.
Unfortunately I'm not a big fan pf the Heresy ones,thinking of using the Hasslefree Brooke as River and maybe the Artizan Eliza Stone with a head swap for Zoe
Anyone out there got any ideas what minis to use?

Cheers,
Steve

I had the same idea for Zoe as you, and managed to get the model from somebody on the forum (it was a couple of years ago, so I'm sorry I can't remember who it was - but thank you!). It might be worth looking through the Chronoscope range to see what they have.

Hope this helps!

Kickstarter only, with the few remaining sets being sold at cons, so ask around on forums and check ebay regularly.

Wild West Exodus also did the entire crew, IIRC. Again, a Kickstarter exclusive as far as I know, and these ones were steampunk versions.

I don't care for most of their miniatures though - haven't seen the Firefly crew in the flesh. Worth checking into though...

Maybe there are some greens floating around the web or something. It would be easy to modify them with a bit of sci-fi kit.

Gracias,

"The captain of the boat is Nathan Reinholdt, a former sergeant of the US Army who commands respect yet is fiercely loyal to his crew."

Shouldn't that be CONFEDERATE army, to be consistent? Awkward politics aside.
