Title: 28mm KKK miniatures
Post by: Saucy Jack on 12 February 2015, 09:56:41 AM: In our Deadlands RPG I was thinking about pitting the posse against a group of KKK men. I know this is a sensitive subject and I strongly oppose everything that KKK stand/stood for. I would however like to know whether there are any suitable minis out there - men with grain bags over their head, not in white dresses.

Pulp Figures? A bit to 1930's, but it depends how realistic you wanted...

Here is a link but I must warn you the language is very offensive and include the 'n-word'.

The point is whatever the genre you game it's always good to have a bad guys to shoot at.

Unless we're talking about the smell - then I can guarantee it's bad!
