Title: Minion/Henchmen Miniatures for Super Games
Post by: Grey Panda on January 25, 2017, 07:51:24 AM: I need help tracking down some kind of minion type robots for Superhero games.

My main source thus far is the Heroclix collection but apart from A.I.M. Hydra and Ninja types (which I've ordered) I can't see anything.

I'm imagining something along the lines of a flying robot but I'm open to any kind of suggestions. And not just Heroflix

Thanks again

John

Superfigs (Old Glory)
Spectre Miniatures
Eureka (Pulp Ranges)
Reaper
Crooked Dice

Cool Robots:
Pulp Miniatures
Crooked Dice
Warlord (Konflict '47 and Anteraes)

There are plenty more, these are just off the top of my head.

Bombshell miniatures (West Wind in the UK) has some flying bots.
Hydra Miniatures
Armorcast
Black Cat Bases (not that good quality)
Black Tree Design "Dr. Who"
Ainsty (some silly droids)

Perhaps not-that-minionish:
Copplestone
Mirliton
Space Vixens from Mars
Gates of Antares
Infinity
CP Models

Hydra minis also do some nice Robots.

Plus some small "Spider Tanks".

Crossover miniatures do some really good Minions for their Supers.

Seconded. Crossover and Crooked Dice have a lot of nice figs.

I'll second these figs - they're awesome, and very easy to paint.
