Title: Rural figures?
Post by: Black Cavalier on November 26, 2012, 04:17:57 AM: In my 1st Strange Aeons game that I posted about last week, I used some standard gangster figures as my moonshining gang. But I'd would have like to have more back-woods rural types instead.

Any idea of who makes some? I'm thinking of the people who would have actually made the moonshine, instead of the people that bought it from them & resold it in the speak-easys.

Thanks

But, the "It Came From Beyond The Still" miniatures are quite nice:

Post by: Ramirez Noname on November 28, 2012, 04:02:13 PM: Yeap, I've used some the "Bluemoon" McCluckys as part of a Strange Aeon lurker group, ideal as Bootlegger types, too; only critism is the two lanky chaps, top row, #2 and #3 from lerft are well tall (about 35mm) - must be something in the genes?

6milPhil, I believe I may be facing that Weasley gang tomorrow night since Skrapwelder posted pictures of his version painted up.
