Does any one have any recommendations for 28mm puppet miniatures? I'm looking at Relics and Puppet wars at the moment, trying to find what else would fit with them. I am looking to build/convert a full faction of puppet models for Malifaux's Guild.
I'm happy to convert stuff, I have some experience scratch building so I don't mind if I have to build a few weapons but I'd like to know what options are out there before I start investing.

I was going to suggest Malifaux halfway through the second sentence. Had a quick look without success.
Is there a particular style you're after? There's the clockwork zombies from Eureka Miniatures:

Not sure if they are suitable, but the Disturbia range from Monolith has some Twisted Toys in it:

Rag dolls with buttons and stitches mostly. Rackham have a couple of suitable models in their Death familiars. A couple in their Dwarves of Mid Nor as well but they come as a package and a bit expensive for some little voodoo dolls.
I just ordered Relic's Bitanan starter set http://www.beastsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Relics-Britanan-Starter-Set.jpg
That will give me 2 mounted guild guards, a few guard riflemen and I'll figure out what the leader fits with later. A blister of dogs means I'm well on the way to having a playable McGabe list.

I saw those and the 2nd one looks great but I can't find where he would fit. He doesn't really suit any Malifaux characters. I had considered expanding the army a little to include the teddy bears some how but I'm a bit iffy there.

Dark Arts Studios do a mannequin familiar (I've got one, pretty good, and on sale right now too): http://www.dark-art-studios.co.uk/dark-art-studios_shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_38_39&products_id=140

You could look at the 'Collodi' stuff from Wyrd Miniatures.
-
Recall there are some in Rackham's Confrontation range...one on stilts IIRC. There are two in my Tekumel range but they are very small being scale 6" in height or so.

Have you seen these scarecrows from Casting Room Miniatures?

Black Army Miniatures does this fellow with two puppet choices.

I always have meant to get this mini. I believe the puppeteer has a revolver behind his back. I have also always wondered if he was going to shoot the puppet (I'm a hand puppet you joik! - bad movie long ago ;D)

Brookhurst Hobbies is having a closeout sail on some of the early Malifaux metal figures. I picked up a pack of the Wyrd Marionettes (WYR4040)... really nice figures. I don't know how available they are but you might want to look on eBay and see if they are being sold and if you like them.

Tinfoil knight, a suggestion: pick up the GHK0001 - Child Vampires from West Wind, glue very small metal keys on their backs and sent against your players as "evil vampire puppet toys" (and remember the heroes that inside each mechanical puppet somehow beats an actual children's heart...) :o
