Help finding a few minis.
« on: 10 March 2013, 04:48:58 PM »
I'm looking for a couple of minis to represent some characters I'd like to paint up.

Was wondering if any of you could point me to some minis to use as a basis.

First up is an armed mercenary.  He's a large man, like 6ft 5 and 300 pounds.  In his 20's.  Most of my miniatures are Hasslefree sized, so maybe 32mm or so would do the trick.  Body armor, and carrying a shotgun/automatic weapon.

Second is a G-man.  Also overly large.  Suit, sunglasses and handgun.

Most of the ones I've come across for either of these is a bit too bobbleheaded.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

As for the G-man, what about one of these guys?:

Just swap the weapons on one of the first 2 guys.

Maybe this one with a bit of putty/ plastic card for armour plates: http://www.taleofwar.com/shop/product.php?id_product=157
It says: "Includes an square base of 25mm", but it probably would be safer to email them and ask for the size anyways.

Only thing else I can think of is Heresy's Tiny, but he's just as unarmoured and you'd have to cut off his Rocket Launcher.

Don't know if you want a chubby guy or just a really muscular one with the 300 lbs.

What about this new HF mini:



or the big guys from Foundry:




Both Cook and Mac Taylor are really big guys. You'd need to give Mac a pair of shades, though.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
 
These guys are supposed to be big and strong, not necessarily chunky.

Really like that Hasslefree one, but those two guys from Street Violence really look like big dudes.
