Rethinking Supers
« on: 10 September 2013, 07:45:06 PM »
And just because it seems like it might be worthwhile to ask - as in http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=58077.msg691349#msg691349 - Who make 15/18 mm figures suitable for Supers gaming.

Gracias,

Glenn

Super Figs are great.

There are also gobs and gobs of plastic minis from Heroclix, D&D minis, Star Wars, and a few others.

This page also has a list of a number of other resources:

Rebbel mini's also have modern swat and other police, gang members as wel as sci-fi troops that might serve as high teck anti-super troops. Their prices and shipping are also very decent in my experiance.

Leonmallett gave me a bag of about a dozen 15mm supers he had acquired over the years form many different sources, some of which are long out of production. He gave them me because he wasn't going to get them painted, and in all honesty nor am I. If you want them and are willing to pay postage from the UK you can have them, on the strict proviso you post pictures of your lovely mini super minis when you have painted them. If will be good for Leon and me to know they went to a good home.

pm me if you are interested.
Theres more 28mm Superhero Madness at my blog, http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/

Splintered Light have some post Apoc & Pulp minis, some of the fantasy anthropomorphic creatures might work as well, depending on paint job. I guess some of the Woodland Realms minis in particular would be useful as henchmen etc for a super villainous druid type or a botanist turned rogue/ Poison Ivy type.

CP Models have some 15mm sci fi minis (and head swaps) that at least in part would be good for Villains:

Unfortunately I have a convention to prepare for in November (running two games after years of just attending and playing.)  Lots of terrain to replace/repair, miniatures to paint, rules to re-learn, etc.

Add on trying to downsize my "large" figures collection, (I just placed a list on the Bazaar of the unmodified Heroclix for example,) and I just can't justify getting miniatures just to set on the shelf.

Otherwise it would be a wonderful opportunity.

Gracias,

Glenn
