Thanks all!

Yes, two from Hasslefree - the Anthropologist (plus a hat from a Perry American Civil War set) and the Secretary.

The Journalist is from Studio Miniatures.

The Prodigy is, alas, out of production but came from Crooked Dice.

The Historian and the Sociologist are from the Warlord Games Project Z male and female survivor sets (with an arm from the Perry box again).

The Guide is a conversion of one of Offensive Miniatures' rioting mob.

Appreciate the response! I had a feeling that the Prodigy was the Crooked Dice oop figure but didn't realize that he came with a weapon and that's what threw me  :?

Ah, no, you're quite right, he didn't. That was an addition from one of the survivor boxes.

The wealthy employer who employs a personal secretary with the skillset of the chap above, given the nature of their work, is mighty likely to have need of a personal Security Advisor.

If you're not born to great wealth, then for any expedition anywhere you will need to find someone else born to great wealth to fund your activities. Enter the Bankroller, often a relative and / or relative with murky motives...

Nice work!

I also like that you're using clear bases.  ;)

Thanks!

Yeah, the clear bases save a fair amount of work, which might be why I'm getting miniatures done more quickly than normal. They do require a degree of care which I struggle to muster when doing minions and crowds. My recently re-based zombies have some puddles of dried superglue oozing from their feet from where I struggled to find purchase on the surface. I'm a bit more careful with the characters!

Now I just need to lose the habit of dropping miniatures, because these bases do not like fighting gravity...
