I've seen the model for sale on an "archive miniatures" site, but I can't remember where! :cry:

Would it be the chap at the bottom of the page?:

Yes! Thank you!

Didn't em-4 do an eyeglassed poli w/ briefcase? Matakishi used him as John Major getting eaten by zombies, or aliens, IIRCC.

It would have helped if I'd actually read the thread is less of a hurry! :oops:

Ah! Thanks a lot! Now I know where to get it!

That John Major Look a like is a great figure, but not quite what I had in mind for my game.

I like the idea of Escape from 10 Downing Street though, but who will play Snake Plisken - John Prescott??? :

I don't have any help for the President figure, but this scenario calls for some Redneck Militia from Old Glory's 25mm Fantasy Roadkill line:

If you want the President, or one of his staff to be armed, then you might consider this figure in shirt and tie from Hasselfree:

Actually, some of the other Humans and Adventurers from Hasslefree would be great for this type of scenario.

If you're still looking for a Prez then Gripping Beast have a figure in the Mo-Fo Falklands range. He's in a suit but wearing an parka over the top, it's cold in the south Atlantic...

Soaps.

Soapy, Thanks for the heads up on those figures. I hadn't seen that one before.

Guys, I need your help....

I am sourcing figures for a future wars game we are playing next month. The Presidents plane has crashed in the wastelands. Fortunately the president has survived along with his wife, some political advisors, a TV reporter and cameraman and FBI bodyguards. A rescue team has been dispatched find them. Will they be rescued in time or will the various nomad gangs, scavengers, punks and bikers find them first....?

I am using the excellent Copplestone/EM4 figures for the various gangs, Government rescue team, FBI agents and TV camera crew.

But I need suitable figures for the President, his wife and their aids.
Ideally they will be unarmed, dressed in suits and look like politicians. Any suggestions?

Malamute · « **Reply #24 on:** May 17, 2007, 11:52:31 AM »

Not played it yet.

I am in the middle of painting the rescue squad at present. The various punks and bikers are ready as is the terrain and the buildings. But I still haven't got the president figure. I can't decide which one to buy!
Hopefully we will play the game in june/july. I will post a report and pictures then.

Look forward to it.As with a lot of my stuff, I've got a load of Future Wars figs that are still awaiting painting but it's a genre that really appeals to me.

Malamute · « **Reply #26 on:** May 17, 2007, 01:34:56 PM »

General - I know what you mean. I have had the figures lying around for years then a friend of mine got the bug to start a post apocalypse collection and we haven't looked back!

I think part of the appeal is you can go in any direction you want. We have opted for the burnt over wasted desert look with fortified settlements made of any old rubbish people could salvage. The roads and wastelands are run by the gangs and the only law and order is quazi military groups and shadowy corporations

We are keeping it fairly low tech, so basic modern/ near future weapons, trucks and equipment.
