Suggestions for 28mm prisoner type figures
« on: 09 November 2022, 11:20:26 PM »
Potentially looking for some prisoner figures. Either near future or sci-fi. Fairly nondescript ‘uniforms’ and some of could be armed. 3D prints can be an option also  :)

The other possibility would be some Stargrave crewmen. With the right paint job it should be fairly straight forward to get them to look like prisoners.

Thanks for the suggestion chaps  :)

The WA ones seem to fit the bill I think. Other suggestions are appreciated of course  :)

I would second the Cannon Fodder suggestion, with some Stargrave/Frostgrave/Oathmark heads (and Stargrave arms) for commonality/variation.

Stargrave head and WA weapons sprue arms.


Oathmark head and Stargrave arms (some filling required at the back, Stargrave figures are much better fed).

Great Escape Gunfighters might also be a source for arms (and heads).
