post apocalyptic figures in 28mm
« on: November 02, 2009, 12:20:13 PM »
Who makes post apocalyptic figures (not zombies) in 28mm. I don't want huge firearms, just normal sized slug throwers. I want goodwill mix and match clothing and make shift melee weapons.

Copplestone casting scavengers are good post apoc figures, with ragged clothing and a variety of weapons. Hasslefree do a cleaner cut series of survivors with a really varied choice of weapons. Heresy also do a couple of figs that might be useful to you, and have really good service.

Off the top of my head:

Em-4
Mad puppet (might be too large for your tastes)
Westwind road rage/road kill (i forget what it's actually called)
Ramshackle games
Dark Age (again, a little large)

as well as those already mentioned

Mirliton/Grenadier (more Copplestone stuff)
Pig Iron (rebels, ferals, bits)
Ral Partha/Ironwind (there was some weirdness in their Shadowrun and Vor ranges, maybe others)

And Brigade's new line for Atomic Cafe 1957 are out there. A nice mix of civilian looking figures, some with ragged clothing.

My favorite happen to be the Mooseketeers and the Poughkeepsie Pink Pummelers.

There are also a few that might work for you in Foundry's Street Violence range.

Check out some of Alpha Forge's Star Mogul figures....They'd work well for Post-Apoc...

Some do have 'futuristic' weapons, but that could easily be changed.  Plus they are dirt cheap.

I don't know if they fit into your scheme, but you might have a look at this:

Kallistra's sci-fi range:

http://www.kallistra.co.uk/

Pictures on their site are not great, but the figures are pretty nice, and generally similar to the Copplestone and em-4 lines.

These are actually the same range as ours but ours are from the original UK masters and are cheaper :D

Plus, EM4 figures are available in singles and come cleaned and primed!

As a semi-regular customer, I agree on the singles & prices & good casts part. However, none of my eM minis have ever come cleaned or primed. To quote:

Quote from: Doug on TMP
Most of our Future Wars line are pre-primed. We had these cast by a contractor in large quantities some years ago and they came back cleaned and primed (although we hadn't asked for this!).

In this context you may be entirely right. I just wanted to clarify the matter due to the possible ambiguity in that statement.

(I'm not sure if I even wanted a pre-primed mini...)

To clear this up, the majority of our Future Warriors do come cleaned and primed. However, as the stock of contract-cast ones is exhausted, their replacements will revert to the traditional unprimed state. They will still be sold singly and at good prices.
