Offensive miniatures
« on: November 29, 2009, 02:33:52 PM »
I was in my local WHSMITH reading Wargames Illustrated and these were advertised

http://www.offensiveminiatures.com/

Would do perfect for Zombie games or Post Apocolyptic

Enjoy guys

I've seen these in the flesh and they are really nice. The rioters and riot cops would be perfect for futurewars/zombie stuff. And they do really cool SWAT teams!
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious!!

I purchased their Terrorists. Nice figures, but really on the small side 28mm. Which is sad really. They do not fit with the likes of Foundry or Copplestone...

Not sure if the rest of the Near Future range is the same though.

These are ones I've been meaning to put on the Scale-O-Matic. So I better do that!

I have the Riot Police all done now, nice figures, Thinner and slightly taller than most though so if you dont want to mix and match you need to consider that.

Vyper check out their new rioters 33 figures just released in total :-*

Not being able to judge the scale of something really puts me off from purchasing lot of this stuff.


If anyone has a pic showing comparision between these and 'more common' (ie copplestone, EM-4, hasslefree) minis, I'd give you a big man hug!
