What other miniatures/factions would you like to see?

[Baldrick]

I would like to think that a beatnik gang would have a person that looks like Bob Denver.

I'd like to see some Tiki loungers, business men, the Royal Order of the Water Buffalo, housewives living lives of quiet desperation, instead of JFK, Senator Margaret Chase Smith (she gave an impassioned speech in the Senate renouncing the divisiveness and fear-mongering caused by McCarthyism), civil rights protesters and Communist 5th columnists.  On the celebrity front, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Marlin Brando (maybe as a bloater??), Jane Russell, and Mr. B Natural.

Whatever comes out, I would like to see more 1950s women.

First one I found on evilbay

Lots and lots here, but some for the deeper pocketed

Honestly, after looking over the rules, I'd like:

- Rules for vehicular combat (the current rules are fairly basic, and not much different from the ones in the rattrap adventures games). I'd like rules for guns firing from vehicles, improvised armor, that sort of thing. Just doesn't seem post-apocalyptic without it. Not a factional thing, necessarily, but could be supported with various weapons packs for upgrading vehicles on the market.

- I'd like to see the gangs currently out supported with special rules and finished before others are added. There are still some figures missing, and special rules haven't been done up for all the figs, so it would be nice to have these in hand.

- Once that's done, there was mention  of a space cult involving a monkey in a space suit. Sounds like fun to me. Maybe some astronauts or cosmonauts? Idunno.

Strangely enough, I have the monkey in a space suit...  (that's something else we could use, Cosmonauts and Astronauts)

These are in the final rulebook. The basic rules on the Brigade forum do not cover them and were never intended to.

There is "something" in the works.

Each to there own Prof.   I see you went with 1/64th which I think is far too small with 28mm. My preference is 1/43rd when 1/50th is not an option.

I've looked at the main rules. I don't see anything about armor, vehicle mounted weapons, etc.  But maybe they aren't in the current set being offered by Brigade?

Curious. Does the set you were given have stats for the three different vehicle types?

If it does, you will see that listed at the bottom should be upgrades available to each type. Guns and armor are listed there as upgrades. Armor is just an increase to Toughness so that you can model this however you would like.

Grimm has some 1/64 cars for his table and they actually look good. But I'm going to buy one or another 1/43 car just to compare.

[Darkoath]

I would like to see a Boy Scout troop and from a picture posted here... The Rat Pack!  And Ed Sulivan as a single figure...

Darkoath

[Baldrick]

The first Rat Pack is different from the guys who did the Summit at the Sands (the second Rat Pack).  It would be great to have figures of Sinatra, Lauren Bacall, David Niven, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Kathrine Hepburn and Cary Grant.  Bogart died in 1957.

The second Rat Pack consisted of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr., Peter Lawford (until '62), Norman Fell (briefly) and Joey Bishop.  The term pack was never used by this group - they called themselves the Summit or the Clan - it was given to them by the press.  They also called several people who hung around with them "Mascots" and that would include Marilyn Monroe and Angie Dickinson.

!/50th is an option as the Hotwheels Custom Classics are produced in this scale all mine bought from ebay, with postge about £10.00 per car, cheaper if you buy in bulk. I will post some comparison picks at end of week when I create thread for my own AC57 painted figures (just need to finish Greasers as have painted Army).

Like Maynard G. Krebs, more specifically...

(Frankly, the Hasselfree Miniatures figure Wolsey (Shaggy) is already 90% of the way there, though...)>

[Uncle Mike]

Hopheads! I want a gang of refer maniacs!

[Grimm]

What about a Lucha libre wrestler special character ?
