Suitable Minis for a Space Station Crew?
« on: July 11, 2010, 10:16:09 PM »
Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help me here.
I need 28mm Crewmembers for a Spacestation with Overalls and no Weapons.
The greys was no problem(Tengu"first contact",fantastic minis!)
I have seen some colonists from matakishis site,they looks good,but i dont know the manufacturer!
Anyone ideas who sells such Minis?
Thank's

Heresy miniatures and gripping beast si-fi should be of use.

Another vote for Heresy.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I thought Matakishi used henchmen from the Superfigs line but I could be wrong.

Yep, the boiler suited "press gang"  from Superfigs, now OOP I think. Matakishi used them as colonists, but he also released his own pack of spaceship crew. I use Heresy's Inspectors as space ship/station crew, as their weapons are all holstered.

I suggest having a look at Victory Force's Spacefarers range, specifically the utility crew packs.

If you can find them there was a set of trouble shooters for the paranoia game that were a bit cartoony but still cool and would fit the bill.

The Superfigs are still available from Old Glory (they're "SF-HE 15 Press Gang").

Here's where to find them at the U.S. store's website:

Just found these:

They're armed, but if you like them, the weapons should be easily removed...

You'll need a security team...I recommend these:

As for the non-coms, I would also recommend the Heresy inspectors and some of the other sci-fi minis in the range.

"Aren't you a little short for a Security Trooper" (with apologies to Princess Leia)  ;)

Seriously, the Grymn are lovely figures, but are basically Space Dwarves, so whilst I would wholeheartedly recommend them, they will be too short for Humans.

Suitable SciFi civilians are always in very short supply and it's a great shame more aren't available. GZG do a fine collection in their 25mm SciFi range, but they are "true" 25s and will look rather short and weedy next to today's 28s - even the smaller Hasslefrees. It's a great shame, as there are some lovely characters in that range :(

If you are prepared to have smaller figures mixed in with the Heresys, Copplestones etc, you may be able to sneak a few in.
