Rural figures?
« on: November 26, 2012, 04:17:57 AM »
In my 1st Strange Aeons game that I posted about last week, I used some standard gangster figures as my moonshining gang.  But I'd would have like to have more back-woods rural types instead.

Any idea of who makes some?  I'm thinking of the people who would have actually made the moonshine, instead of the people that bought it from them & resold it in the speak-easys.

Thanks

Foundry's Ride with the Devil figures are nicely country and generic. I have 2 dozen available anytime you could use them.

Those blue moon sets look quite tasty.
Does anyone know any uk or European suppliers?


Edit. Sorry. Just saw that miniaturicum stock them.

They look quite good for british rural types. Looking at the painted poliecemen Im rather dubious of the sculpting quality but 90p a minis not to be sniffed at.

I think the Blue Moon "Hatfields" and "McCoys" are my favorite hicks. And as I'm currently living in Kentucky, I consider myself an expert. After all, in Kentucky the most common pillow talk is "Git off me paw, yer crushin' my Marlboros"

But, the "It Came From Beyond The Still" miniatures are quite nice:

Yeap, I've used some the "Bluemoon" McCluckys as part of a Strange Aeon lurker group, ideal as Bootlegger types, too; only critism is the two lanky chaps, top row, #2 and #3 from lerft are well tall (about 35mm) - must be something in the genes?

I think some of 'The Midnight Riders' might be generic enough to fit in?
