Author Topic: Looking for "evil" Fantasy Soldiers (Read 6797 times)

Hi to all, i could use some help.

I am looking for some 28mm Human Soldiers who look kinda "evil" (cheesy I know

) but at the same time disciplined and well equipped. Every Evil Lord needs some Elite troops these days ;P.

I am looking for humans who don`t look like chaos warriors or Barbarians and they should scale up with 28mm Warhammer miniatures. Maybe someone has an Idea since I seem to be unable to find something suiting, here is an example for what I am after:

Cheers T

Check out Reaper Miniatures, Warlord "Overlord" range.

Following on from Scurv's observation:

What about GW plastic Gondorian Soldiers with plastic Saxon heads?

That should give you a similar look to the picture that you posted and relatively easy and cheap.

Sadly those gondorians are to small in scale, I have about 50 of them. I thought about converting some minis but wanted to know if there were some nice metal alternatives around, thx guys and thx commissarmoody for the link.

I will think about some conversions but if anyones has Ideas for suitable minis keep it coming.

Its from the "Legend of the Seeker" TV Show which was sadly cancelled after two seasons, like a lot of people I didn`t like it in the beginning but it grew on me and after a while I was hooked, easy digestable fantasy-action-entertainment while you paint your minis

I don't have Sky or Cable or internet TV, just UK Freeview, so that programme has passed me by... Only just saw episode 1 of Game of Thrones last night 'cos Pick TV is showing it on Thursdays on Freeview now! (Wooohooo!! it was rather good...)

Anyway...sorry..thread hijack well and truly over...

I actually just watched the full 2 session online this last week. I liked it. Its based off of Terry Goodkinds "sword of truth" series.

Those chaps look perfect!
Never seen them before, will have to try and remember them...

I was thinking of this fella, and just remembered which line he is from:

One of the first minis that I ever bought.

In Julie Guthrie's range that Mega sold to Center Stage there are a half dozen or more armored evil warriors that are stinking good and they strike a great balance between each sculpt being unique and them making a cohesive-looking range. From what I'm hearing you say these would fit your needs perfectly and IMO they are a lot better all around than anything mentioned above. Not sure when they will be available again. So glad I grabbed them up when I had the chance.

Oooh this sounds good. Julie Guthrie is easily one of my favourite sculptors.

Got any pics?

GW Dark Elf stuff with a suitable headswop should also work well and offer also a wide variety of options, though I don't think I'd say they were cheap unless you pick them up second hand.
