Throngs of civilians in 28mm?

[NickNascati]

All,
       I've been playing around with creating my Post Apocalyptic world.  I've got a nice seedy, run down town created, but the only people are military and character figures.  Where can I get CHEAP batches of civilians in 28mm to mill about aimlessly?  By cheap, I mean under $1.00 US each.

Well, for dirt cheap, you should check O-gauge railway figures.
just saw 100 figs for $15 on ebay. Ofcourse, the quality will be correspondingly...

You could try MegaMinis:

Not great quality, but might do

Perhaps not The Best, but for 1.29 plus shipping for 12 figures, the old Mongoose 'Street Gang' plastics from Gangs of Mega City One are a DAMNED good buy and you can afford to field a pretty large crowd.

Thanks all.  I grabbed a set of 26 painted O Gauge civilians for $10.00 on Ebay.  Assembling multi-part plastics has pretty much lost its charm with me.

+1 for the Mega Miniatures civilians. They are pretty good for their price and most importantly very diverse.

Styrene railroad pedestrians are also very good.

this website sells the horde you may want, painted or unpainted.

If you wanted to put a bit of work in there are some plastics that can be easily kit bashed to make convincing civilians. I did some for my Force on Force campaign- here's a link

I would recommend Studio miniatures plastic zombies. the bodies are not too zombiefied, and if you are going post apoc anyway they it's OK if the look a bit ragged. Thier heads might need a bit of work, or you could find alternative heads like I did.
