Finding figures
« on: 10 January 2014, 07:51:46 AM »
Mr Womack esq. has asked if Northstar can produce the list below. Given that Northstar cannot do everything I thought that I would ask you good ladies and gentlemen if you knew of suitable figures elsewhere?

  1x Ambullah, Nubian Captain
  2x Nubian Guards
  1x male Hashashin
  1x Mummy
  3x Cultists with Khopesh
Giant Ape with Howdah.
Kaiser Wilhelm Heavy Walker
Scout Walker
Bulldog Walker
Johnson Mk. VII Industrial Walker [Currently under construction by Northstar]
Jackal Walker
Professor Moebius and Amelie
French Zouave with Vertical Spring Translocator blister
  2x Zouave
Yeti blister (in case you want a second one)
Society of Thule Jäger/Tod-truppen blister
  2x Jäger
  2x Tod-truppen

I don't know of an ape that already has a howdah, but it seems the pose on Reaper's Kabaka Kwana, Ape Lord would lend itself to easy conversion.

For the Society of Thule Jagers, I'd suggest Noth Stars' 1866 Prussian Jagers:

With regard to zombifid versions, perhaps a converson using either Mantic or Wargames Factory plastic zombie parts?

I wonder if that is in the Bones series yet...

Reaper's price on it in lead is $44.49US. It's in five parts. No Bones listing yet.

Would these be suitable?
I know you're not keen on the 32mm scale Craig but possibly not so much of an issue for a Walker?

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people ... I'm just saying lets remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out ...

I have no issue with the scale, it just doesn't fit with the rest of my collection is all :)

They might do very nicely though.

Would these Crooked Dice Thuggees have a use?



Or this Brother Vinni miniature:


Wouldn't the EotD exo-skeleton from West Wind make a perfect walker for IHMN?

Artizan Morocans for Nubians...




or Hell Dorado Saracens for slightly more fantastical.


Hell Dorado also makes a Hashasin

Apes are not lacking, but the fine Howdah you do?  ;)

Hey all since we are helping people find figures perhaps you can help me find the leader of U Troop. I have all the rest of the figures found I just need to find Inspector Robert Etienne.
 
I have looked though and discarded dozen of Cowboy/westren minis because they are too United States cowboy/calvary and not enough Canadian gentlemen/maverick Paramilitary leader.   (A side note for my neighbours to the south there is no insult intended there, the style of dress was very different.)

I am looking for a refined looking young-to 30 something with a long jacket buttoned up or open, twin pistols and if the jacket is open I need a jack or shirt underneath that could pass for the uniform jacket, shirt or undershirt of the RMP. If you know of mini that might work please post or PM me.

Cheers,

Irish.
