shadowrun and cyberpunk miniatures source

[sundayhero]

They are really good looking (even if I'm not a fan of a helmet head for a decker), but looking the last picture, they seems to be on the large side of miniatures sizing 

The troll would probably be compatible with my other figs.

They stack up well scale wise , never really had a problem with them , the decker is a combat decker in my game , as most site sec is offline!

I would suggest hasslefree as well as it's a project I've often thought of doing, my particular faves are





A bit of conversion work on a couple to make orks/trolls and you're laughing

I also found this for a modern looking hermetic Mage

Include the pug , which could be a watcher spirit!

Nice minis, even if I'd prefer to keep a more 90's look and feel in my setup

By the way I just ordered an used 3rd edition rulebook today ! I'll use it at least as a source book for this project.

Now I'll make a listing of the figures I already have, and see what figures I could add. Basically, I'd say I should buy riggers, deckers, and trolls because I have no compatible figures, as far as I know.

I also have some remaining wargames factory survivors, wich would make nice "sculpting dollies" for shadowrun conversions.

I also bought a lot of MDF and depron sheets, for the board !

No, they're 28mm 'scale'.

And there is this bad boy from Reaper's Chronoscope range:

Thanks for your help.

Concerning the size, I don't own any hasslefree minis, I was just referring to the photos with the ruler in the background, these specific minis appears to be 35mm tall,  bigger than 28mm scale (wich I personnaly consider "heroic" when the eyes are at 28mm height, and "true" when the overal human sized mini measure 28mm to top of the head) ?

But again, I don't own any minis from this range, so I cannot say, I just see the pictures.

Just so you know, these most miniature companies (and folks here) are going to give you measurements at to-the-eyes.  It makes it easier to measure the comparative heights of minis without having to guess the difference due to headgear. 

True vs heroic is usually used to refer to the bulk/proportion of the minis.  True-scale minis are going to be thinner and more realistically proportioned whereas heroic is going to be bulkier.  The exception is that some companies use "heroic" to justify why they are selling miniatures that are taller than 28mm to-the-eyes. 

Just thought that might help you to make sense of some of the measurements we've been giving you in this thread.

Anyway, my own "standard" for big scale (since I also do 10, 15 and 20mm) is 28mm, from feet to eyes
So anything not in this norm has to be verified before I can mix the minis.

I'm not a scale or brand integrist (as I showed in the topic, I can easily mix relatively smaller ral parth with bigger GW or urbanwar, or even heroclix), but since Shadowrun is representing diferent kinds of metahumans, for gameplay (and overall look) purpose it will be easier to mainting some kind of size rule. Especially for humans, elves and orcs wich are relatively close in size.

So my own rule will be (considering the minis faces are obviously recognizable) :


human : from 25 to 28mm from feet to eyes (thin or bulky)
elves : from 28 to 32mm to feet to eyes (with thin shape)
orcs : from 28 to 32mm to feet to eyes (with bulky/muscled shape)
dwarves and trolls  : small enough or big enough compared to the 3 other sizes


   And as usual, with a 80-90's old school style since it's the central focus of my collection/miniature hobby.

Here's a converted Hasslefree Grant (as shown earlier in the thread), next to EM4 Future Wars troopers. There's also a Foundry Street Violence SWAT sniper at the back (left side).



The photo is NOT mine, it's the work of LAF's very own awesome Pijlie. Here's his excellent blog:

I hope that helps!

Thanks


It seems that the most difficult thing to find is good near future dwarfs !

[Earther]

Hasslefree's Grymn are a must! (around 23mm to the eye):

The girl at the top of my previous post is an example of a female dwarf (grymm) from hasslefree, i think she's dead cute!

[sundayhero]

I didn't notice it was a female dwarf, I was just thinking it was a planturous woman
