Dickensian Villain model?
« on: February 03, 2015, 05:21:52 PM »
I'm looking for a model to represent a classic Dickensian villain i.e. a portly industrialist/ aristocrat type figure with a cane and perhaps a top hat.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

"Bogeymen" from Ral Partha Europe.  Can't see them on the site so if you want 'em try emailing them.

Might also be worth taking a look at Ironclad's Victorian sci-fi range.
Doesn't Foundry do a John Bull figure that might work?
Otherwise, perhaps the Colonel Marbles figure from FU:UK and add greenstuff a top hat?

Westwind Miniatures have many Victorian gentlemen to choose from in their Vampire Wars/Gothic Horror/Empire of the Dead range

Where can I get him? :o
Black Pyramid figure looks excellent. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed him before. Are Black Pyramid good figures? How do they compare with other ranges?
Thanks for all your help

He's a group project here on the LAF - put a request in on the same topic. :) He went off to the casters a while ago, but should be ready for limited sale fairly soon.

How much is he selling for and where are they distributed from?
