Generic armed thugs?
« on: 12 June 2016, 11:43:51 AM »
I'm looking for some generic modern armed thugs, preferably without uniforms and armed with guns of some sort, was wondering if anyone had some good suggestions?
Thanks

The OOP Wargames Factory Male Survivors which are now produced as Warlord Games Zombie Civilians IIRC. Brigade Games have some Armed and Unarmed Sailors which might suit. IHMN through North Star Brick Lane Commune - Victorian but adaptable.

Crossover Miniatures has bank robbers
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Depends what aesthetic you're after but we have paramilitary types and a few lighter dressed armed civilians on the blocks .  https://www.mikebravominiatures.co.uk/collections/28mm-state-of-emergency

Copplestone KGB. Pistol armed.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Do you mean current ultra modem? Generic armed thug means different things over the past few decades.

Sculptor Bobby Jackson did a line of figures called "Thugz"
from Mr.Vampire: "It's the paintjob that makes the miniature fight harder not the size."

Gotta second Crossover miniatures.  Bank robbers, cops, para-military goons.  Lots of options and the multiple head system is nice too.
