Bioshock
« on: December 24, 2016, 02:59:51 PM »
I have an idea of gaming the undersea world of Bioshock. Are there any 28mm minis out there?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Recreational Conflict did a Big Daddy style miniature.  Posts on here as wolfgangbrooks, maybe drop him a message?

There are clix style miniatures available that scale about 28mm, some are a bit spindly though:

Thanks guys!

@stone-cold:  hmm not sure if anything useful there from what I can see on the website but thanks

@Sterling Moose: Yep won't bother with the clix but will use them for inspiration to try to find similar metal minis

@ Momotaro: Like the Big Daddy shame he is not just a little bit bigger!

Nice idea.  I love the world created by those games. 

Are you looking at the Rapture of the first game? Or an earlier period during the civil war with less altered Splicers?

Any idea of rules?

I'd like to game the first Bioshock
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.

Yes I was looking at the wrecked Rapture of the first game. No as yet I have no idea which rules out there might work for this. I really want to play it first person and solo and have (somehow) randomly generated Splicers coming across my path. The mission would be the same as in the console game. But of course I would already know NOT to harvest any of the Little Sisters, so i would have to build some other sort of uncertainty into the ending
