General Sci-fi...

[Peter Kris]

I am currently working on a Post Apocalyptic tabletop fantasy game with miniatures and 3D terrain...it involves characters vs. zombies, biker gangs and redneck hillbilly factions like the characters from such movies as (The Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and other such movies).

 

1. My characters are covered by Reaper (great selection of figures).

2. My zombies are covered by Reaper (great selection of figures).

3. I have 1 redneck figure (Bobby Jo with rifle).

 

I am seeking information on where I can find biker gang miniatures (rough looking with weapons) and redneck hillbilly figures to go with Bobby Jo, again with weapons.

 

I am seeking contacts in USA (only)...metal miniatures...28mm.  

 

I welcome any/all suggestions and tips.

If you search Reaper's web store for the term "biker" you'll come across a few more.  There are also a modern weapons pack and a 20th century weapon pack for conversions, if desired.  Some of the zombie hunters or zombie survivors might also fit your needs. 

 

I don't know of many places still working with metal these days, let alone in the US.  But if I think of more I'll post.

You might try Iron Wind Metals.  Some of their Shadowrun miniatures might work as bikers.  They might be a little too futuristic for you, but it's worth a look.  That said, those are mostly recasts of old minis, so they are likely to be closer to 25mm rather than 28mm.

Just off the top of my head

 

For bikers -

     In metal - copplestone castings has a few

     In hard plastic- Warlord has some biker sprues in their project z game.  I just ordered a few sprues from them on clearance.  
     I think there are some Reaper Bones biker figures (or almost any chronoscope Bones) and those are always good for some conversions.  
 

For hillbillies -

     In metal- Blue Moon manufacturing (thru Old Glory) has some hill billies.  
           Copplestone might have some hillbillies or rednecks as well.   
            Brigade games - I think also have some hillbilly minis

     In hard plastic- maybe some of the Warlord project z civilians

     Again Reaper Bones Chronoscope could give you good sources for conversion.  
 

Copplestone is not an American company or Warlord either, but I think both could be sourced through American stores or evilbay.  
 

Converting Bones figures is a lot of fun and I think could give you some good variety with head and arm swaps.

Thank you...appreciate the tips.   Prior to my posting, I had checked out both Copplestone and Blue Moon...neither had anything that I could use and Copplestone was not a US company.  Some years back, Old Glory had a great boxed set of metal redneck/hillbilly miniatures...but I can no longer find them (checked them out prior to posting also)...

You might check out the VanRyder Games "Final Girl" series of horror game figures.  They are plastic, but from a US company, though made in China.

Old Glory/West Wind had a game called Road Kill. It has a good amount of bikers, including a 10-pack on motorcycles. They also have vampires and werewolves on motorcycles, if that's your thing.

Hasslefree Miniatures has a good selection - unfortunately they're based in the UK...

Wargames Foundry has a metal street violence range that has most of what you're looking for. 

 

Unfortunately, again, they are uk based, and I couldn't see a US reseller. Still worth a look for ideas
