I've been trying to find a specific single figure I remember seeing on both ebay and a manufacturers website a while ago – but having zero luck with trawling through company webistes and ebay, and not getting far with my googling skills for images and webpages having forgotten who it was manufactured by. I thought it was a Reaper or RAFM Pulp mini – but apparently not.

Mini is a seated human male, sighting a sniper/hunting rifle, with (I think) one knee slightly raised. Figure is wearing a bush hat, and I think an alternate was available with a differnet head/hat option. From memory the figure was in a pulp or modern range, but was I seem to remember quite generic and could be used in multiple periods and scenarios. I'm looking for it to use in zombies / apocalypse / SF gaming.

Long shot I know given what I can remember, but any pointers on the manufacturer greatly appreciated.

I think it maybe by Black Cat Bases, base ball cap and boonie hats available, that empress set is nice though.

The Black Cat snipers (Agent/Special Force/Investigator range).

Thank you all!

Yes it was the Black Cat Bases figure – don't know how I lost the website off my favourites bar as I've ordered from them before for several different ranges (can especially recommened the 1700-1730 RN Officers).

That said – I think I may need to pick up the Empress set and the Infinity Bakunin mini as well as they all immediately give me ideas of how to use them in game.

Just gone and had a look at the Empress site – and discovered the 'Modern Combat' range.

My wallet is going to hate me for this…..
