"Figures we are sadly lacking" Topic

We will never be in the Golden Age until we have the following figures:

28mm Walmart shoppers. I particularly want the obese ones straining the motor on the Jazzy carts. When the zombies attack, you don't have to be the fastest. Just not the slowest.

Your turn.

28mm Dirty Dozen.

And a 15mm comprehensive range for Italians and Abyssinians for the Adowa campaign in 1896.

In the 17th and 18th century: A wide array of train and civilian farmers, townsfolk, tradesmen, and wagoners. Field blacksmiths and working sappers and pioneers would also be nice.

Latin American Soldiers ALa "Bananas" for a 3-d Junta Game

Character packs for Peter Pig's 15mm Sudan range

Pulp miniatures in 54mm.

Painted ones, preferably with their own convenient storage facility.

15mm WW1 schutzrupp and Askaris for East Africa

Here ya go Winston

Not exactly what you called for, but it's a start.

George "I'm on R&R" Martin, sitting on a pile of half-written books, calmly blasting away at rabid enraged zombie fans. All scales.

C'mon. You know it would be a bestseller. Even if only half finished.

The golden age, if be describe as having all the figures any gamer would ever want for any type of game or conflict, will not happen until gamers are willing to part with their money at two times what GW is now charging….

28mm Walmart shoppers. I particularly want the obese ones straining the motor on the Jazzy carts.

I could put some on Jazzy carts and Weasels. But I'd rather put on or two on a real weasel…

Shrinky-Dinks. Figures I can paint at 40mm, pop in the oven for five minutes, the pull out as 15mm painted to the same standard.

As far as current technology goes … Momchil & co.

28mm Iraqi Army, Iraqi insurgents and Saddams Fedayeen for the 2003 war.

28mm Calusa warriors. 28mm Timucuan warriors. 28mm Mississippian warriors. 28mm Puebloan warriors. Women, children, elders and men in peaceful occupations for all of the above. I need them to oppose my Conquistadors. I know I can proxy in Iroquois in wooden armor and various naked guys with bows, but I want purpose-made sculpts.

Did I hear you say 'brave but hopeless native resistance'? Let me remind you that Ponce de Leon, Narvaez and De Soto were all defeated by the Calusas, Timucuans and Mississippians, and none of them survived their adventures in La Florida. The Puebloans drove the Spanish clean out of New Mexico and kept them out for 12 years.

I want warriors!

28mm Regency Civilians, including Zombies.

Oh, and Peter Pig modern British :)

10mm WW1 cyclists.

catwomen on the moon figures

Females in short dresses for a scenario based on movie The Viking Women. Some voting by throwing spears, others with swords, and one I can paint up as the token Nordic brunette to use as the priestess.

Grelber

I have been waiting 10 years for Old Glory to release the Wild Bunch figures the had in their catalog for many years.

etotheipi – when my son was 10 (now 45 and still gaming) he would trace figure catalog pictures on to shrinky dink sheets, color and cut out and shrink. He had hundreds of such figures. Mostly he liked Goblin Tooth miniatures.

Buffalo soldiers. Artizan has a few on foot & Dixon has one mounted. It's time someone did the rank and file troops that played a major part in bringing the Indian wars to an end.

28mm Kiowa, Tonkawa scouts, Maroon Seminole scouts, Delaware scouts, escort wagons, ambulances, & an ambulance configured as a coach.

Soldiers from the major world war 2 armies surrendering, running away and cowering in fear.

Useful for morale and suppression markers.

Seminole females, children, old people and civilian settlers as well.

Late Byzantines for the siege of Constantinople

Elaine? Monday Knight produces a full line of 25mm Buffalo Soldiers:

I happen to have half a dozen of the mounted, painted up in my collection, and they're pretty darn good figs. They're big 25s and would probably mix with your Foundry, Old Glory and Conquest Indians.

Foundry have a pack in their Old West line specifically labelled as Delawares, but they're only on foot, no mounted figures:

17th/18th Century Plains and SouthWest Indios – somewhat similar version of the kind of thing Zippyfusenet asked BUT in 15/18mm.

Puebloan peoples, Navaho, Zunis, Apaches, Comanches, etc. Armed for the period – No revolvers or repeaters! Peaceful villagers. Mission Indians, including some armed militia types.

15mm/18mm Soldadoes de Cuera, Priests, Spanish colonists, 15mm/18mm Presidials.

Downed Pilots and aircrew with scrounged weapons. WWI, II, fifties, '60's.

Boer Valkyries on horseback

Crazy Horse and warriors with captured Gatling Guns.

Ringworld/Halo section for spaceship gaming.

Armed Gemini/Agena and Vostok/Soyez spacecraft.

Original Ocean's 11 crew. (Sinatra, et al)

All of Bonestell's/von Braun/Ley/Sanger spacecraft and stations, hardsuit astronauts.

Those purple haired moon personnel from UFO.

Turtle Ships and other Korean/Japanese/ Chinese ships

Mute Bystander, I suppose you know that some of the figure types you pine for are available in 25mm/28mm, and you prefer 15mm. But how committed are you to that scale? Did you know there are a number of sets available in 1/72 that could fit into the Hispanic Southwest? Soft plastic, to be sure. I collected some of the sets myself, but finally decided that 1/72 is one scale too many for me. I could post a topic on what's available, if you're interested.

The Bob Semple Tank.

Only seen home made ones in museums (managed to contact the guy made some 30 odd years ago for instruction set).

Once we have model kits for the mighty Bob Semple Tank I will then accept that we have come a very long way.

18 mm Black Troops, Union, ACW, Blue Moon!!

Seeing as approximately 180,000 served it's kind of hard to understand why the only ones available in the 15/18 mm arena are those produced by Stone Mountain which are now a little dated!!!

What do you say, Russ?????

Tmp members in 1:1 scale

ooops already available

Colombian Muisca in 15mm.

Zippyfusenet,

Completely dedicated to not adding another scale while I try and rationalize my storage space usage. Terrain is a big driver – I really want to unload my moderately extensive 25+mm Southwest buildings but not until I have the above mentioned figures in 15/18mm.

Mute Bystander, you're too rational to be a a wargamer. Please let us know when you 'unload' any of your collection.

Every armoured vehicle ever put together in 5 minutes by The A Team.

Mute Bystander, I can't resist showing you the Dover cut-and-assemble Pueblo Village set, in 1/72:

link

It would be perfectly populated by the Peagsus Mission Indians mixed with some of the Imex Eastern Friendly Indians, both sets in 1/72. But I'm sure it will also work for 15mm figures, once someone produces an appropriate line.

28mm War of 1812 American mounted artillery team ideally variations of early and late uniforms plus mounted light artillery with horses, limber and gun.

Or at least the mounted gunners variations, so that one could buy a separate French artillery horse and gun team from an established maker, to completed the set.

Carthaginian Sacred Band to my exact specification, Sards in old-style 25mm and Corsicans ditto

Okarians (yellow skinned Barsoomians) with the proper features, clothing & weapons as described by ERB.

16th-17th Mughal Cavalry in 28mm.

John Waynes – Union Cavalry and USMC uniforms. You could do a 20mm version for FoW etc.

Laurel and Hardies – for way out west, north west frontier and as generic '20s civilians; someone already does their Foreign legion incarnations

The Gauls and Goths and Huns and Romans done in the style if late Victorian illustraters. Everybody is lounging about with perfect buttocks or spearing babies. In our sophisticated times we have "more accurate" illustrations to base figures on. But I would love to see these. With their five inch thick iron shields and fierce moustaches.

Djenges Khan eating FDR, with tiny toons characters waching in horror.

Post-Han/Three Kingdoms Chinese. I mean seriously, have you even READ "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? It reads like it was written by a wargamer!

Another vote for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese ships of the Imjin War in a small scale.

Crimean war zouaves, correct ones in 28mm. 2 Russian soldiers holding an Orthodox Icon…. Crimean war. Capt Nolan with his left breast ripping open! Casualties casualties casualties, highlanders in trews. Melee poses, clubbing stabbing thrusting grabbing. Ragland and Cardigan screaming at each other ( on foot )

28mm WW2 British/Commonwealth infantry/support in cold weather gear. Specifically greatcoats and leather jerkins to cover November 44 through to April 45.

3 Stooges Civil War/ 28mm
