Alright so I'm selling my Bauhaus army(120 men) because they're OOP now..(don't mistake this as a sale post, I was just mentioning I wanted an army that's able to keep uniform that's not GW)

I'm not asking for anyone to buy it here(I'll do that in the market section) but I was curious for some help please since I've done some searching already.

I checked on, but they're out of stock

then I checked these guys:

But it's only 8 men for $16 USD something and they don't look to be customizable.


and I don't precisely like the $29 USD+S&H from GW, or $32 USD at my local stores for 10 men… makes fielding blobs difficult.

so any help please?

Brother Vinni has some nice female guard but a bit pricey and come from Russia.

Mithmee28 Oct 2015 10:52 p.m. PST

What type of uniform?

If you are looking for something that is nearly the same then go with some Colonial British from Wargames.

Or see if their Dreamforge figures would work.

Or check out Mantic Games Warpath.

Sorry to say that their Kickstarter for it end earlier this month.

Those Greatcoat Stormtroopers are still available from many retailers at a very good price , would they not suite your needs ?
I have combined GW IG plastics with these to make some great alternative for Bahaus , the arms and heads all match up fine and putting extra webbing on the greatcoat bodies goes a long way to making them look very combat ready. cheers Tom

You could also try Scotia Grendel, they hold VOID 1.1, Urban War and Metropolis miniatures… as well as Kryomek Nexus troops which are perfect guard 'counts as'.

If you want really cheap guard, try EM4's range of plastic troopers.

Puppetwars have a nice range of troopers.

Anvil Industries also have a nice range of troopers in their 'Afterlife' section.

What about Wargames Factory? Don't they have a nice range of plastic great coats. Including heavy weapon squads to add in the mix.

I'd go for the Dreamforge Eisenkern, at least for your heavy-armor Guardsmen. Probably Wargames Factory for the greatcoated troopers. They should be back in production as of November 1, 2015.

The lack of stock for the shocktroopers maybe due to the shift to Warlord stocking WF products, also explains why they have gone up in price also (to match up with Warlord prices).

about the bauhaus, they're OOP(for the plastic 80 man packs)thr great coat troopers, I just saw war store's links(I hope they have loads in stock…) I want a large army of them!

I'm looking for large amounts of soldiers for less cost.

I forgot all about the Warstore, thanks, any other great coat/German styled Infantry suggestions that are $1 USD for 1 or $1.50 USD for one? don't wanna do $2 USD for 1 or anything more unless it's elites(which I'm going the Dreamforge Stormtroopers for that)

Mardaddy29 Oct 2015 7:01 p.m. PST

Sindri, if you are looking for more of those OOP Bauhaus at a steal… email me. I have extra both built and on the sprues I am wanting to shed cheaply.

I think I'll continue getting Bauhaus, and I'll start getting Greatcoat troopers(so if I have a friend who wants to join me in Apocalypse games, he can act as a co commander of another IG force)

with Eisenkern Stormtroopers being used for, Stormtroopers for Greatcoated army. and Hussar's being used as Stormtroopers for Bauhaus.

Sindri05 Nov 2015 10:45 p.m. PST

So, any other suggestions? Bauhaus aren't gonna work apparently.
