Friends, I am needing some help. I am looking for he right figure in 15 MM to go with mostly Peter Pig and Essex figures for a set of HotT armies based on the book "Fiends of the Eastern Front".

The figure I am trying to find is a WWII-ish looking officer in an officers peaked hat, sort of along the lines of a British general say, but also wearing a cape, and if possible a cap with a high standing collar.

I have been searching and searching and so far have had no luck finding such a figure and I am hoping someone out there may know of a figure I could use. If so and you'll let me know the source I am quite happy to order one. My alternative is to try and add the cape to a British or similar looking officer figure, but I'd rather not have to go that route.

Thanks,

Terry

Kind of remember one in one old glory pack, German in coat and cap. Not 100% sure.
You might look at ww1 staff, if boots and great coat, might not be too far off.

You mean a menacing evil looking gestapo officer or the like. That would be good if there was a weird war range with all the stereotypes.

Off hand the closest I can think is a pulp character mini from rebel minis.

But he's a civilian meanie.

Other than that. Green stuff.

Yeah, I have found those and actually have that pack from rebel. But this is to be Captain Constanata, and thus a vampyr so he needs a voluminous cape with the high collar as per the description in the book.

As a last resort I am thinking of using one of Splintered Lights Wraiths figures with the wind swept look (second from the right)and changing the head to one in an officers peaked cap, and adding boots at the bottom. Right now that is my leaning unless I can find a really good figure to use. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but it can work.

CP miniatures has a nazi vampire, but he is 20mm. Maybe he towers over his minions?

It was a fun comic.

Jakar, yep, that's him!

Greek Geek, great lead,and yes, I do not mind him being a bit taller as I sort of see him that way anyway. I can get that figure and another with a peaked cap and create a very good Constanata figure. Thank you!!!
