Cyclons? Check
Marines? Check
Resistance Fighter? uhm…

So I need to get some resistance fighters (webisodes and Season 3) for my BSG 28mm games. It'd be nice if they also doubled as the organized crime syndicate in the Fleet.

Checked out TAG's mafia but they just don't seem right.

Any ideas?

What are you using for Marines and Cyclons??

For Marines I'm using TAG Swat. The weapons are close and the uniforms are bang on.

For Cylons, the Star Wars miniatures have a few that look virtually identical. Got about 50 off ebay relatively cheap.

For the Cylons, it's probably the Star Wars Super Battle Droids from the SW Miniatures game.

How about Urban War militia for the resistance fighters?

Remind me please, what are the resistance fighters supposed to look like exactly?

The ten webisodes (scifi.com), Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance, show resistance fighters as irregulars, basically dressed in civilian clothes or bits and pieces of uniforms. Also see Season II episode 'Resistance'. Google Images has some pictures.

How about the urban militia or scavenger figures from the Future Wars line:

If you are using TAG SWAT as Marines, then the Urban War Militia might be too advanced-looking:

As Joekano says, Copplestone figures might be the way to go, either the ones now sold by EM-4 or the ones on the Copplestone Castings' site:

If you want more females in the group, add some of the following figures to the above suggestions:
