BigJackBrass Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 For the first time in far too long I've been painting some lead miniatures. Specifically, some of the Silver Age Sentinels line from Reaper, which paint up rather nicely even with my meagre skills. That particular line isn't very extensive, however, and most of the other supers miniatures I'm familiar with - Marvel and Golden Heroes, for example - are long out of production, so I'm left wondering if there are any others, licensed or generic, still being made. Can anyone help with this? I'm also very interested in finding a suitable miniature to represent Mr. Matthews, the scarred scientist from Silver Age Sentinels, without too much conversion work, so suggestions and places to look would be much appreciated.

proditor Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: Miniature Heroes (and villains) We really need a super minis sticky, this gets asked like every other month. Okay, your first stop should be Bill Keyes' excellent article, "Miniature Hero" in Digital Hero #12. Bill pointed out a lot of places I hadn't thought of at the time, and it's an invaluable primer for any Supermini collector. A quick look at the sample article should get you started if you're leery of dropping the dinero on the issue outright. http://www.herogames.com/digitalHero/Samples/dh12miniatures.htm Beyond that, we should also include the link that Steve put on the Pulp boards. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it'd have its own forum and people could go there for help with customizing all their minis to Hero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, add +1/2 Hardened x2 to cover multiple sealent coats.

wagnern Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: Miniature Heroes (and villains) To do supers you have to pull from a large variety of minature lines. Have a power armored hero, check out Icor's VOID line, also GW's Warhamer 40k does have some cool bits if you look closley Have a egyptian themed hero, Crock Games has a cool line. Gun guy, check out Void, Warhamer, Street Violence, and so forth. Now since supers tend to be quite unike, to get your piticular super you will probably have to modify some Also, remember that WisKids Heroclicks figs can be painted and easily modifyed with a hoby knife and superglue. And you might be able to get a lot of em cheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wraithe Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Re: Miniature Heroes (and villains) Superfigs has a pretty good line of superhero miniatures. http://www.fourcolorfigs.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
