dei1c3 Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I am wondering where (on-line or in the Seattle, WA area) you all get your miniatures for use with Champions? Ideally, I'm looking for a decent selection of semi-generic heroes (maybe a caped, un-caped and brick for each sex) as well as a few guys in business suits (corporate types are the true villians, heh heh) and goons (uniformed as well as plain clothes). Any thoughts? Thanks. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHooligan Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Earlier threads have discussed using Heroclix as Champions minis and I have to report great success. There are hundreds to choose from and are available rather cheaply if you don't care what the point value is. I've made figures for all of my players and npc's. I use an X-acto to cut off the Clix disk and Zap-a-gap to glue them onto Citadel round bases that fit into 1" hexes. I've also had success with using Sculpy to make capes and such. Let me add that I have no real artistic talent and a DEX of 7, but with the exception of a careless near-amputation, it's been super easy. If I can get this digital camera to work, I'll post a few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? Thanks. Chris Here are some suggestions Plastic minis, cheap and great selection- Heroclix as mentioned above provide a wide variety of superfigures for ver low prices, there are also some nice "side line figures" such as police, swat team members and various agent types. Here is a service I've used to order individual clix, no problems with them at all. Ikon distribution http://www.iconusa3.com/online/HC_MIC_singles.htm Metal Minis, not as cheap but more durable, don't tend to warp in heat There are two nice lines out. The first is Superfigs which has a very nice and extensive selection of common Genre types. Take a look for yourself here Superfigs.net http://www.fourcolorfigs.com/catalog.html The other line is Lance and Laser's Living Legends line of minis, They are more specifically detailed and less generic but also come in a nice variety. The only problem with this line is that half are in a slight 25mm and the other half in a bolder 28mm scale. The lesser ones can look a little puny. 25mm, running at about $2.50 per 01010 F.I.S.T. 01011 Mercury Mercenary 01012 Temper 01013 Vulture 01014 Bull 01015 Shrew 01016 Evergreen 01017 Enforcer 01018 Dreamweaver 01019 Manta Man 01020 Blizzard 01021 Laserfire 01022 Mocker 01023 Hornet 01024 Shocker 01025 Mace 01026 Stormlord 01027 Marionette w/Mocker 28mm, running about $2.95 per 01028 Shatterman 01029 Condor 01030 Omni-Man 01031 Gauntlet 01032 Black America 01033 Shutterbug 01034 Napalm 01035 Frigia 01036 Knight Owl 01037 Nemesis 01038 Rapidfire 01040 Dr.Micron w/Mini Dr. Micron 01041 Flexo-Man 01042 Aquarena 01043 Mouser 01044 Americana 01045 Bluejay 01046 Gazelle 01047 Maxima 01048 Motivator 01049 Titanos 01050 Chess Agents (Dove & Knight) 01051 InterCrime Agents (Assassin & Power Infantry) Nemesis is a generic female, sans hair, rapidfire is a generic male sans hair. Lance and Laser, see the pics for yourself http://www.lance-and-laser.com/ There are a few other options such as digging up a set of Grenadier licensed Champions figures but they can be hard to find and expensive. as a cheaper option Steve Jackson Games is re-releasing a set of Cardboard heroes: Modern heroes, which will likely include supers and other modern figures.
