Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) OK, so in my rough rider discussion I was inquiring about mini manufacturers. Here's the list I have so far: Anvil Industries Victoria MIniatures PuppetsWar Scribor Miniatures Dream Forge Pig Iron productions Mad Robot Miniatures Corvus Belli EM4 Miniatures Scotia Grendel Coppelstone Castings Four A Miniatures Hassle Free Miniatures Heresy Miniatures Mantic Games Prodos Games Ramshackle Games I'll go through my favorites and find links and edit this. I'd like to build a master list of third party model makers that might help folks out. If this has already been done feel free to purge this thread like a dirty heretic witch. edit: I'm going through the links provided, and in many cases just linking to the homepage, since the company might offer products that a player could find useful outside of normal guardsmen.

Brendaen Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Don't have link handy, but Mad Robot miniatures have awesome models. Most of my heads come from them. http://www.madrobotminiatures.com/zencart/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Heresey Miniatures have a nice range of troopers: http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_61&zenid=0049114f5341bd30738ab2d88553d4d4 As do Hasslefree Miniatures: http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=sci%252dfi-%26%0D%0Aweird-war~sci%252dfi-humans http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=modern-%26%0D%0Apost%252dapoc~modern-troopers http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=imperial-infantry-battle-suad~smim001&category=sci%252dfi-%26%0D%0Aweird-war~%2Anew-sci%252dfi%2A There are also some here (snow troopers) at Four A miniatures: http://www.fouraminiatures.com/page2.htm And a nice range of near future stuf at Copplestone Castings: http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW The Void Range for Scotia Grendel is packed with useful proxies: http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=59 ...as is their Kryokek range: http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=217_218_3_112 and their Urban Mammoth range: http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=217_218_60 Then of course, you could go cheap and visit Em4 for future skirmish: http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Future_Skirmish.html http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Science_Fiction.html That's about it for now... apart from Infinity by Corvus Belli: http://infinitythegame.com/store/index.php?f=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Wow Inso, nice contribution to the list, I'll add them at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Of course, it all depends on how particular about scale. How about slightly taller (30-35mm) troopers? Mantic have these: http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/corporation.html http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/enforcers.html And Prodos Games have these: http://shop.prodosgames.com/en/7-warzone With some proper marines here: http://shop.prodosgames.com/en/8-alien-vs-predator I proxy Dwarfs for my Guard... so you could go for these (Mantic again): http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/forge-fathers.html ... or these (Hasslefree): http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=sci%252dfi-%26%0D%0Aweird-war~grymn-light-infantry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is a good idea and we can use it to update the Astra Militarum Resources where there is already a post for alternative models You can also add Ramshackle Games for Rough riders etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks elmo and inso for the input. I guess I missed that part when went looking. Anyway, we'll keep this going, to make the mod's job a bit easier then. I'll get the new ones added to the list. elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcraigen Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hey! I was hoping one of you may be able to point me in the right direction for a large eviscerator "not attached to a figure, just independent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Gilbear Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hey! I was hoping one of you may be able to point me in the right direction for a large eviscerator "not attached to a figure, just independent" What about these? walter h and Silas7 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Nice list. If Frater are actually using these bits to build their own regiments, some painted examples (with bit lists) would be cool, too :) walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Anvil have just teased some new heads on Facebook. Look like pirate/napoleonic eras. Only showed 3 out of the 15 they said they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Napoleonic Shakoes! Oh dear god no.... It was a toss up between Pith helmet heads and Shako heads and I went for Piths because of a lack of good, well sized Shako heads. I've just "finished" my Pith regiment and now these pop up!? This is not good at all... I can't go making another Guard Regiment! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 This is not good at all... I can't go making another Guard Regiment! Why not? I've got four different regiments already (not counting Scions), and I'm looking at Tallarn and thinking that I'd love to get some! :D Vel'Cona and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'll think of some reason to add them... I might replace my Veterans Pith Helmets with Shakoes maybe. Or they can be my Inquisitorial acolytes perhaps... I'm confident they'll get half decent rules at some point, maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye252 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hi, I know this was mentioned in another IG post from years ago, but I've found http://www.stevebarbermodels.com useful for heads. A little small but they do the trick with some green stuff. Excellent historical ranges with Napoleonic and ACW heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchverr Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I assume this is the most appropriate thread to ask about it, empire of men has released a 3d render of their super heavy tank, dimensions are akin to a baneblade i believe. approximately 5x9x3 inches Would chaps say it fair to proxy it as a shadowsword? Other varients it can work as usually, just the shadowsword, being arguably the best is ofcourse a big part of the usage. walter h and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hm, not sure... the general shape is fine, but the double cannons are kind of off... not sure if itd make sense as a shadowsword. Maybe a different variant though? Banesword maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman2160 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 You could always use it as a Macharius Vanquisher or Macharius Heavy Tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Perry miniatures has a lot of horses, and they are 28mm, although I think they are not heroic scaled. You would have to convert the rider to be a guardsman, but the horses are available relatively inexpensively in 3 packs from their website. They also have packages of "light calvary" that could be converted easily, 12 horsemen for 20 pounds. Edited November 24, 2017 by micahwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I ordered some "regiments" squads from anvil. Is shipping really going to take 2-4 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
