I'm sure that this has been addressed before, but just incase I'm wrong, I'm going to bring it up again.

I Thnk we need some office Shadowrun miniatures. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm tierd of having to substitue some generic mini for my orc sami or troll shamman. Have you ever tried to find a dwarf figure that is either not carring a beer mug or dressed in armour carring an axe.  Hummans are easy, as there are alot of companies that make modern day or near future human mini's.

Just my two cents worth. Please start a Shadowrun miniature line.

Thanks.

Most Urban Minis will work RAFM Minis makes a good line.

[Critias]

Not for nothin', but some miniatures are available as one of the reward updates for the Shadowrun online kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964352341/shadowrun-online/posts

Which could, at least, tide ya over for a little while.

As much as I'd love to see an official mini line come out, as noted above, there are a number of good sources out there.  Links to previous threads on just this topic:

Didnt go through AJ's links, but you are aware that Ironwinds metals still has/sells alot of the orginial shadowrun minis, right?

I'm torn on the Ironwinds.

On the one hand, legit Shadowrun minis!

On the other hand, their age shows, and they're at a true 25 mm scale instead of the more modern 28, so they come off as kinda tiny.

Wonder how hard it would be to beg, say, Reaper into a joint operation?

They are dated. But they are right for the game.

How hard? Depends on Cataylst wants to do. So far the partnership between paizo and reaper is doing very well. Those models are sweet.

I have used my mechs to be makeshift minis. *yay cross-product fun*

I could see an Unseen Phawk, Wasp or Stinger standing in for runners. And an Unseen Wolverine for a Security Guard in heavy armor.

Reaper has a new line, chrono something.  Tiny bit sci-fi for their marines (who still make good corp security in full body armour), but the characters, with their tech, trenchcoats, hand guns etc, look like excellent runners.

They're ok. A few here and there are good. Overall not particularly, in my opinion.

I was thinking about the ones that come with their kickstarter:

Hadn't seen that one...very nice.  If that isn't based on a SR character, not sure what would be...

[ThePolo]

Hah. This topic comes up all the time... I wasn't a big fan of the old official SR minis, so I've been using alternatives for years. I use a mixture of old VOID, Warhammer 40k, a few old SR miniatures, the occasional Dark Ages minis and other random crap for my games... basically any time I go to a gaming store I keep in mind what I need more of (opposition, mostly), and buy accordingly if something catches my eye.


Characters and Corps are easy, I've had problems finding good 'bulk' Yakuza and Gangers... and Trolls are always a tough find.

Other manufacturers/lines to look at: Chronoscope (by Reaper), Wargames Factory (if you like a LOT of assembly time), MERCS, Hasslefree,  Heresy Miniatures, Infinity(awesome, but expensive)
