The debris-strewn urban landscape appears to be devoid of life in this post apocalyptic world. But every soldier knows that silence never guarantees safety. So our squad of troopers stays alert, their weapons held at the ready should any threat suddenly appear.
These battle-hardened veterans carry an assortment of automatic weapons.
They each carry a full load of equipment including plenty of extra ammo pouches.
An integral com set and targeting computer is part of their visored helmets.
A rotary multi-barrel, belt-fed gun provides heavy firepower for the unit.
This squad can be used in many military roles in science fiction games ranging from interdicting alien invasion forces to mopping up zombie hordes of the walking dead!
The end of civilization came quickly, creating a post apocalyptic world where death floats on the winds. Deadly radiation and toxic bio-weapons threatens to make most of the surface unlivable.
This soldier carries a radiation sensor, attempting to map out the boundaries of the rad zones. He wears a sealed CBRW (Chemical Biological Radiation Warfare) environmental suit to protect himself as he scours the ruins.
Civilians also have adapted in order to survive in the polluted world. Respirator masks have become the absolutely top dress accessory. Without one, life is both painful and short.
This fellow has managed to acquire a double-barreled shotgun for protection against predators (human and otherwise) that prowl the devastation.
Finally, this survivor carries a military assault rifle.
These 25mm-scale game figures can be used in a variety of game worlds including post nuclear war, pollution gone wild, alien invasion, and zombie plagues.
Taking a moment’s respite from combat, this warrior hold his preferred weapon, a long-handled two-handed war hammer, in his right hand. Intricate runes decorate the head of the hammer. He has taken off his horned helmet to cool down.
The fighter’s armor consists of studded leather. A sturdy animal skin cloak hangs from his shoulders.
A longsword hangs in the sheath at his hip.
The sculptor has captured a nice look of determination on his bearded face.
This 25mm-scale fantasy game figure could represent the leader of a small barbarian war band.
The mid Twentieth Century was the golden age of science fiction when space travel became a possibility in the minds of millions around the world. Through the pages of the pulp magazines and paperback books, on the giant silver screens in movie theaters, and on the small home television tubes, men and women ventured into the great unknown of space.
Today’s miniature presents a classic science fiction icon in the form of a female space trooper.
As with so many of the early renderings, our heroine wears a tight form fitting uniform, which at least is less revealing than some of the space suits depicted in a less enlightened age.
Unlike many of the weak, defenseless female space travelers who appeared in the early stories, this female trooper possesses a more independent, aggressive personality. Her facial expression shows a sense of self reliance, her body language indicates self assurance. Certainly the large ray gun she carries reflects her ability to handle herself in combat.
This game figure is sculpted in 25-mm scale. It could appear in any science fiction role playing game or miniature war game set in a classic sci fi setting.
Reduced to a skeletal form and risen from the dead, the lich represents a powerful and evil undead creature. This magic user called upon very dark powers to undergo his transformation.
The wizard still carries his staff in his right hand, using it as a focus for summoning arcane powers. But he holds his most treasured possession in his left hand, the magical vessel that contains his life force!
His body has been ravaged by his dark magicks, leaving only its bare bones. His clothing has deteriorated into rotting shreds. Yet the glowing points of light in his eye sockets hints at the malevolence of the wizard’s spirit that remains.
The lich strikes terror into the hearts and minds of all adventurers of fantasy worlds. The fearsome darkness of the soulless creature is well captured in this 25mm scale game miniature figure.
Robots filled the pages of the classic pulp magazines of the 1930s. Mechanical creations could be found invading the Earth, threatening humankind, and generally eliminating the universe of its organic pests.
Here is a wonderful gaming sculpt that looks like it stepped out of the pages of those early pulp science adventures.
Although there is no facial expressions on the robot’s head, the steadily glowing electronic eyes (along with the large ray gun grasped in its hands) sends the message that it is not a friend.
This game miniature is on a bit of larger scale. It stands about a full 2 inches (50 mm) from the base to the top of its metal head. But it still works with the standard game figures. Here is a size comparison with a 25mm scale figure of Doc Savage (another fine example of pulp goodness).
The robot could be an invader from outer space intent on conquering another planet, or the product of an Earthly mad scientist’s designs for world domination. Whichever, it would make a nice classic addition to your game table.
When exploring new worlds, searching for ancient tech among the radioactive mutant lands, or just servicing the old starship in deep space, it is is usually advisable to do so in environmental safety. Here are two adventurers wearing classic space suits.
The full-body envirosuit is made from a reinforced metallic fabric and comes with a hard helmet.
Armed with a small hand gun, our explorer holds a tool carrier in his left hand.
The suit’s environmental equipment is housed in the large backpack.
Our second spaceman appears to be performing security rather than any technical function.
He is armed with a power rifle of some sort. The rifle has a targeting scope and is powered from a tank strapped to his side.
A sidearm is holstered at his hip.
These 25-scale miniature figures could readily appear in a science fiction game including Traveller™ and Gamma World™.
Dwarf characters appear in many of the fantasy based role-playing games and appear on the battlefields of miniature war games. Here is a trio of adventurous dwarves who have chosen to leave their underground bastions to seek glory and treasure in the greater world.
Our first adventurer, and possibly the group’s leader, wields a battleaxe as his primary weapon of choice. He is outfitted in a complete suit of armor consisting of both chain and plate mail, along with a horned helmet.
His shield bears an intricate stylized dragon design.
He also carries a small war hammer and dagger on his belt. In addition, he comes prepared for a long journey with a backpack, bed roll, and pouches (plus a fine drinking tankard).
The group’s next member is less ornately dressed, but is still ready for action. He carriers a mighty war hammer which he easily wields with brawny muscles.
He holds a round shield in his left hand. The shield is embossed with a fire-breathing dragon.
He wears studded leather armor augmented with chain mail.
Third, but certainly not last, is this female dwarf adventurer. She is armed with a sturdy short sword.
In addition to plate mail and leather armor, she has a shield for protection in combat.
Her long hair is braided down her back to avoid interfering with her sword work in combat.
Dwarves tend to associate with others of their race both at home and on the trail. This party of adventurers could be found in most fantasy settings.
Caught in the midst of battle, this knight slices the air with his large two-handed sword. The sword has a large green gemstone embedded in its guard.
This fantasy warrior is dressed from head to toe in a full set of golden plate mail armor including helmet.
He carries a shield strapped to his back should he need it, indicating that he is sufficiently strong enough and possesses such proficiency as to be able to wield the sword with one hand. The shield bears a dragon’s head motif.
The details in this 25-mm scale sculpture is quite nice as is the action pose. He could easily assume the role of a noble knight in any fantasy campaign.
From the dark South American jungles, to the desolate Arabian desert, to
the high peaks of the Himalayas, our action hero leaps right from the
pages of the 1930s pulp stories. Ready to defend the world against evil
tyrants, criminal madmen, and tomb-robbing cultists.
He is armed with a semi-automatic pistol and a bullwhip and sports his famous fedora hat.
This 25mm scale figure is just one that tries to capture the look and personality of Indiana Jones®. I believe it does a nice job of reflecting Indy’s determination in battling evil-doers. It would be a nice character figure to appear in your pulp action game.
