Torches, pitchforks, and more, oh my! The peasants are revolting! These characters often make an appearance in classic horror films and stories including miniature games.
Well, our mad doctor has finally done it. His experiments may have challenged the limits of scientific knowledge, but his methods have certainly caused fear to spread through the neighboring village. The townfolk are taking matters into their own hands. Here come the angry villagers approaching to air their grievances by force if necessary.
The Doctor would be well served to address the mob’s demands, particularly considering the many flammable chemicals his laboratory is filled with.
These plastic 28mm scale figures are ready to appear in many horror role playing games including pulp action and Call of Cthulhu. They can also be used to add an interesting group to your troops in tabletop wargaming.

Colonizing a new planet is not for the weak. In most instances it means long years of toil on the frontier of an untamed world. Sometimes colonists face aggressive native species; sometime the danger comes from age old clashes brought within the human community. New colony worlds can also become the target for roving space pirates intent on raiding small colonies for valuable plunder. The need for basic defense is common.
Often the struggling settlements possess only low-tech small arms because of the cost of importing and maintaining higher-tech weapons. In times of trouble, this group of colonists carries an assortment of slug throwers from handguns to shotguns.

The Cthulhu Mythos has lured many people to their peril. Here are four individuals from the 1920-30s becoming embroiled with the Mythos.
The reporter. Hungry for sensational stories to add to his byline, he is always on the lookout for tidbits with even the smallest hints of the occult.
The doctor. Drawn into the dark webs of experimental medical techniques, he finds himself entangled with knowledge better left unknown.
These 28mm scale painted resin miniatures would fit into any 1920-30s Call of Cthulhu™ game. They also can be useful in other Horror and Pulp Action table top miniatures and role-playing games.

In 1941, humanity made its first verified contact with extraterrestrials on Earth in modern times. The result was the creation of a secret worldwide network of organizations capable of fighting possible alien incursions around the planet. That effort evolved into Majestic 13 and is tasked with defending the Earth while keeping the existence of aliens from the public at large.
Select teams of operatives are maintained and dispatched to deal with extraterrestrial threats around the globe. This is one such team.
Armed with a variety of weapons, including some incorporating captured alien technology, they are our first line of defense.
The Majestic 13™ table top miniatures game is published by Snarling Badger Studios. It is a miniatures agnostic game system which allows you use any appropriate miniatures.
These plastic 28mm scale figures can represent your Player Characters or NPCs in many science fiction table top miniatures games and role-playing games including Majestic 13™, Stargrave™ and Five Parsecs From Home™.

As interstellar flight became available, Earth’s inhabitants journeyed beyond the confines of their home solar system. Most contact with new sentient species went smoothly and with little conflict. Unfortunately, the expansion sometimes fell short of noble intentions. Some Terran individuals, groups and governments brought with them age-old problems. Political interests, religious beliefs, racial/species bias, commercial greed and more caused friction in some interactions.
The League Against Terran Expansion (LATE) is a loose affiliation of diverse sentients who have banded together to try to stop the spread of Terrans in the galaxy. Mostly the members are individuals who harbor grievances against Humans.
More tenacious than organized, the tactics frequently involve hit and run attacks on smaller targets. Armaments tend toward the lower tech levels, although scavenged higher tech gear will make an appearance when available.
These plastic 28mm scale game miniatures are kit-bashed from multiple manufacturers. They can be useful in many science fiction games including Stargrave™ and Five Parsecs From Home™.

Sometimes you need to board another spaceship in the void of space. Or maybe you have to conduct a salvage mission on a world with an inhospitable atmosphere. You just need to don your vac suit to get on with the job at hand.
These three crew members are wearing light weight vac suits. The suits are orange for better visibility in darkened or obscured environs. Each suit has a scratch built environmental backpack providing basic life support.
The pilot carries a laser pistol. The technician holds a datapad and tool. The security officer is armed with a power rifle.
These 28mm scale miniatures can be utilized in many science fiction role-playing games and table top wargames, including Stargrave™ and Five Parsecs From Home™.

So, you are the captain of a small starship. You earn part of your revenue by moving cargo between planets. Consider adding some Cargo Bots to your crew.
These lower-tech robots can simplify the job of loading and unloading cargo, particularly for smaller vessels. Once given their instructions, they can be left on their own to complete the job while you and your organic crew perform higher priority assignments.
They are also very useful in retrieving cargo from derelicts being salvaged (or by the unscrupulous space pirate, to secure newly “liberated” cargo).
These game miniatures stand about 1-1/8 inches (28 mm) tall, including the base.

Reconnaissance of the battlefield has been an invaluable aid to victory since the dawn of warfare. It will remain an important factor in battles far into the future.
Introducing a small battlefield recon drone for your futuristic games. This unit can be deployed to investigate activity on the field.
Moving nearly soundlessly on whisper fans, it is capable of relaying a variety of data back to its home base or to soldiers in the field. The drone can determine the location and size of enemy positions, intercept both verbal and electronic communications, even sniff out dangerous chemical, biological or radiation weapons.
The drone is designed for 25-28 mm scale table top miniature wargames. The base measures 1 inch (25mm) in diameter. The miniature stands about 1-7/8 inches (47 mm) tall.

Introducing the Cult of the Red Hood! This group of evil cultists seeks to summon a demon from the nether world, known only by its common name Red Hood. The members can be identified by the black and red vestments worn during their dark ceremonies.
Here we have two of the leaders of the cult. Merdoc, the cult’s Grand Priest, wears the symbolic red hood itself. He carries the Staff of Red Hood along with an arcane volume containing the cult’s most secret rites. (This figure is a custom altered miniature.) Standing next to him is Avalin, the High Priestess. Her red hood is a badge of her role as the second in command.
Two Servitor Priests are also represented. Both wear red vestments announcing their positions. Brother Tomlin reads from one of the cult’s lesser tomes while Brother Bathor wields a ceremonial dagger used in the cult’s sacrificial rites.
These cult figures could appear in various miniature gaming settings including Fantasy, Horror and Pulp Action role-playing and table top miniatures wargames.

Scattered clouds scuttle across the dark night sky on a special Halloween night. Not only is the rare full moon shining in all its glory as the witching hour approaches, but the stars are finally aligned! It is time for the cultists to assemble and perform their ancient rite to summon an Elder God!
These cultist minions are decked out in their best robes and hoods to usher in a new reality of terror.
Some of the followers carry flaming torches to illuminate the evil rite.
Other members of the cult are armed to prevent any foolish interloper from interrupting the ceremony. They are armed with Thompson sub machine guns! Enough firepower to dissuade those meddlesome investigators from Miskatonic University who have been asking too many questions lately.
These 25mm scale miniature figures would make fine cultists in many pulp horror role-playing games such as Call of Cthulhu.
