Suggestions for Humans?

Post by lawquoter »

I'd like to do up a new Human team in Metal, but I don't really like the ones GW has to offer for BB. I've got the ol' plastic Humies, but when I painted 'em, I was really, really crap. Now, I'm more or less just crap, and think I could do a better job now that I've got a few painting techniques down. :D

Any suggested for decent looking ones? I wish I had 2nd Ed, but I don't. So any conversion suggestions or even a Non-GW line suggestion would be great. :smoking:

I suggest converting a human team out of plastic...use parts from the plethora of GW regiment sets out there. They provide enough options to make lots of teams with different looks. Sometimes you can get these sets for a good price on ebay.

My next project is a Japanesse themed human team made out of Hundred Kingdoms, Clan War, Reaper and Phigs miniatures. Should look good when I'm done.

I said Phigs actually. :D Unfortunately there are only four poses. I want a little bit of variety. But I will definitely be using Phil's stuff. I love his products.

You might also want to look at the Perry Miniatures range of samurai. http://www.perry-miniatures.com

I got as far as converting a couple of throwers, then put the team on the back burner when I realised that samurai minis are tricky to paint because of all the armour details.
