The Shadowrun mini's game died a long time ago,in large part due to the fact that the mini's were ridiculously big. My buddy has some,and they are 6"-8" tall if I remember right. Because of that,you had to build terrain specifically to that scale in order to play.

My suggestion would be to look at mini's from the Necromunda and Infinity ranges. There's also probably mini's from the Ral Partha and Soda Pop lines that would work.

Well lookie there. Iron Wind Metals still makes all of them.

186 different listings in the catalog.

The iron wind metals are the Ral Partha original figures for the game (and for its stand alone combat game DMZ).

The large figures came later, post the FASA crash and were an attempt at the clix crowd - and a bid to get the action figure collectors in as well.

lol, i think he means the ones from 10 years prior to those large scale toys made by ral partha IIRC (and now sold by iron wind as linked in the previous post). they had an official line of metal minis during 1st and 2nd edition shadowrun but they frankly weren't all that good.

aw.. there isn't enouth ork characters, only 2 or 3.

Well, looks like i have to use paper or warhammer to make minis for the game.
