i'm looking for backpacks for my guard. something like a bedroll or general gear, whatever.

the packs on the guard heavy weapons sprue are outstanding but i just dont have enough of them.

do any of you know of any alternate sources like another army's line of minis or an alternate vendor?

i'd order from battlewagon but the number that i need is making me cringe spending that kind of cash.

Do a search for 'shockforce' on Ebay (under miniatures). There's a guy (Shockforce Warehouse I think?) who sells packs of 28mm-scale backpacks (in metal) there. I got two packs from him for an aborted Cadian project, but they match up nicely, and were insanely cheap.

Agis Neuebauer (sp?) used them for his Copplestone Future Wars figs; check his site out to see results.

Hope that helps.

thats awesome, thanks!

i found aegis site http://www.agisn.de/index.html but no pics of the backpacks. from what i see they look great but the scale is the only thing that worries me. i think i may have to take a leap of faith and get some.

The 80 pack give you 80 backpacks. 40 of each type.

Half them look like this.
