Hey,

The title is pretty self evident. Where can I find a suited mini?

Thanks,

Blap

EDIT: Forgot to say, 28mm heroic scale.

EDIT: I also need either an urban militia or barechested torso piece.

**SoloFalcon1138**

Suited for what? Deep sea exploration? a formal ball? Jungle combat?

**BlapBlapBlap**

As in, a suit. A formal suit.

**darefsky (Flight Medic Paints)**

Heresy has a few like that. The one that pops most into my mind is the Dr Who one (its a David Tenant).

**Riquende**

What sort of suit? Standard office attire with a tie? Morning suit (waistcoat and cravatte)? Tuxedo?

Should the model be doing/holding anything in particular?

**BlapBlapBlap**

As a hint.

**EleanorUmbra**

why don't you convert one?

**BlapBlapBlap**

Because I thought I could take out some of the hassle. I'm going to change it anywy, I just need a base.

Plus I'm not that good with putty.

Hasslefree has a bunch of non-com types as well as someangster types. they are proper 28mm rather than heroic, but they might be of use?

the closest i can find though i think the scale might be slightly off.

**winterdyne**

Black Scorpion minis, Wild West range. Doctor, I think. Possibly an undertaker. Or both.

Hasslefree
Heresy
Wargames Foundry
Scotia Grendel
Copplestone castings.

Male or female?

**BlapBlapBlap**

That actually looks really good. All I need to do is fiddle around with the arms and sway the head and I'll be golden.

Thanks!

I think I found the perfect mini from Copplestone. Thanks to all of you!

**carlos13th**

EM4 miniatures.

**Kilkrazy**

Crooked Dice have a couple of them too.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Sorry, I just also need either an urban militia torso. You know, ragged, tatty clothing.

**Sean_OBrien**

Scavengers from EM4/Copplestone.

Various Roadkill figures from West Wind.

Some choice figures from RAFM's Modern Day Heroes.

There are literally dozens of different companies - though if you are just looking for a torso, chances are better than not that you will need a razor saw to hack it out of a complete figure.

**Kid_Kyoto**

A few cautions about scale, what minis do you want to use it with?

Copplestone is on the low end of 28mm, more like 25mm and will look like kids next to GW minis.

Warzone is on the high end, more like 32mm.

I of course once tried an army that mixed Copplestone and Warzone... it did not go well.

Reaper is a bit bigger than GW but not much. They're usually a good fit.

As for bare torsos, both Catachans and Chaos Maruaders could fit, though they are both in the Conan rock hard abs model.

You can also check Reaper for words like Post-Apoc, Survivor or Zombie Hunter for a while slew of armed folks in ragged clothes.

Pig Iron do a great range of rag tag scavvy types.

**Empchild**

Gorgon studios has the bootlegger range which is pretty good.
