Does anyone know where I can pick up some relatively cheap Civilian models that would fit into a 40k setting. I have a campaign planned and need civilians for some of the missions but i can't seem to find any searching online.

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

I know gw don't produce any such miniatures so i am looking for either conversion ideas or third party stuff.

I know they have dead space marine models and some dark eldar sex slaves lol... Not sure if that helps

I think you might find them in places like Perry Miniatures, by typing search words like "peasant" or "civilian". Here are a couple that might work:

AO35 Peasants 1
AO36 Peasants 2

O Scale railway minis are ok. Not exact but good enough and plastic O Scale civvies are cheap as chips on EBay, etc.

If it was civilian survivalists who'd manage to scrape together a few weapons, Necromunda models might work?

Wargames Factory Apocalypse Survivors are a little too heavily armed and modern rather than sci-fi, but could be a good basis for conversions.

Any unarmed figure in long robes would work. Try searching for monk, priest or cultist figures.

EDIT: a few from Hightech miniatures which work for AdMech plus one noble/navigator...

Awesome man! think you've found everything i need, thanks a tonne

There are also some actual Monks from Wargames Foundry, who could be "40k-ed up" if you like:

http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/ancients/civilians

and some Mega-City 1 civilians from Mongoose Publishing:

http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/citizens-of-mega-city-one-2.html

Any of the Tech-priest, Magos, servitor, etc, miniatures would also work with weapons removed, or the Astra Militarum Regimental Advisors and psykers. Ursakar Creed would also work, too. There were once some Warhammer Empire civilians - a merchant and scribe, an entertainer and dancing bear and a pair of duellists - which would also do, if you can find them.

Empire millitia can work, as long you stike to bare heads/hats (no helmets), and chop the weapons off the hands (maybe you can keep some, even civis can have simple weapons after all)

Will get repetitive after more than one box, but how many civis do you NEED? because this will make 20.

Do note, this will represent the poor people. not sure how much most IoM factions will bother saving them.



This kit is also what I recommend for cultist conversion (just add gun bitz, and chaosify by flavor.)

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Empire-Flagellant-Warband also works for the REALLY low class, and cultists.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Empire-Crossbowmen can be used for higher class people with the fancy hats and all, but will require more parts and work due to pose.

Aren't the Empire Free Company figures going away?

I know you've found what you need, but I'd have searched for "2000ad" models or Paranoia, depending what you want.

Not that I've heard of. Where is this coming from?
