Minis for Modern?

[Saracen]

Does anyone know if there are any plans to produce some minis for D20 Modern? It seems that Modern will be as reliant on them as DnD is for things like attacks of opportunity, etc. Yet there don't seem to be any readily available.

The only place that I know of that has any thing coming is Steve Jackson Games with a modern line of Cardboard Heroes, but these are still, "In Production."

What I'd eventually like is a decent set of minis for the main characters and then some Cardboard Heroes type counters for the cannonfodder and enemies.

The minis I like to use are the low level HeroClix figures (thugs and such). They're pretty generic and can be used for lots of different NPCs...

Without doubt the best set of figures for D20 Modern are the ones provided by Wargames Foundary

Next would be Mark Copplestone's Future Wars

Pre-painted and a reasonable range try EM4 Minatures

I believe Fiery Dragon have a Counter set.

erm... there are probably some more I could dig out but that should keep you going.

I found some good 28mm ones on EBAY from a guy in the UK.

Reasonably priced and good rates on shipping.

I'll try and post one of his auctions when I get the chance.

There are a couple wargamming companies casting some great modern combat minis. If you need 28mm Marines or Delta Force, these are the companies to go to.

Love miniatures, suck at painting, can't afford a ton.

As Bagpuss has noted, we've released a Counter Collection specifically designed for D20 Modern, so you'll know that it includes pretty much everything from the core rulebook. And more, of course.

Samples can be viewed at Claudio's gallery here.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled miniatures chat...

VOID from I-Kore

You could also use the VASA Militia from VOID,a Sci-Fi Tabletop.
Look here:
I-Kore

If we ever get to do a D20 Modern campaign my char will be represented by one of those minis.

Cheap Modern Minis

I made two dsicoveries a while ago which have provided me with a very large library of cheap, no-painting necessary minis that work very well for a modern game.

The first was board game -- Star Wars Epic Duels, or something like that. Pick it up at walmart or the like. In a $20 game you get something like 40 star wars minis -- including a stack of stormtroopers, etc.

The second is gumball machine stuff -- specifically Homies, a collection of Hispanic little figures that are just about the perfect scale and make great minis for a modern game. There are something like 6 or 8 different sets of homies, each set has about 10 or 20 different characters. So there's a lot of variety.

I also use some other gumball minis -- i've found, for example. some little brightly colored nija figures I call ninja-tubbies that make great, if someone comic, goons.

I was really impressed with these guys until I saw the "Feisty Elf Nymphs."

Homies Rule! While I have never used them for gaming, i find them oddly compelling, and I just have to buy a few whenever I pass them.
