HeroClix Minatures

I suggest you consider getting some Heroclix figures by Wiz Kids. They are pre-painted figures on 1.5 inch bases. Although there are lots of superheros, they have gang members, policemen, scientists, Master Mind Henchmen and the like. Go to the Wiz Kid site and find what guys you want. Then go to ebay and find the ones you want for few bucks. Usually the 'commoners' you would want go pretty cheap. If nothing else they make nice NPC's.

If you do not like the bases, you can snap off their bases and then glue them onto inch squares. Just put them in the freezer for a half hour and then the glue will become brittle enough for you to snap the figure off the base.

Wow, there are a lot more than I first thought! I should have guessed Iron Wind had some, and the Shadowrun ones are pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks!

Hey, hang on a second before you whip out the credit card and start ordering online. The ShadowRun minis aren't all that mini. They're more like action-figure-sized. Decidedly not to 1" scale.

Fiery Dragon

If you're not dead set on minis, Fiery Dragon makes a modern counter pack that's got some good stuff in it.

I believe they are referring to the Shadowrun minis by Ral Partha/Iron Wind, which are 25mm.
