Cits

A few of Si Peggs inhabitants. I use mainly Mongoose's own GoMC1 miniatures of which the plastic gang set is excellent but for various reasons (chief amongst which - I'm pretty lazy when it comes to painting and most are with a miniature painter getting repainted whilst I continually change my mind over colour schemes...) here are some of EM4's excellent prepainted gang members. These are pretty fantastic for pre-paints and they have 2 sets (each of 5 miniatures) that are suitable for gangs as well as one that is useful for citi-def/pri-sec members.

For extra 'cover' and just to add scope to scenarios we use rebased Heroclix and Star Wars miniatures for civilians and robots. All these figures, along with the rest, will be rebased to 23mm washers. Having flirted with the 30mm display type bases I've found even the standard 25mm plastic bases too big for use inside buildings as well as adding a little too much height to the figure.

Most of the Heroclix figures are pretty.... 'imaginatively' dressed and there is a definate gender imbalance in favour of the ladies. To demonstrate, this particular figure:

was the one that prompted my wife, upon viewing it, to label wargamers as perverse stating 'no-one would wear THAT.' Actually the exact term she used was pervert wierdo freaks (hey shes known me a long time) but as I have experienced Sunderland on a Saturday night I would probably beg to differ on the availability of women to dress in such a way.

Anyway, they work well with most 28mm figures and their clothing on the whole suits the Mega-City style.
