Homeboys......thugs......whateva man!
Ok my Ghoulish brother and sisters I am now looking for some thugish ruggush miniatures. Gangsta rap types... Plenty of sideways pistol action, shotguns .... Braids and afros... You know,.....shiznit Many thanks as always N :twisted:

Have a look at these. They're a bit " Cartoon" like for me but they look pretty damn cool when they're painted! http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Thugz.html PM

See what you mean. Bit pricey compared to the rest of the stuff they do as well. £8 for 4 miniatures is a bit steep for them? Sweet though.... Well done pappa M for being the first. Anymore my dead like friends?

obelisk miniatures have just brought some out too They are under the Gangstars range and would fit well with Tugz, I have ordered the Homies but when working out the price they are very expensive aroudn £12 including postage for 5 plus a dog. Foundrys street violence range has some Yardie types also skinheads. For some possible cheap alternaitives check out the MoFo and other Moghadishu ranges for some potential gangsters

sorry here is link for Obelisk http://www.obeliskminiatures.com/

I haven't seen those Obelisk minis before. Love the dog ! ( would make a cracking Zombie dog for RE type games). All these mini manufacturers I've never heard of before! I must be looking in the wrong place. PM

Obelisk is the ex foundry GW guy. If you check out the female pack there is a Yorkshire terrier which would be ideal for a Blade Trinity style vampire dog! I bought the Ral Partha dogs that are on PMP Dead Walk Again for use as zombie dogs. They are OK

hahh P, you read my mind....thanks LTD for that info. That first one is a right snoop rip off ain it?

I think that is why he is calling them Gangstars. It is Josef Ochmann who I think did the Aztecs for foudnry. I am hoping for some Hispanic types

Em-4 doesn't make the Thugz, they just import them, hence the price. The Gangstars match them for size and are nice figures. I got mine a week ago and haven't painted them though. There are also mini Homies if you want unarmed hispanics.

Lowtardog, can you crop your avatar so it's narrower so I don't have to keep scrolling left and right to read the threads please?

Will do Matakishi, It sht efirst time I got one to work :0) but it is a little large isnt it. Your thugz are awesome, thats the best paint job I have seen Many thanks Matakishi. On civilians and in a similar vein to your homies the lack hat Civilians look very good, cartoonish but nice

A great response!!! many thanks you lot. Matakishi...I'm loving the paint job and also their "lowrider"...

Got my Obelisk minis through the post today and I have to say I am very impressed. The photos on the we page dont do them justice. The poses are good, crisp and match the Bobby Jackson thugz very well. I think I will put it on TMP as he got a bit of a mixed response when he posted initially - we need more ganstas :0) PS Got my Bobby Jackson Gangs of New York figures through - just like Christmas hee hee. The only down side is I now have to sell off my 20mm Zulu War armies

Just a quicky the new Latinos form Obelisk are up on their site and are very nice, plans are for Japanese gantsaters next - woohooo http://shop.strato.de/epages/Store2.sf/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61074886/Products/%22GA%20003%22
