Mini designers I 'd really like some minis with blunt / exotic weapons


Miniatures


I wish we could have more blunt weapons (hammers morning stars and so on) and other exotic weapons. I mean almost all weapons are blades everywhere. Except for the ol' dwarf with an axe and occasionally a hammer well i have a lotta troubles finding characters with blunt weapons.
One of my player is a mace dual wielder inquisitor and well I have found it impossible and found just a single inquisitor mini with a mace.

Now come on stop doing the standard sword stuff and try doing some exotic weapons, hammers, guisarme, net, bolas .... you name it.

I have zillions of warriors with swords and for the rest almost none.


A dual wielding inquisitor sounds really specific, what about moding one?


Doesn't happen to be a female dwarf, I suppose?

Major LH. I gotta tell you, I'm no pro at the minis modding game, but you wouldn't know it by some of the sweet modifications I've pulled off with pre-paint minis, superglue, some paperclips, a decent pin vice, and a little greenstuff or modeling compound. I've turned a horde of those cheap DDM kobold slingers into polearm-weilding mini-murderers. I've swapped swords for rifles and staves for maces. I've turned warhammer skaven into plague mask-wearing cultists. Tons of stuff like that. It's fun, cheap, and really doesn't take much skill. Trust me. Grab the closest mini to what you're looking for and think about what you can do to make it what you want!


As folks seem to be advising, if you care about getting the details of PC minis right you really should consider modding. You can get a lot of very cheap (often used) minis online. Chopping parts off one for use on another is fun and effective.

I've also got some old plastic sprue frames of spare mini parts an old acquaintance gave me, and they are quite useful. The set includes all sorts of weapons and shields plus capes, heads, and arms (often complete with wielded weapons). I'm not sure where the best place to get such stuff new is, but I the stuff I have was produced by Games Workshop (though back in the 90s)
