For ruffians, I thought quite a bit about what miniatures to use. They are supposed to be armed with only pistols and knives, and are the lowest level of pirates you can encounter. I ended up deciding on some space goblins available for free from Thingiverse. They are sculpted by an artist named VidovicArts and are full of character. Following some inspiration online, I decided to give them blue skin, as some sort of aliens, rather than go for the more GW-inspired green.
While each pose is unique, they are variations on a couple of different poses, usually with goggles, grenades, or knives added.
I also 3D printed the bases, collected from various sets of miniatures I have.
Here is a gobbo compared to my standard cyberpunk size comparison character. They'll serve as vicious little minions.
I also printed these grells, again free from Thingiverse. They fit the description of tanglers from Stargrave, which are just small creatures with a lot of tentacles. I just reduced them in size to be smaller than humans, as per description in the bestiary.
Here is one compared to my standard human. I like the simplicity of the design.
I'll be painting up some more pirates right away, mainly the more heavily equipped types.
