Villainous Thugs

In the ecosystem of superheroes and supervillains, the two-bit thug is an essential part of the circle of crime. Parasitic by nature, they latch onto stronger predators to survive. Here, we see four thugs that have attached themselves to Gingerbread (who got an accent highlight in her hair since her previous picture).

These models are from the Wargames Atlantic French Resistance 1940-45 box. They put me in mind of the classic henchmen from Batman: The Animated Series. Two of them have fedoras and M3 submachine guns. The other two have flat caps and pistols. Classic thugs. They'd also work well in general pulp games.

These guys are all done in browns and grays with no bright accent colors. They're not meant to stand out at all, so it makes sense. I wanted to put them on street bases (like Gingerbread), but the model feet are all on puddle bases, so I had to build up some Stirland Battlemire ground to hide them.
