'Barbarism is the natural state of mankind,' the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. 'Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.'

The Expanse Rpg. Miniatures?

The quick start presents the rules from a "Theatre of the Mind" perspective. They do mention miniatures and how to convert speed onto a grid scale, but this isn't Savage Worlds. However if you are like me you like miniatures and an excuse to buy more is a good thing!

At present there are no official Expanse miniatures. There are of course various sci-fi and near sci-fi collections out there. I made an attempt to go out and find a few of those and categorize them into areas they might fit into the universe of The Expanse.

This is far from a definitive list and most links will take you to whole collections of similar figures. I also realize these might not be the most ideal miniatures for your vision.

If you have some others you think would make awesome Expanse figures drop me a comment!

  1. Hey man, just look at Batman Miniature Game minis. They look fantastic, some characters look like taken out from Expanse universe. It has the decent gritty, sci-fish look (I bet - especially with custom paint job). They are also superb quality and slighty bigger then standard (35mm) - I like it tho. Multiverse versions might be cheaper.
    You, for example, should look at:
    Blackgate Prisoners
    Scarecrow's Militia
    Constantine (cut the flying skull and glue him a weapon instead)
    some Joker's Clowns (unpainted they look like "usual" sci-fi punkers/gangers)
    Some Pinguin's Thugs
    and many more!
