Painted up some test figures for the different antagonist factions. One of my core notions for this game is that, in the 1930s just as much as the 2020s, Americans do not need to go overseas to punch fascists. So I've got three different flavors of historical American fascist for our heroes to beat up.
The Silver Legion (Silver Shirts) are probably the most interesting of the bunch; a brownshirts copy, but founded by a former Hollywood screenwriter who believed himself blessed with occult knowledge and magical powers. Largely due to the organizational incompetence of their leadership, they never posed much of a material threat in real life, but in a world where their founder actually has the supernatural abilities he claimed? We'll see.
One of the Silver Shirts is a Pulp Figures US Marine with a gs mustache, the other is converted from Warlord Games Anglo-Zulu War body, WW2 arms, and a Great Escape Games gunslinger head.
Being America's default white supremacists, The Klan needs no explanation. Although Superman was beating them up as early as 1946 on his radio show.
Pulp Figures cultist, and Gripping Beast Arab body w GEG arms.
The War of Independence reenactor-looking guys have a bit more artistic license in them... to the best of my knowledge, 1930s' nostalgia-flavored reactionaries never actually played dress-up like this, but since groups like the Order of '76 and the Paul Reveres were basically their era's Tea Partiers, I think it fits. The Bioshock Infinite villains are also an influence.
Warlord Games AWI with WW2 weapons.
Really looking forward to seeing these losers, and more like them, get their asses kicked by all manner of costumed adventurers!
