Does anyone have any ideas of what to use for a mini for the The Aberrant Promethean snce it is Huge sized? Most I have seen are large-sized flesh golems.
Yeah, it's hard to find good models for huge sized creatures that aren't dragons, especially something that will fit a creature unique as the Aberrant Promethean. You may just have to improvise an appropriate model from another table-top game. I myself plan on using a hematite skull that's about the right size.
Other than that, improvise a huge sized base and put something on it like a lump of sculpted play-doh around a crab shell. Heck, cover it in dead spiders. Build your own monster; as long as it looks disgusting then you can't go wrong.
TL DR; put something appropriately disgusting on a huge sized base.
It's doesn't help that the only picture of Aberrant Promethean is quite a shabby one. I thought that he has spider legs, but from his statblock nothing seems to imply that (no bonus to CMD against trip), not to mention that he doesn't really seem that much bigger than the Beast.
Shame, really, there's only six chapter bosses throughout the AP, it sucks when one of them isn't up to the quality.
I'm considering using either the old CoC miniature for the Bloody Tongue-aspected Nyarlathotep (which is about the right scale), or the old Birthright/Ral Partha mini for the Awnsheighlin known as the Spider (which debatably may be a little too small and has no tentacles, but has the whole centaur-spider thing going for it).

Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 all have significant mid-book bosses that represent a change in plot-arc. (Though 5's midboss is kinda squishy.)
What about the numerous headless creatures in the various chapters. Anyone have recomendations on what to use for figures at the gaming board/map (medusa heads, headless this, headless that, etc).

get a bunch of action figures and pop their heads off ;)
I'm planning on using the Draegloth Abomination from Lords of Madness.
It basically looks like a gigantic, four-armed, demonic, drider-like monster. With the spidery legs they share, it's a pretty good fit. The outstretched hands of the Draegloth's upper pair of arms are also a good stand in for the crab-claws of the Promethean.
You could try the Yuan-Ti Anathema from Against the Giants too, if you wanted to invoke the rubbery, tentacley-ness of the Promethean's aberration parts (particularly the choker bits.)
Not since the Whispering Tyrant’s confinement have we seen necromancy so dark as that which was used to raise this thread from the grave.
Anyway, if the timing’s right, I’ll be using a Spidicule figure from the Kingdom Death: Monster Kickstarter for the Promethean. I’m unlikely to receive the figure before Christmas 2013, but my group is switching over to less frequent games for a while, so it might work out. If not, I’ll use the Gorm, which matches the concept less well, but makes up for that in freakiness.
I also used the Draegloth Abomination, and repainted him completely to give him a 'Patchwork Flesh-Golem' look. I took too cloaks off some medium sized minis and melted them between the arms for the 'Cloaker' effect and took the pinchers of a Clawborn Scarrow (drow Xen'drik drider from Eberron, but think Scorpion)and replaced its main arms. Worked really well, and freaked out the players.
Ha, nasty:)
