Looking for Predator and Alien Stand-Ins


Miniatures


For anyone interested, there is an alien vs. predators boardgame kickstarter going on. I looked at it and it is really tempting, but just too pricey for me.

But it got me thinking about any stand ins for official aliens (xenomorphs) and predators that are out there. I noticed that Reaper has knock off Terminators
Cyber-Reapers

But I couldn't really find good stand-ins for either Predators or Aliens (they have a few guys that would make good hydralisks though).

So has anybody seen any that would be a pretty good match?


A couple years ago you could have grabbed the actual Predator and Alien Heroclix.

Probably a few floating around. Ebay and miniaturemarket.com have some but they are pricey.

If you aren't too picky about a perfect match, you could try ebay for tyranids and genestealers. Even horrible paint jobs will dissolve after a soak in simple green.


I've also been looking for some alien miniatures for quite some time, but there's none to be found except for the Heroclix versions. And as Jody wrote they are OOP.

So I was quite happy when I found that kickstarter. I don't think I'm going for the whole game, just a few xenomorphs and face huggers.

Predators are easier to find. I can't remember the name of the company but I've seen a few versions (nothing stellar). They might have been 15mm, but I don't think so. I'll see if I can find a link.

Predastore probably. Swiss company irrc.


Looking for somethings a little more in my price range, I found:
For Predators
Alien Hunters at Copplestone Castings
INAPs at Aintsy Castings (I think these come in a clear plastic, so might work for cloaked predators)

For Xeno-Morphs
Alien Homphage at Reviresco

Well Aintsy Castings isn't carrying the clear plastic INAPs anymore thanks to the kickstarter. Looks like I waited about a week too late to order some. In other news, I picked up the alien homophages and the alien hunters. I'll post some pics once I get a chance to paint them up.

Heresy Miniatures discontinued their Hurn as well.


I have a bunch of the Copplestone hunters, and like all of the Copplestone stuff they are about 22mm - 25mm scale and look really small for Predators next to anything but other Copplestone, Foundry or Hasslefree figures.

They are nice sculpts, though, and I do like them.


Well they look like the same size as a Reaper Bones space marine. Of course being the same size, means they are actually small for a predator. But they don't seem out of scale if you don't expect them to be larger than humans.

Looks like it is now $13, which is still a relatively good price given you get a predator, alien drone, and alien queen, plus an egg sack and several eggs that could be removed and rebased if someone wished. Heck one heroclix predator is easily going for $14 in most places.


It is a pretty cool set. :)


I will try to get some better picture up (my cheapo phone camera has a hard time with small miniatures). But here a quick view of some of the alien homophages mentioned earlier.
