Anyone know of any alienesque type miniatures? Looking specifically for some that could pass as a 4 armed alien type critter.

D&D Mini's has a Xill. You can get him on ebay for about 2 bucks.
Here's the little fella.

Sweet. Those Tyranids are perfect.

Thanks.

Horrorclix has some nice minis that I've used in my game, but specifically they have some Alien and Predator minis that look pretty good. I haven't looked at all of them, but you might see some that you can use. http://www.wizkidsgames.com/horrorclix/ ... allery.asp

How do the Horror Clix compare in size to other minis?

I saw a few that would be pretty sweet for what I'm doing.

Comparable. My shambling one armed zombie is about the same size as Regdar - while the CThulhu is a little bigger. So like others, they vary. I wonder if the Horrorclix site has sizes somewhere?

Thanks Rhu.

Now I've got several options for what I'm planning.

Mwuahahahahha!

Oh yeah, and the base of the mini is bigger and has stats and other markings, I guess for their rules. We just ignore 'em. Not sure if that would bother you or your players. Probably could black marker or sharpie them out.

I definitely will. I'm assuredly stepping into the realms of unconventional with it, but oh well.
