size comparison is not a problem, but what do you want me to compare it to, don't have that many different makes.

From a Doctor Who perspective I'd go for Crooked Dice, Hasslefree and Heresy.

Given they are Space Lizards the scale shouldn't matter that much? On the grounds that you could just say that the lizards are either taller or shorter than humans!

Saw these mentioned in a magazine last year. Love the look of them and had them on my list of wants since then ... I fancy seeing them fight my Hydra Miniatures Space Girls!

Will talk to my sons and see if they want to get into their first Kickstarter ...

My first thought was that they look a bit like Star Trek Gorn.

I have no idea what I'll use them for - probably Dr Who or similar.

How about using them as Kleggs from 2000AD?

Have you considered arming any of the fantasy lizards in a Greek or Egyptian style?

(Mainly the shields I suppose)

May be handy for 7th Voyage players....

Hadnt really thought of it, the shields have various feathers on, to give me a bit of Mayan look and shields are made from turtle shell. So I suppose if its just a case of shield change, might look into it. Like the idea of middle kingdom wooden shield, in fact more I think of it, crocodile god Sobek, there is some potential here.

To be fair, I had wondered if there might be a chance of a figure with kopesh and Egyptian shield to use for Wargods proxy forces.

Greek armour and hoplite shield (or maybe Persian?) for 7th Voyage etc.

Kopesh isn't a problem, once decided on shield design and size, may move on this. Greek maybe but not yet

Opinions will vary, but Im only interested in sci-fi lizardmen from this KS.  I would rather that the focus remained tightly on sci-fi lizards than branching out into fantasy.

You are dead right, we have gone off on a tangent, need to open this on the fantasy bit.

Well regardless of me coming across as militant about thread topic, my main interest is actually that the Kickstarter is focused on sci-fi models rather than fantasy.  If the possibility of adding some more figures to the KS came up, then I would very much like them to be compatible sci-fi lizards rather than incompatible fantasy ones, if you see what I mean :)

Regarding comparison photos a modern Games Workshop Space Marine is usually a pretty good bet.  However people may feel about them a very large percentage of hobbyists own or have owned a few and close to everyone around here has at least seen them.

No not militant just dead right. Talking with my sculptor about a command and character pack, but he is snowed under at the moment, so that will probably be another kickstarter, I could make promises but don't like doing that, so everything is a maybe, until its listed.

As for comparison photo, space marine is a good idea except I don't and have never owned any GW products, except my dwarf army, and that isn't going to help much. Will look in the loft and see what I can find.

Sorry for diverting the thread.
I've already backed the KS but noticed that there are already fantasy versions, and I wondered if they might get any extras in the same way this KS is expanding the SF.

For SF, how about a technician/science officer/equipment crewman/comms officer etc?
Possibly carrying an i-pad/tricorder/tv remote control/mobile phone or what-have-you, and possibly with a weapon slung on back or side.
