We played a game of Weird War II in which the one player played the Germans and another played the Russians in Berlin 1945 and the third played played a Yautya hunting both sides. Great game and the Yautya went home with several Germand and Russian heads for his collection. It was hard pressed to get those trophies because they were shooting the Hell outta him but his cloaking device and sheer hunting skills allowed him to get the trophies he wanted.
Not sure what rules you use but I wrote some rules for the Yautya for the Battleground WWII system and you can check them out over at my site. Might give you some ideas for using them in your gaming.

TAG, in the Vietnam range have some special forces guys who would look good up against the Predator.

woh! :mrgreen: thats actually a very interesting idea, ill note it down :wink: ( im lovin kong vs the nazis btw hehe) http://www.heresyminiatures.com/hm012.htm was thinking i might use this guy and some of the starship trooper range , . because the game weve decided to play involves a group of unblooded yautja ( if your familiar with the yautja mythos you should know ) goin on basically an initiation test to some back water planet filled with hostile creepy crawlies and big beasties that just want to tear them limb from limb :wink: should be great fun

For figures TAG do modern Brits and Yanks, Foundry and Copplesotne for near future (including yardies). Killer B Games (Geezers) for 70s gangsters etc.
Other gangs again Foundry street violence range, also Obelisk gang bangers
Ebay for giant crabs, heres one, lobsters too. Also wotrht looking at the Pardulan Scorpion cast from a real one :o

Visit a dime store or a toy store and buy a cheap plastic crab. A quick basing and repaint, and voila, you have your giant crab.
