Title: Harks, Harkilions, Alien Legion miniatures? (crab-like aliens)
Post by: Bloodaxe on December 17, 2017, 03:00:47 AM
Im looking for some 28mm miniatures to represent Harkilions. A crab-like alien enemy of the Alien Legions.  I cant find anything suitable, so Im looking for some help.  I'll try to include pics to show what Im looking for.

Thanks. I'll have to look. I need multiple,  with guns!
I may just go 15mm if I can't find some good ones. I already have the Khurusan Jasmine throne for Alien Legion anyway.

CP Models makes a terrific range of 28mm scale Alien Legion inspired figs, with even more creative and varied designs.

Yup, I have them. I have CP models Alien Figs already. Its not the Alien Legion figs thats the problem- its finding good 28mm Harks.  :)

Ah, okay.  Here's a thought for kitbashing then.  Take this guy as a base:

(https://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/77324_p_1_rb.jpg)

and add extra arms, maybe from a duplicate model (they're only $3 a pop) or the upper limbs from this guy:

https://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/demon/sku-down/77307

(https://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/77307_w_1.jpg)

Although he may be too big to mesh - and he's over $6.  Or maybe use these instead for the smaller secondary limbs:

https://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/kulathi

(https://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/80042_w_1.jpg)

Plenty of arms on the three variant sculpts of those, both with and without tech weaponry, and they're dirt cheap (barely $2 a figure).  

There's also a new-ish plastic umber hulk sculpt in the Pathfinder range that might do as an alternative base model, at $5per fig.

That help any?

I was about to suggest Foundry's T'lekkan range, but can't find them on the site. There's nice pics on this blog. Maybe ebay might provide!

Ooh, I forgot about the Mantic stuff.  Those would probably work really well.  Pretty cheap for kitbash fodder, too.
