Thought this was the best board to post on ? But I recently stumbled across the trailer for the forthcoming movie 65 where a man piloting a ship hits an asteroid crashes and him an the only survivor a girl find themselves on prehistoric earth .
An I thought what a cracking idea for a game ?😂
It also certainly seems to make the idea of a feral planet on 40k more plausible .

I just watched the trailer, damn! Thanks for highlighting that this movie exists! Could you adapt a Stargrave setting? Q37 has 'monsters' - a crew lands on an uncharted planet and off you go! Lasguns vs Dino's - every man childs Christmas wish :D

Wish you good luck with your idea.
Thanks for the heads up about the film.

I think that a prehistoric Earth would be a lot easier to populate that unknown “Deathworld” fauna.

And cheaper. Even the really cheap, plastic dinosaurs can look pretty good with a quick paint job...

I love the idea! Dinosaurs vs Lasers is just too cool!
And about the models: here’s another +1 to cheap plastic/runber toys. I bought some for my 15mm VSF/Pulp collection and depending on tje factory painting you can go quick with jist a wash, some highlights and details (that was the case woth some pretty good rubber toys I found in a pound shop on Guernsey) or a quick full paintjob.

Dinosaurs are so versatile that you cannot go wromg!

I've recently been drawn into The Drowned Earth (https://thedrownedearth.com/), a postapocalyptic setting with dinosaurs (yeah, don't ask, but the premise is really cool lol ).
The dino miniatures are really nice metal or siocast models and not overly expensive either (although nothing beats Euro/Pound/Dollar-store toys for price, obviously).
Also, some years ago I did up a set of Tamiya Raptors for use in a game, and they were well detailed and pretty cheap too; you get 6 to a box.

I have a bunch of plastic dinosaurs in the loft, along with some baby ones that were released at the same time as "Walking with Dinosaurs" a few years ago.
For rules, Saurian Safari, which is Victorian dino hunting. Not sure if it's still in print
I think they're now out of print (I bought one of the last copies from the author on here a few years ago), but Dinoproof is a set of modern dino hunting rules.
I really don't need to be diverted into another sub-genre, but I may already have just about everything I need for it, so technically it wouldn't be a diversion ;D
The film trailer looks good, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
