they have also got a nice hunting horror..

Mi-Go (and aliens in general) are something we're kicking around for a future expansion (probably Shocking Tales #5 or so). Nothing is actually written yet though - just some rough ideas rolling about in our demented minds.
For Mi-Go, I'd always envisioned a relatively fast model with low CON, very weak attacks with a high CC bonus, limited flight capability, and of course access to some unique alien tech, which they'd rely on fairly heavily to have any success in combat. Would love to hear what you guys imagine them to be in game terms.

There's nicer somes at Fenris games...

Sorry but true! ;)

Can imagine them being fairly week as in the Lovcraft story just one guy with dogs held of a bunch of them. So tech would be the way to go I think.

Was digging through my folder of highly experimental (ie. untested) rules earlier, and it seems I did actually write down some ideas for aliens a while back. Here's what I had for a basic Mi-Go:
Fungoid (Mi-Go)
| M | Dex. | Con. | A | W | Res. | Skills |
| 6 | 4+ | 4/6 | 2 | 1 | 4+ | Hideous |
Weapons: Pincers (C.C.B.+2, Dam.D+0, AP1)
Special: Alien (aliens are not affected by Psychology)
Ether Wings: Equipped with wings capable of carrying them across the vast gulfs of space, Mi-Go are unaffected by terrain when moving. Additionally, they are immune to all movement-reducing effects.
Surgical Precision: Injuries caused by a Mi-Go attack are rolled at a +1 on the Injury Table.
The Jar: Instead of automatically removing a Face Down model as a Major Injury, a Mi-Go may remove the victim’s brain. The brain can be recovered by removing the Mi-Go carrying it from the table.
This has never been playtested, so I can't speak to game balance or an accurate cost. I'd guess at around 5BP based on the stats, but this should most definitely not be considered an official model profile.

Maybe, although I prefer the RAFM designs myself. The modularity of the Fenris designs is a plus, but good lordy, they cost four times what a Black Cat one does. Mi-go aren't Big Boy Mythos monsters, you need a bunch of them, so cost means a lot more than it does with singular critters like Dark Young or Dholes. I can see why no one else has bothered to try a modular mi-go in all these years if the production costs are so high.
-
I think Fenris migo are excellent, but when the cost is an issue, one should consider Mirliton, probably the best value for money:

You get what you pay for mate in sculpting quality I'm afraid.
Anyway agreed re: Grenadier night horrors Mi-go, I've got three, nice little classic minis. If you're in the UK, or even if you aren't and don't want to pay italian postage rates get them from Tim at miniature heroes.

Actually screw that, forgot that Doug has them in for £1.75 a pop!!

Oh, I think these are former Metal Magic minis. Not quite the same as Grenadier. I had not seen them, but since this line has the coolest servitors of the outer gods ever and some really nice Byakhees, I'd say they are worth a try, specially at this price.
-
Well as Doug was Mr Grenadier back in the day I think you'll find both there.

They are slightly small but very nice, made for 25mm scale if Im not wrong. Got a few of them.

No :( Have also tried to get the old Grenadier Deep Ones off him before now but he doesn't answer......although he does to most other questions!!

Think Mirliton sells them.

I got them off him at salute a few years back from the 50p bargain bucket.
