If you look at the pictures near end of this link you will see the sizes of those sculpts- hopefully it helps!

Thanks :) they look like they'd make a decent alien pest for 15mm armies...

Dammit... I'm supposed to ba saving money this year!

...Pendraken have these Giant Worms


These are a clear nod to the old Necromunda Milliasaurs btw...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Bit late to the party but Brigade Models do some Giant Slugs. They are meant for 15mm but I use them as bugs in 28mm sci-fi games

I did a batch of the Alternative Armies Asgard LSDs/flesharons way back in 2018, which you can see on my blog over here:

https://brokenstarsburningships.blogspot.com/2018/01/rogue-stars-science-fiction-skirmish_7.html

At the time those were all the fig available, although they've put a few more sculpts back into production since then.  The photos might help with scale, and you can marvel at the stats for them in the (sadly) mostly-forgotten Rogue Stars rules if you like.  :)

Rebel Minis also has some stuff on their store that might be worth a look.  The little guys on this blog post are just one possibility.

I think we have a winner with Alternative Armies. Some good options there.
It helps that a while ago I was looking at a couple of bits on AA but not really enough to warrant an order, but this definitely pushes it over the edge.
Thanks, all - much appreciated.
Cool. I sculpted the sand worm swarm for them. :)
I really like the Pendraken ones.
