Ideas for space hulk miniatures replacement.

[Figouze]

Hello !

I have the boardgame space hulk v1 (I think) without the miniatures.
I don't like the space hulks and genestealers miniatures.

Have you some ideas to replace those miniatures with something in a more pulpish style other than Alien movies ?


Thank you !

These could replace the Terminators (the APE suits):

Or these:

I'm not sure what you want from the aliens... if you want pulp how about werewolves or something? If not what about something like these:

Namely the Mawes, Lesser Mawes, Kiergi or Mesaan.

If you can provide a little more information on the direction you want to take then a few more ideas may come forth

Thank you for your ideas. It may be good in a weird war style.


I am looking for something more pulp, more friendly for the youngest.

Maybe Hydrissians:

or Mephalians:

Blue Moon's Aliens & Spacemen might also provide something useful:

Golgo Island Zorgls are not too offensive and not too expensive either:

Instead of Terminators you can use basically any models with guns, flamethrowers and some sort of close combat weapon for the sergeant. Hydra Miniatures makes some nice pulpy retro-SF models:

Also, if you could source enough of the plastic Daleks and Cybermen that came with the Doctor Who adventures magazine, you could do, er, Daleks vs. Cybermen!

(Cybermen as Genestealers and Daleks as Terminators, I'd say)

Also Doctor who minis with old style cybermen and daleks from

I guess, for a cheap and no painting option, you could get a bunch of these chaps:-

Deep sea divers Vs fishmen!

Interwar squad of deep sea treasure hunters explores a derelict or sunken ocean steamer.
Fishmen and Deep Ones are relatively easy to find: http://www.frothersunite.com/files/rob/Fmsc/Fmsc1.htm

Deep sea divers in submersible suits are a bit more difficult. Reaper, Brigade games and one or two others which I don't remember the name at the moment. Otherwise various pulp/Weird wars power armour could work with little effort.

EDIT: looking for 'submersible' on google images, on the second row I found my very own conversion a terminator deep sea diver on this forum! http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=14879.0

Those ideas are wonderfull, thank you !

Deep sea divers in submersible suits are a bit more difficult.

A trifle spendy, but there are these chaps:-

These might make good aliens for running down corridors.

http://www.cpmodelsminiatures.co.uk/cp%20models%2015mm%20carnosaurs.htm

3.50 pounds for four of them is quite good as well. scaled for 15mm but it has comparisons against 28mm and they work pretty well IMO

Dinosaurs!

Kryomek Helions as genestealer replacements (We've used them in the past in our club)

From the same game, you could use the Nexus Cyclos as Terminators :

Irregular Miniatures have Spice Lice. You can see Matakishi's paintjob on the Irregular site:

Also have a look at Wargames Supply Dump for more pulpy goodness:
