Irregular Miniatures' Scorpio-Bugs could look good en masse and are cheap:

Well, this was a Black Friday thing, but I got a set of Sedition Was for absurdly cheap ($18 USD), so maybe if you keep your eyes peeled, something like that may come up again?

Otherwise, Heroclix/Horrorclix/D&D/Dreamblade may be one way to go.

These bugs from Penndraken are supposed to be 10mm but are pretty scaleless.  They are only 1 quid each:

What about Myth Crawlers? $20/10


Wild West Exodus Watchers (Greys) are not cheap $36/10 but hard plastic. Most are shown with guns, but there are also close combat variants.

Shadows of Brimstone: 12 Void Spider Miniatures $15/12 (also hard plastic)


Shadows of Brimstone: 6 Strangler Miniatures $12/6 (also hard plastic)

Cergorach, those are far better than the other options so far...seems there isn't a big market for genuine scary aliens...shame.  I'll start poking around.
2025 Painted Miniatures: 341
('24: 502, '23: 159, '22: 214, '21: 148, '20: 207, '19: 123, '18: 98, '17: 226, '16: 233, '15: 32, '14: 116)

Check with anybody handling Touch of Evil or Last Night on Earth?

Had a heck of a time finding the FF store entry. I'll see if they're in the distribution channels in the US; wouldn't mind seeing some myself.

Edit: Game and several expansions are available through Alliance and ACD in the US, but not finding the particular beasties in their own boxes. Might be web store only.

Seperately those SoB minis are webstore exclusives.

The old Starship Troopers plastic aliens (Arachnid) might be a good option if you can find them (they came 20 to a starter box):




You could do some Maelstrom's Edge minis (hard plastic on sprue):



First is the Minnows $6.50 per 2
Second is the Adult Angel $9 each
Only available through the pledge manager if you were a KS backer.

Certainly not cheap, but the winged ones could make for a terrifying Riddick-esque scenario!

Malifaux has some interestingly scarry monsters on sprue, but those could be very expensive to get a horde of 50 of...

Although these are interesting:

Void Wretches $21 for three, I said it was expensive stuff ($15.75 through MM).

Confrontation: Creatures of Dirz - Phemera Alpha Unit Box (8) $12 through miniaturesmarket (OOP)


Now for the bendy Reaper Bones stuff:



All three are $3.99 each, probably cheaper from some online stores (Miniaturemarket $2.99 each)...


$3.29



$2.79 each

This would be quite funny:

$2.29

The advantage of the bendy stuff is price and you can chuck them in a bag.
