Triffids - Anyone Make Them

[Doug ex-em4]

Reading Day of the Triffids for the first time in about 60 years, I’m immediately thinking "I need some triffids." They could either form the centre of a scenario in my current Zona Alfa-based campaign or, more ambitiously, a complete Day of the Triffid campaign could be created.

So, does anyone make them? 28mm. Or maybe there’s some suitable aquarium plants that may serve?

Thanks

Irregular definitely do some, in their 25mm Science Fiction range. I'm sure I've seen some others too

CP models do some ETP07 walking carnivorous plants in their sci-fi range

Alternative Armies have a wide variety of plant creatures. Searching "plant" on their website will bring a lot of them up.  Pretty sure they include triffids.

I remember reading that book for the first time while babysitting a neighbor's kid. It was a really weird walk home at midnight.

Crooked Dice do an assortment of plant-based creatures and 'infected' humans:

Like you, I've considered using  them for a ZA or 'Day of the Triffids' game. Just too many things to do.....

Thanks for the input, everyone. I’ve decided that an actual Day of the Triffids campaign is not practical,- for one thing, I’d need hundreds of the beasts which may be a bit pricey. However, I think triffids will make excellent encounters in my Zona Alfa games so I’ve ordered half a dozen - 3 each from CP and Crooked Dice.

Hopefully they’ll appear in an AAR here at some future point. First thing is to make some rules for them.

I haven’t read the blog post yet but I like the look of what you’ve done - proper intimidating….! I particularly like the way you’ve given them a dynamic pose as though they are on the move. Well done and thanks for sharing.
