@ Lowtardog,

That tank with the tracks on your first Quar picture is sweet.  where does it come from?

Zombie smith, he doesnt have them on his site but drop him an e-mail

Shame the greys are OOP, I love them! Especially the sinister ones in the chairs.

[Inso]

The Greys aren't OOP (as far as I can tell):

No greys in chairs though...

[majorsmith]

The griffin greys are awful, tengu all the way!!

[Gibby]

The Tengu greys are pretty good but they lack weapons, which limits their wargaming use unless you were to have them using psychic powers or something...

I like the Thrade by 3d-miniatures. Nids and Tau but not for 40k.

[therepoman]

Has to be Quar

Holy crap, that is amazing...

[Gibby]

Sorry for the mega-bump, but I've just re-read the thread and paid more attention to the Quar. Now exploring the Zombiesmith site and I love them! Nice amount of back story and a rule set using my favourite base rules - Song of Blades and Heroes. Need to get involved!

1. Cheap
2. good looking aliens
3.Nice poses and weapons, nothing silly ot strange
4.Good selection on types, from troops to heavy weapons etc.

Hope to use them one day for a alien invasion game, x-com etc

They look great, they look a bit like Treens from the old Dan Dare days. Now, a 'Grey' alien in a floating chair would make a pretty good Mekon I figure...

S**t, I've just talked myself into a Dan Dare project.

Only because i'm repainting them at present i vote for The Growlers and Zykhee from Vor, when they came out there was nothing else out there like them.

Thanks Jeff

Kroot, Tau (which also make good 'Grays'), all the various robots (Necrons, both old and new; EM-4/Grenadier/Copplestone 'terminator' style guys; daleks etc.), greys. Quar. Some of the races from AE: Bounty are pretty cool.

I know you're not interested in Eldar and the like, but the old 2nd ed. stuff actually works well for Victorian Sci-Fi, especially the old rangers (scouts) and the like.

And of course, there's some nice stuff to be found in the Star Wars cmg and the heroclix line.

Grymn!

Good old space-Dwarves, but far superior to any others I've seen, with the probable exception of the Texan Scrunts.

I do like the Tau though - the only 40K stuff I buy (and then mostly only the plastic stuff at cheapo prices off E-Bay).
