Best Alien Races in 28mm

[Whiskyrat]

AT-43 - Therians, Cogs and Karmans - They have a fleshed out backstory, different troop types, vehicles .... and did I mention they were pre-painted. 

Clickies - Aliens and Halo Covenant.

Otherwise SPUGS and Starship Trropers Skinnies.

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

Thrade are awesome: just pulpy enough, and just realistic enough. And their space suits look good in Star Trek colors.

These do not seem to be available anymore.

I'd have to go with Zombiesmith too. Not only are there the Quar, they've also got Greys (with different guns, too), his A7D12 fun mix of different alien sculpts, and now the new "Storm of Steel" line.

Kroot!

Yes! 
I think they might be the best thing to come out of the Tau range (which is pretty good regardless.) I plan to model some to look slightly like these fellas from Mass Effect: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Turian

Void/Urban War: Koralon

I did an entry on my forum on all the Aliens and Alien armor I use for my gaming.

Somebody mentioned Kroot, and I second it - not for games of 40K, but simply because I think the models are nice (with lots of options), and they definitely look alien. 'Nids, of course, for the pure 'squash the insect' thing.

I would have loved to have been able to field a Zoat army, they're just simply brilliant! I don't play many alien armies, but I used to love my Genestealer cult for 2nd Ed 40K. Kurasan's 15mm Vespulid range is also quite nice; jet-powered wasps!

I asked over to the BG site but could not get any answer there were some very nice vehicles in that line.

That one alien race from Infinity makes really good turians with hardly any effort, plus they're slightly taller and thinner than most 28mm humans making that dimension right too.

I suppose the way I worded that was a bit confusing; my intention is to model more high-tech Kroot (because I like Kroot   ), taking some inspiration from the Turians.

I do remember seeing those Infinity models though, and they would work quite well for Turians.  However, as the last thing I need is another project...

Whoa!!!

Late again, but what a super thread!!!!

These guys remind me of the Gorns from Star Trek the original series.

Ah! No worries there . I can certainly relate.

I have one for doing the conversion, but haven't gotten around to sculpting the head fringe and modifying the armour up a bit more Turian-esque. My friends and I will be doing a ME universe rpg at some point and I wanted to tailor a figure for my character.
