Best Alien Races in 28mm

[Bagpuss]

Kryomek!

I'm working on an alien mob form a backwater spaceport like Mos Eisely or something similar.  I appreciate having all these new names in one place.

Cheers.

Infinity latest release : the Tohaa

Alien but with human features: creepy imho

[Ajsalium]

Nice resurrection!

What happens with Griffin? I could do with some greys for my scifi Galaxtar project, and perhaps some cravids for my fantasy Ajsalium project, too (small aberrations).

It's a shame the black scorpion ones are not available at the moment. They are pretty ace miniatures.

The new Martians from Jim Bibbly must be mentioned in any discussion of aliens!

[Hendrid]

I like those Martians.

Acheson Creations has some cool George Pal's 'War of the Worlds' inspired Martians that they call Kabasu. They seem to have been originally commissioned by Ed Teixeira for his '5150' sci-fi combat game.



They also have some armed centipede aliens called the Wormric. Both are reasonably priced.



Denizen Miniatures has a pretty complete line of some 25mm armored military aliens called the Ventaurans that look pretty good. They also have the K'hiff (the jackal headed aliens in monk's robes who played the villains in C J Cheryyh's Chanur novels).  They will be a little small next to 28-32mm figs, but then they are aliens.





Both can be seen in Denizen's Hot Link discouraging gallery.

Khurasan Miniatures has the Garn who are 28mm tyrannosaurus-headed lizard men with weapons and armor.



He also has some vinegaroon like aliens called the Arachnians.

Superfigs (sold by Old Glory) has some 1960's silver age aliens called "The Host" that look almost like Jack Kirby drew them, and they have a nifty war robot to boot! They are chunky but...'characterful' ! Very much in the 'Cheap and Cheerful' $2-$5 vein of figs.

I quite like these guys. Rar from regiment games. (Kilrathi anyone?)


 There are twenty different miniatures so there's quite a few.

Regiments Drantakh as well are pretty cool.


Still love the nids though. I have quite a bunch of the old school models.

I may well have missed it, but there doesn't seem to be a mention in this thread yet of Black Hat's Cobalt-1 aliens (which is a bit odd since it's such an old thread):

Small lines but fairly comprehensive, infantrywise. No vehicles tho. GW Ork vehicles would suit the Ar-Men fairly well and the Kryomek biovehicles should go decently with the Palansi.

There's also a long discussion about aliens for use in conjunction with Defiance: Vital Ground on MJ12 Games forum which may mention something not yet to be found here:
