Massed Aliens?

[Elbows]

So, what are my options for a game where I'd need...say 50+ aliens?  Think Space Hulky horde of aliens, kill-them-all bla bla bla.  Looking for my options in plastic or similar collectible alien figures.  I'd like to stay away from GW as they may end up being pictured in some material.

For 28mm games, so 25-40mm is fine.  Plastic would be preferred.  Cheap is ideal, but I'm not looking for rubbery toy soldier figures either.  While I might end up using plastic genestealers or hormagaunts or something, what are my other options that aren't tying to a litigious corporate entity?

Does anyone have stock leftover for those old Defiance Games bugs?

I would look through the cheap monsters from the old D&D, Dreamblade, or Star Wars prepaints.  Some of those are still going for ridiculously low costs.

Kryomek?

Not THAT cheap, but a good solution nonetheless.

Sounds like you and I are thinking along similar lines at the moment.

For price and a useable quality I would suggest the Reaper Bones Kulathi and Bathalians

I've gathered some D&D Ethereal Marauders in the past for a similar purpose. Nicely fitting look, prepainted, and at the time they were very cheap.

I would suggest the Reaper Bones too. They paint up nicely... but might not fulfill your requirements...

I made my own with the cheap dollar store ants.  These are hard plastic, not rubber.



The model is 15mm, but these would still work in a 28mm setting, but smaller bugs.

EMCE do a plastic bag of colonial marines vs aliens - Amazon uk link.

I'm sure I saw these in poundland (or some such place) the other week. They are about 45mm tall - blog post with pictures

You get 35 figures, but I'm not sure how many of each.

The Kryomek look pretty good - more interested in spookier types sans guns.

Heroclix Brood. You'll need to repaint, but I've found them on eBay for about $1 each.

I wonder if there would be some Monsterpocolypse models that would fit what you are looking for.  I'm not sure if you can get them cheap or not, but might be worth a try.

ERM do some not-Aliens;

The Kryomek Helions come in bunch of different poses -- there's easily 20 different ones.

Someone currently has a sale with unusual horses/ponies in it

The Marro from Heroscape used to be broken out for stupidly cheap prices, but I think they're finally being scooped up by the devoted. Still worth a look.
