[Archive] looking for greys (aliens)

Da Crusha:

hey guys I was thinking about making a greys (alien) themed army for 40K. I have already bought a pack of 20 greys from zombiesmith but I was looking for some other models also. anybody know of any companies that make them?  Im also looking for some martian flying saucers too.



edit: ooooh found a flying saucer!!!

Bassman:

Cute! There are even chicks :smiley: What do they proxie? Eldar?

clam:

Don’t think you’ll find many that fit the awesome cartoony still of the zombiesmith ones. - really like the stuff this guy do (and why does he have to be based in the US ?? :mad - it’s not fair)

But first that spring to mind is Bigade Game - they do these:





And then Black Cat Bases as well - they do som gret ones like these:



For saucers - try look here:

Hey there heads wouldnt be that tricksy to sculpt, You could use nigth goblin bodies and re make the heads ?

Firehammer:

Well, Tau are the Grey Alien themed army of 40k, have a look at their face, skin colour and lack of emotions.

Copplestone also has some Grey Aliens, but they are not so great http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW

Da Crusha:

oooh great suggestions guys!! Im planning on using them as Tau, theyve always been my fav in 40k.

hey clam I found out recently that the hobby shop I go to is in business with zombiesmith and the models are cast at a guys house in oakland, I go there all the time! hopefully I can meet him and find out more about the process.

good idea about converting them thorne, but Im not too sure Im going to take that route.

Couple of years ago I was going to do a home brew game with aliens, found soap molds in the shape of a saucer. They were pretty cheep compared to the models out at the time, around 5.00 I think.

oh thats a good idea did you end up getting the rules written out and knock out a few games?

Lordfishbane:

Like most of my home brew rules they ended up in the “to be finished at a later date” pile.
