Ideally, I 'm hoping to find some big, thick critters along the size of a bison or rhino, maybe similar to the old GW Zoats. I want something too big to follow humans through a house without either wrecking it, or getting stuck. I'm not really looking for tall thin dudes or bugs. They don't need to be in uniform, but they need to use high tech weapons, blasters and zapatrons, not teeth and claws. I've made a similar post on TMP, and some nice figs have been suggested, but haven't found quite what I'm looking for yet. Does anyone know of a figure line that fits the description? Thanks, irishserb

There will be a few of the folk to visit this thread to give ideas to ya in a short while. Though, you might want to be a little more descriptive of your alien of choice! Tinker

For two feet, I'm thinking look for fantasy minotaurs and then swap out the arms... for all fours, I'd look into either Warhammer fantasy Ork Boars, or maybe 40K daemons of some kind. (I like GW plastics, if you couldn't tell LOL)

DAWGIE your average JOE KARMAN is larger than the UNA HEAVY POWERED ARMORS

Cogs might do also, but I'm leaning toward the thickness of the Karmen. I'm going to see if I can't chase some down over the weekend to see them in person. To be honest, I had completely overlooked AT 43, as I wasn't interested in the rules/fluff, when it came out. Many thanks for the help. irishserb

The Karmen might also work for the Librarian mutants in the Metro2033 game (real bad, can take 2 AK74 clips at close range). Although they are little more than beasts in the game. I may have to check out lines of gorillas for these critters.
