Hello! I'm looking for any range in 6mm that might work for 6mm Starship Troopers Skinnies (by the book…not the movies, cartoons, 28mm game) or greys…

Does anyone know if Irregular's 6mm Humanoid Aliens might work?

Any other possible ranges out there?

Someone a while ago suggested 6mm GW Eldar but 1. expensive and hard to find, 2. may be too "flamboyent" for skinnies from the book?

Help! :)

Thanks!

Adrian

Sorry was thinking 25mm in the last post. You might try the Khiff figures in the Adler Dark Star range.. The heads are a bit long for my vision of skinnies but could be clipped easily to reshape.

Tau from Forge World are not very tall, but are certainly more slender than humans by a long chalk; Might do for Skinnies. . . But pretty costly:(

Hi Adrian,

Well, the original skinnies were very different from the Mongoose ones.

To match Mongoose ones, I'd go for some thinnish H&R figs… I'm not sure which line, but a few of the later lines had taller figures. Wait a minute…

*** Why not go for GRELs from Heavy Gear? ***

Shalom,

I'm actually looking for something closer to the book… I thought some generic grey's might work but no one seems to make them in 6mm…
