I have been thinking of doing a Sci-Fi project sometime in the next few months. I would like to do Pig Iron figures against invading Prawns from District 9 so does anyone know who makes them; the Aliens not Pig Iron. Or I might do Hammer's Slammers in 25mm from GZG so would anyone know of Alien figures to match up with them. |

I don't believe anyone does them in a scale larger than 15mm. It would be very nice to see them in 25mm from GZG, as well. Spugs are probably the best fill in, in the interim. |

I remember that someone does or is planning to do some resin "Cthulhu-esque" alien heads. Put them on Kroots , give them Tau weaponry (or anything that looks similar to Prawn weapons), and voilą! I know they posted info on Frothers:

They are some cool alien heads |

Kroot are no use; they look nothing like Prawns. Try Dragyiri Slaves from Dark Age ( link ) with headswaps. |

I agree – SPUGs, even though they're not a very close visual mix, are a close "spiritual" mix, having a powered armor and weapons that match up pretty well. |

Kroot have the height factor. And, if you put the right head on them, they look pretty insect-like: link

Just e-mail Jon, and ask him nicely to do some "Jumbo Prawns". |

CC, those Dark Age minis are pretty tall – taller than Kroot, I think (for scaling purposes, they're on 30mm bases). My main issue with the Kroot is that they're too smooth. |

Closest figure I've seen is the Verpine Tech figure from the Star Wars minis game. It's a slim, delicate figure though, so conversions would be a little tricky. Too short as well. Reposition the arms and give them some GW Tau weapons? |
