C'mon. You know that space colonists will adopt cute little alien critters as "pets" if they discover life out there. And Greys and other aliens are not going to travel here without bringing their pets with them.

Thanks.

Maybe pick up some of the 6mm Tyranids or the Bloodworms/Centaurs from Baccus's 'Command Horizon' line.

Look at the 6mm ranges
dinosaurs picture fantasy creatures picture (tree man) picture (Demon)
with non standard paint jobs they can easily become pets for your 15mm space colonists.

(the above pictures are Irregular minis but a look through most 6mm ranges will give candidates.)

"6mm Tyranids"

Q: Actual GW Tyranids? In production?

Q: Actual GW Tyranids? In production?

I don't think they are in production but I have a spare sprue of them if you want. A lot of tiny weapons to clip of if wanted for pets but they could do.

GW did Epic scale Tyranids in plastic some years ago, I would imagine they are still available here and there.

Ah now Brigade Models do the cutest wee menacing 6mm bugs imaginable! Also, GZG do great little 6mm Starship Troopers movie style arachnid bugs too. Quite podgy little chaps. I suppose you could add into the scenario that they are usually very placid and affectionate, but under periods of deep stress (or during mating season, whatever) they have the unfortunate tendency to run around snipping random limbs off passers-by with their mandibles…

But aye, maybe you should have a nosey at brigade and Ground Zero.

While the examples by Reaper are rather large, there are two sets of Familiars done by Iron Wind Metals that would still be mostly smaller than 15mm humans.

How about some of the 15mm aliens from the Battlestations line???

scroll towards the bottom!!!

You just know that some little old lady is going to have at least one of these named "Wuffles":

Probably about twice the size of a St. Bernard in 15mm, which just sort of adds to the effect.

Anyone make an appropriate mini for "Lummie", aka Heinlein's "The Star Beast"?

Cacique Caribe15 Apr 2010 11:02 p.m. PST

That would be a bit bigger than I hoped.

Thanks though.

Top Gun Ace15 Apr 2010 11:48 p.m. PST

Tribbles.

Easy to make at home, in any scale, and easy to paint too.

Just don't feed them!

Farstar16 Apr 2010 10:57 a.m. PST

Those little mouthy things Zombiesmith makes, though "pet" might be stretching it a bit.

Cacique Caribe16 Apr 2010 8:27 p.m. PST

May some aliens left this thing behind for us to play with (or for it to play with us):

These are interesting:

Description:

"Models are about 8mm tall to top of head. Three poses of one-piece models."

Wish someone would make other types but in that size.

Dan

Is this cool, or what? If only it was small enough:

Someone needs to contract that guy, to make proper-sized miniatures!!!

Dan

Cacique Caribe14 Jun 2010 10:12 a.m. PST

This would be awesome, as a 10-12mm mutant/alien kangaroo-shaped Chupacabra:

Two or three variants would be even better.

Cynoraptors link

They come with collars, and work for either….

Cacique Caribe06 Dec 2011 10:12 p.m. PST

Cute!

Dan

Thornhammer08 Dec 2011 12:32 p.m. PST

Okay, that three-eyed monstrosity and the cute lil' cynoraptors are in.

Little Big Wars08 Dec 2011 1:25 p.m. PST

6mm Dark Realm Miniatures Skyth maybe? The Claw Beasts are a bit big, but the rest of them would make fairly good buggy pets.

mrshasslefree09 Dec 2011 5:36 a.m. PST

i vote the cynoraptors

i just looked at our smallest alientype that would work
link

but these are based on a 15mm base and #3 is 13mm tall so they are a big bit next ot a 15mm figure!…lol!

Cacique Caribe11 Dec 2011 11:33 a.m. PST

Nice!!!

Thanks,

I'm going to try the rules for Pulp Alley and make a sci fi league of a kid, his pet and a android, should be good for some laughs, hey what could go wrong with that combo, right !? :D

War Monkey04 Jul 2014 5:43 a.m. PST

Looking forward to the rules!

War Monkey04 Jul 2014 5:45 a.m. PST

Will get them next month

Weasel05 Jul 2014 9:27 a.m. PST

Necro-thread!

I imagine 6mm wolves and lizards from some fantasy range might work really well as 15mm pets

War Monkey05 Jul 2014 9:49 a.m. PST

That's a good idea, wonder if there any other creatures then that?
