OK so I am looking for 15mm figures to run the Predators movie scenario.

What are some good suggestions?

Khurasan's Vacation Alien will work nicely for the bad guys.

What do you think would work good for the humans.

Need a the following proxies
1 Male Ninja/samurai type figure
2 Female sniper
3 Male with large HMG
4 Male Doctor
5 Male Prisoner

It's interesting that they've called it "Predators" in a salute to "Aliens" being the follow-on to "Alien."

For more parallelism, or let's call it mirror parallelism, it would have been nice to see "Predators" as a horror film -- what I mean is, "Alien" was a gothic horror film, followed by "Aliens," which is an adventure film, so the adventure film "Predator" would then be followed by the horror film "Predators."

Then again, perhaps it's not possible to create a subtle environment of horror, which usually requires fear of the unknown, from a pack of seven foot tall hunters. Nothing subtle about that. grin

I dunno… why 15mm?
There are so many fantastic figures out there for 28mm ((Horrorclix Preds, Infinity, Rezolution, ect, ect…). So much good stuff in 28mm and the premise of what I feel Predators is going to be lends itself better to 28mm skirmish gaming as opposed to 15mm.
*shrugs*
Up to you, though. Hope your project comes out in aces. :-)

Rebelminis has miniatures which could fit (Ninja, snipers, modern soldiers,…). You could convert some of them with GZG spare heads.

Just watched it tonight, and enjoyed it quite a bit, so will have to consider similar scenarios myself.

Of course, you can insert pretty much any type of armed figures to do battle against them, including even back to medieval times.

15mm because it's gods own scale (though she's considering switching to 6mm) :)
