Cut the back part of the head off of a Not-Xenomorph?

Khurasan Space demons.

I guess I would have to add long mantis-like claws to them too:

Dan,

I don't think this is even an issue. The creature from Unearthed is such a blatent Giger alien ripoff, you can easily use one of the many available versions of those creature with a little snippy snippy and some green stuff.

Yeah. I see that much.

I guess that I like how two tiny changes (the tail angle and the long arm claws) seem to make the creature a little less like a man in a rubber suit.

Being hunched over and keeping the knees closer together as it stands and walks helps too.

I gotta say, I like the creature from the first three pics better.

That thing from the last few pics looks like a Hormagaunt, not that it does you any good in 15mm.

Unless you wanted to use a Hormagaunt as a really big version of the critter…

Looks like you need PF to sculpt an unarmed version of the right-most figure in this pic:

Or go with Rebel's Raptorz:

Chris,

The position of the legs on those Rebel Raptors are definitely the closest thing. The Khurasan Demons are too human-like in stance.

I guess I could raise the tail angle on the Raptorz and add to the length of their claws.

Thanks,

Dan

Yeah, you could hack together the raptors with arms from these Khurasan Mantis Stalkers.

It's so much a current GW genestealer that it's not funny. Take off the second pair of arms and add a tail.

GW used to do some metal Genestealer familiar's which came with the Tyranid Genestealer Patriarch, they were tiny and just about perfect for this unearthed creature.

@AVAMANGO – I have two of those! I had been saving them for a 15mm Genestealer Cult, but now I'm probably going to go with Khurasan Infiltrators as the "purestrains."

Hey Chris well if you want a thrid one the Genestealer familiar above is currently on Ebay but the seller wants a silly price for it.

OMG. That picture looks perfect. Too pricey for me though. :(

"It's so much a current GW genestealer that it's not funny. Take off the second pair of arms and add a tail."

Not even close. Looks more like a hormagaunt now that I've seen the movie.

Though, I did see a couple aliens lately that looked exactly like genestealers. one of them being the aliens in cryo in the first X-files movie Fight the Future. Genestealer design now is rather interesting….their body looks like a fetus, then you add monster legs, two sets of arms and a nasty face only a Tyranid queen could love. Almost feels like they should absorb genetic material and change their own shape as well as infecting future generations of humans.
