Hi Everyone, I'm looking for suggestions for minis that I could paint to look like Jem'Hadar from star trek. Here are some pictures:
Thank you for your cooperation, and remember, Resistance is Futile…

Huh… that's a tough one. Some of PF's Pangalactic Legion heads have the right overall shape, but not the bony protrusions. Can't think of any other sci-fi heads that would work… unless there's some fantasy heads that could be mounted on other figures. Maybe we need to talk Malleman into doing some not-TNG era figures to complement his not-TOS stuff.  -Chris K. |

I would try Blue Moon's Aquans link They are slightly larger than the Astro Crew.
Khurasan's Sci-fi Police are also good for conversions and their rifles look like Domnion ones Edit-Just saw clkeagle's post :) |

Hmm… can you think of any figures that are dressed/armed in a similar way? edit: I would try Blue Moon's Aquans link They are slightly larger than the Astro Crew.
Khurasan's Sci-fi Police are also good for conversions and their rifles look like Domnion onesEdit-Just saw clkeagle's post :) Oh, the aquans looks pretty close! Oh, and I agree with clkeagle btw |

What do you guys think of these: Rebel Minis Krugen:
Rebel Minis Earth Force Magistrates:
(they'd need new heads) Other than that I'm kinda outta ideas… |

i second having malleman make some, i have a number of his 15mm and he does a great job. i would like to have some 15mm jem hadar in addition to the 15mm star trek line i have. it's not 15mm but 28mm but space vixens have a rim alien range that includes, cardassian, jem hadar, klingon tng, romulan tos, and others. link |

The Kurgen were my first thought. Paint them a light bluish gray and I think you've got it. |

For converting to Jem'Hadar the Aquans bodies would best in my opinion. They are taller than the Astro Crew. The Kurgen heads with a different paint scheme would be perfect for the Jem'Hadar. I think that the EF Magistrates bodies would be good for Movie+ era Klingons and maybe even Cardassians although they are a little short since the minis are humans. I have some of the Magistrates and Aquans. I will post comparison pics on my blog tomorrow when I get a chance. I may have a Kurgan, but I doubt it. Most of the effects you are looking for (body armor etc) can be achieved by your paint scheme alone. In other words you don't necessarily need to do a lot of modifying/green stuff work except for simple head swaps. MA |

Trim off the ears and paint them in Jem Hadar colors and do some wuite or lighter grey dots where the little spines are supposed to be and you'll have a really nice proxy. -Eli |

They looked so cool with that reptilian hybrid skin. Plus I love the idea of the chemical dependence link. I mean, if you're going to create a race of super warriors, you better find a way to keep them in line! I loved their attack ships too:

The current options for ST on figures on the tabletop in general seem to be rather limiting at the moment. Looks liek it requires a bit of converting to get anywhere. If someone would commit to a full line that could pass without a considerable deal of converting, that would be fantastic. Khurasan would be my first choice, since they seem to have doen a great job on the aliens/colonial marine standins (and on their models in general) but I suspect they have a lot on their plate at the moment. |
shows no self-restraint and paints models he doesn't even need yet!
