was thinking of running a campaign at the club based on the computer game, will be in 28s as I have the humans for it, but was wondering what figures are available for the aliens. Sectoids are easy enough, I'm sure I have seen greys somewhere
Thin Men, well civvies in suits as long as they are, well, thin Mutons was thinking space orcs, Chryssalid, Gene Stealers Etheriel? Any suggestions for actual figure ranges. |

For the squaddies, Reapers IMEF range would probably work rather well, and it seems to be kind of what they were meant to look like |

Since you mention Thin Men I guess you are talking about the new one. I was thinking of doing my own but leaning towards the old game. Thin Men you could use the Silence figures

Haywire, that's a great suggestion! I just finished the Enemy Unknown campaign. Very fun! A minis game would be pretty entertaining. |

RAFM had a demo game using their USX rules at last year's Hot Lead in Canada. (I wish I had taken pictures, but I was engrossed in a Saga game at the time). It might be worth checking them out since they have some really good stuff for "non-IP infringing, but recognizable proxy characters". |

Funny you should ask about this, I just found the following this morning.
Talk about a conversion! Here is the thread about it. link |

This has been discussed on the Lead Adventure Forum. Here are a few related threads. Do a search for X-Com for others. link

Cannot find anything similar on the RAFM website, am I missing something, as I am too looking for some XCom similar figures. |

I know EM4 have some good figures as we got some to play X-com using the combat zone action point rules to play it. EDIT. link |

We used our Remnant Forces for squadies

and for a drone flyer

and for a drone on legs

We also used a lot of Reaper Miniatures from their chronoscope line because we sell Reaper here in Canada.
We used a lot of our own USX: Modern Day Heroes Line for civilians and other groups such as Biker gangers and Rednecks.
We also found a drop shuttle on the cheap. I can look for photos if anyone is interested in seeing the game. We used a wilderness terrain map with a crashed spaceship I believe. |

Oh yeah for Mutons we used our CyberOrcs.

You might want to look at the Infinity range, too. Very slick and high-tech looking, and a pretty good range of unique sculpts. I haven't seen the new game, though, so you will need to search for yourself: link |

Smooth putty over the face of one of those Silence guys and you have Slenderman. Huh…that's something to think about, for an entirely different subject. |

Reaper Chronoscope line has a number of Greys
doing a quick search on 'Alien' on their web store will net you all the Grays as well as several other alien types. |

Ive done something like this though adhered less stringently to xcom canon. Ill be running another game at this genghis con in denver mid feb 2014 atropos907.deviantart.com/art/UFO-IRF-Battle-Report-355970056 I use zombiesmith grays
Studio bergrstrom… somethings as snatchers.
EM4 armored troops for power armor.
dropships and ufos from all over.
alien supreme commander and bio node brain and terror snakes from reaper
and quite a few more as shown in the link above.
I may be droping in a few big ones from khurasan or others as terror mechs rules are homebrew and people usually seem to enjoy the nasty backstabbing that mind control and hacking introduce. |
