Looking at the rules, seems I need to give the Zens some battle armor to give them a fair fight against the UEDF. Any suggestions on decent looking proxies that are more-or-less the right scale (about 1-1/2" to 2" tall)? I'd prefer something not too pricey (plastic would be fine) that can take a base coat of spray primer. |

What about robogear infantry… about 35mm tall and cheap: auction |

If you do not care too much about scale, I was going to suggest Starship Troopers MI if you have them. |

But the idea of the Zentradei is that they were a disposable force of troops. They were cloned and weapons mass produced on a large scale, and expended a lot like the bugs from Starship Troopers. The Zentradei grand fleet did show up at Earth with 4 million ships, and lost because Dolza's fortress and Dolza himself was destroyed.
And the Invid were fighting against this? How big was the Invid fleet? |

So what happened to the real Zen armored soldier figures? Did the original figures not get funded or did they not get produced yet? Sorry I missed the news.
Cheers,

They will be in Wave 2, I believe. |

Wave 2 is still 'on the way' but I'm not holding my breath. I'm also thinking they may wind up being pricier than I'd like. Insomniac – good suggestion. Just wish those were a little 'beefier' to represent power armor. Haywire – I was thinking that SST-MI might work. I have some so maybe I'll break them out. Still need something for the power armor, though. I'm keeping my eyes out for 1-1/2" to 2" tall shogun-style robots from the Japanese vending machines. Sooner or later I should find something. |

Didn't someone a while ago suggest some of the infantry in the elfy faction in Warmachine (or Hordes) as Zentraedi substitutes? They have that curved armour thing going on. Something like these guys:
Or these:
Or these for powered suits:
There are some others as well. They wouldn't be cheap, but might have something in the right style following a suitable head swap. |

Those would work as well… if you do not care about scale. AT-43 guys are 1/48 scale supposedly, so they are a bit closer |

takes inspiration from Doctor Who.
