Range?? I'm always happy to pick up another Squat, Ewok or Ratling when the opportunity offers, but they're not even named consistently, let alone made by a single firm. |

I still have a soft spot for McEwan Miniatures Starguard! line. |

The one I have the largest pile of:
GW Tyrranids
Space Hulk bugs, Mr. Rico! |
| Micman | 23 Aug 2024 9:56 a.m. PST |
All of the ones mentioned are great, my personal choice is from Ground Zero Games- Crusty Aliens! Some District 9 flavor! |
| Grattan54 | 23 Aug 2024 10:09 a.m. PST |
Hasslefree, the Grym line. |
| JMcCarroll | 23 Aug 2024 10:21 a.m. PST |
GW's Tau. I have wayyy to many of them. Even if they have a female body part on their foreheads. The Nids come second. |

with robert piepenbrink … Range /RAnj/ (n) 1. a series of miniatures produced under a single intellectual property ownership license representing a single force. so … uhm … I don't really do ranges. But I have minis from many. I would go with Necrons. I do a lot of conversions and kitbashing, and they are very flexible for that. And I just like the look. Also "Skellies are easy to paint." applies to 'Crons, too. A close second would be the Black Tree Dr. Who range, simply because it is a range with a variety of nice figures. And a big bucket of nostalgia comes with it. I suppose I owe props to my HeroClix Skrull army. I've got a couple hundred and change … and, technically, every other miniature I have in my invetory is a Skrull. And all the furniture. Surprisingly, no Cthulhu range. I have figs from a lot of them, but I really like these ones from this range and those ones from that. So no range really stands out for me. |

Oh yeah, HeroCLix Skrulls and Kree! Forgot I've got armies of them that never quite hit the table yet. |

Void Koralon
Especially the earlier designs from before they started pushing the body horror and really riffing on xenomorph aesthetics (though those are nice minis in their own right). I think the "symbiotic coral-like stuctures functioning as bones" idea was just plain novel. GZG's Phalon
If we are including alien spacecraft ranges in this as well, then I must mention Ground Zero Game's Phalon, whom I have an inexplicable fondness for; even if they do resemble . . . erm, geoducks. |

Oh, VOID. The Veridian(>) generic spacedudes are great! I madde an army of reto-spacedudes from them.

Too many to tell… - the MP "Starship Troopers" were the biggest, baddest and boldest, and they had a lot of variety. We'll never really see their like again.
- coming in second, with a different aesthetic, for which they should be sued by the Giger estate, would be GW Tyranids, for the breadth and visual impact / size of their line, second only to the above. my 5 cents. |
