I've got some miniatures from Copplestone and Em4, basically a fistfull of colonial marines. I think tiranyds and genestealers from GW are a good foe for these marines, but I don't know if exists another alternative more economic than GW.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance.

The Kryomek aliens would work well. Or maybe the Void/Urban War Korelon.The wormy looking ones, not the ones with human heads. |

Mongoose's new Overseer bug for SST looks kinda Alien-esque. There may be more variations in the future. |

Wait for the new release of "Horror Click". I've heard that are doing Alien vs. Predator this year. |

Yeah, a box set is in the works for Horrorclix. The Aliens box set can be seen here: link I forget when it releases. Initially it's supposed to be a mailaway exclusive (through Wizkids Buy-It-By-The-Brick program), but they usually end up selling them to the public after the exclusive time period expires. No images yet of the separate Predator box set. |

That set in the link looks fantastic! Does anyone know if they intend to make the queen, face huggers and eggs? How about colonial marines? |

East Riding Miniatures do some alien type figures. link |

Dragon Gunner, Wizkids only has a license for the Aliens vs. Predator movie, and I believe they only have a license to do the collector box sets, not to put the figures in a regular release. Hints on the message boards suggest to me that the facehuggers will be cardboard pogs, since they would be pretty tiny even in this scale. No mention of a queen yet, although everyone there has been asking for one. |

what scale is the AVP stuff, 35mm? |

Are you looking for different or are you looking for cheaper? If it's mainly the price, GW plastics are actually a pretty good deal. Especially given the large 2nd hand market. You can't really go much lower than that, unless you find closeout sales or similar. |

I really like the Urban War range, and it can be mixed with the GW stuff. And the Horrorclix range is very interesting.
Thank you everybody!
