There's always the.99 cent bag of a hundred black spiders which are perfect 25mm starship troopers (the book) type bugs. Los [quoted original message omitted]

Subject: 15mm bug manufacturers
Anybody know of any suitable 15mm bug (or other, appropriately non-human) miniatures available? I'm organizing a large force of them for SG2 utilizing Kryomek-ish phermone C&C rules. What about suitable vehicle equivalents? Here's what I've found: GW 40k Epic: 6mm, but some of the larger scale figures work. Anybody have any, esp. Hive Tyrants, they wish to get rid of? Maybe trade?

Laytex(?) fishing bait would make nice Cthor-like creatures in 15mm. Plastic spiders and other assorted "bugs". Raid the toy seciton of local toy, drug, and discount stores. ----- Brian Bell ----- > -----Original Message-----

I've uploaded a picture; maybe someone will recognize them: http://www.geocities.com/johnxcrim/Graphics/Bugs.jpg That's a Partha 15mm guy in the lower right corner, there to show scale. The others are all from the same batch. The sluglike thing in the lower left corner is supposed to sit on the "flatbed" of the tank beneath it, and the (badly) painted one in the top right corner actually has four wings
