A thought has occurred to me while designing figures (sorry to harp on about
it) but at what point does power armour become an infantry walker? Is it down
to size? Is it simply that one is a suit where the other is a piloted machine?
A race of aliens who are 10ft tall encased in armour could be considered as
infantry walkers if their opponents are normally only 5ft tall.

Has anyone done any rules for oversized alien infantry?

That's the definition I'd use. YMMV.

I could certaintly see the point in treating them that way for purposes of the
rules even if it is techically "power armor" by the above definition.

Not yet.

G'day,

> Has anyone done any rules for oversized alien

I thought up a list of simple changes (modifiers etc) you could apply to try
and capture the effects of other forms of aliens (be it size, number of limbs,
social structure etc). However, they've neevr seen the table so I don't know
how useful they are.
