These are great figures and will make excellent Thri-Kreen, even unmodified. But I was not that keen on their large, monstrous heads, so I actually got out the green stuff and made one of my own. Is it a bit crude? Yes, but by my standards I am pretty happy! Judge for yourself!
And a couple of comp shots against the Valiant Miniatures Thri-Kreen:
The thorax is still a bit of an issue, but for an RPG, it works. The question is, can I actually sculpt an equally good, or better, head for the second one? With my meager talents, it's a crap-shoot!

Those look a lot better with a more 'Kreen-like head... I'm beginning to reconsider them as an alternative, if only because of the lack of miniatures in this department.
ReplyDeleteI am working on rectifying the lack of good PC usable Mantis Men. More info on this when I have it...
ReplyDeleteI just ordered some good Thri-kreen substitutes, they should all be here in a week or so, maybe I'll post pictures after I get them all modified. I am quite the greenstuff veteran and am close to taking the leap into full on sculpting. I have the skill, but haven't mustered up the effort yet.
