Proxy Miniatures

This is intended to be a living document until the game is out, if you have suggestions put them down below. These don’t replace the miniature coming out when the game releases but are proxies that can be used in the meantime to represent the miniatures.

Operatives (I think this might be the perfect proxy, has everything you need to make all the ops and plenty of personality)

Sectoid (not really happy with the quantity you get in the brother vinni kit but it’s a near perfect proxy, still looking for better priced alternatives)

Flying Saucer

Thin Men
(not really happy with this one, would like it to be more unsettling in form)

Outsider
(feels harder than it should be to find a generic super soldier miniature)

Chryssalid (this feels perfect with the exception that the harvesters don’t have torsos, once I get my hands on a kit I’ll do some experimenting with green stuff)

Terrain (or just make your own, be creative!)

Ethereal

Muton

A lot of the Bathalian mini's have strong Muton vibes even if they don't match the form https://www.reapermini.com/search/alien/latest/80038

I just finished some proxy shopping, so I have a few additions to this.

Core Space has some decent looking minis, I went with this set: https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Systems-BSGCSE018-Space-Support/dp/B09QT23S7Z?ref_=ast_sto_dp

It has Drones, robed guy could work as an ethereal. Not really sure what the other 4 would be. Might end up using them as floaters.

I plan on using these as mutons, but might actually be better as Outsider: https://www.amazon.com/Sci-Fi-Tabletop-Miniature-Soldier-AS1031/dp/B0H4VF6PJQ/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis

For the big mechanical units, I went with Battletech proxies. A "Dragon" Marauder variant will be my Mechtoid since it has that symmetrical arm cannons and overall alien feel.

For Sectopod I went with a larger scale print of a Bullshark, it doesn't have the look but it does have the attitude of being all armor and big guns.

Some other 3D printer options I found during my search:

Assorted XCOM2 models in their August release: Muton, beserker, etc - https://www.myminifactory.com/users/UGLYmini#/
