Title: ME Minis equivalents
Post by: Darrian Wolffe on April 19, 2012, 02:53:04 AM

Annoyingly, nobody makes ME minis.  I've found a few close matches so far, and I'll update as I find more. Amusingly, most are from the same company - Corvus Belli is where INFINITY miniatures (like Rob Jordans Shadowrun PC) come from.

Human Alliance marines (male & female): http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=596
Alliance Human Male Solider/biotic: http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/zhanshi-yisheng/
Human Alliance female solider: http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/odalisques/
Alliance Human female soliders: http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/posthumans/
GREAT Human Alliance female solider (this is what I'd use for a femshep, but it would require a headswap): http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=450
Human Tech character: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=432
Human female tech character: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=376
Cerberus Agents (light armor): http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/yuan-yuan-mercenaries/

Quarian Female (will require a head swap to something with a helm): http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/odalisques/
Quarian Female (requires hair removal): http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=594
Quarian Male: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=479
Quarian Male & Female: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=534
Quarian heads

EVE: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=677

Turian (kneeling): http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/yaogat-2/
Turians (4 - #4 is the best): http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=618
Turian heads can probably be adapted from Kroot in the Tau army of the 40k range.  The body?  I dunno.  The Taurian body style is incredibly distinctive, and I can't figure anything else offhand which looks like it.  Heck, I'm almost willing to pair up 40K space marine bodies (no backpack) with lizardmen or converted kroot heads.  These Infinity Yaogat seem all right if we can't get anything else to work, since all I'd have to do is trim back their head spines, but...

Asari: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf_rtdo.asp?IDNOTICIA=416
Asari (requires light scuplting on head): http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/sophotects/
Asari (remove lock of hair and paint blue): http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/kempeitai-2/

Krogan: http://www.shapeways.com/model/117113/frogan-blood-pack-28mm.html

Salarian:  Your guess is as good as mine.  Probably have to be scratchbuilt

Mako (requires barrel replacement): http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/nrf-kabardin-apc.html
