What Species needs More Representation? Its a question that pops up in my mind once in awhile. I broke down a (not comprehensive) list of mini's by species and included non-uniques only, with the number being the actual amount of mini's made/available. I Did NOT include customs. Aqualish 4 Bith 3 Bothans 5 Cereans 0 Duros 4 Gungans 7 Ithorians 2 Kel Dor 2 Mon Calamari 4 Quarren 5 Rodians 10 Sullustan 1 Trandoshan 4 Twi'leks 5 Wookies 10 Zabrak 2 Plenty of Wookies,Rodians and a handful of other species decently represented. A side note; these are the supposed "Core Species" of SW RPG. No Cereans? Only 1 Sullustan? Not that I think we should include a certain species just for inclusions sake (that's like giving somebody an ability for convenience's sake without them actually having that ability in the EU but I digress) but should we be expanding the species pool to make it, for want of a word, more Star Wars-ey? What species do you Customs people feel should be more/better represented? PS - Yes Koba, I'm sure you'd love more exotic Jedi's but that's beside the point

dear goodness, Surf knows me too well... indeed, this is food for thought, and we're always looking for more aliens (after all, it's star wars) the observation that's most pointed - Cereans 0 that's a head scratcher Tholothians 0 Corellians 2 Sullustans 1 Alderaanian 1 Revwien 0 Ergesh 0 Shistaven 1 Ugnaughts 3 Bothans 2 Barabel 1 Chistori 0 Ssi-Ruu 0 Gand 0 Verpine 1 Tarc 0 Iyra 0 (they'd make a neat subfaction in the TOR era - so many comics) Vor 0 Anx 0 (another what the?) Troig 0 Paaerduag 0 Ongree 0 Luxum/Ix/ Iithian 0 (same concept, might cause consternation) Shard/Iron Knights (from the many-vader/vader armor wars Marvel arc) 0
its a shame. I'd often like to have proxies for SW-40K, so as to have proxy-flagellants or proxy militia. they'd be great in 40K in 40Mins scenarios as 'bystanders' too. Ideally, there'd be at least 3 or 4 per sentient species, and some more female miniatures (there's a lot of female players still in various RPGs). definitely food for thought for future customs fabrication. what options are out there so as folks could make more alien-minis?

In this order for me:
Kaleesh (new Grievous and his lady)
Hapan
Chiss
Killik (especially a cheap drone)
Umbaran (commander, tank, fighter, etc...)
Geonosian (Queen Karina the Great, zombies)
Energy Vampire (Countis Rajine!)
Rakghoul
DIANOGA!
Hutts (so so many different eras and themes here)
Onderon
Ssi-Ruu
Gand
Anzat
Krayt Dragon 2.0!
Cerean
Balosar (let's get some death sticks special abilities on)
Yevetha
More Vong
And lastly Nerfs and Nerf Herders

@Gen Griev,
indeed, some actual miniatures options for those would be awesome.
especially given all the 0.1mm detail and curves, which present nightmare for some other option.
There are some folks on 3DHubs and Makerways etc which have some .stl,
most notable being a hi-res Rancor in scale with the WotC one.
also, a 1:48th 'true scale' Jabba/generic Hutt.
It would be great to see the Krayt Dragon - Adult
and other similar alien made available in such a way.
@all
at the risk of being drastically off topic,
vehicles too would be awesome to see made more of,
especially the alien vehicles from other faction.
Presently, the CIS have the monopoly on most vehicles/vehicle synergy...
which is ashame.
Maybe, some starfighter such as Dianoga, Dagger etc?
I would be keen to hear others thoughts on those idea alongside some more alien.

Agreed I think an ATPT and ATXT is long overdue

I think the Chiss as a subfaction could be built up more.
