I posted this in the General Wargames thread then found this thread and thought it might work better here.

I've produced a short rules expansion for Axis & Allies Miniatures called "The Creature That Ate Berlin" that enables one player to pit a custom-designed B movie-type giant monster against the other player's AAM army.

http://www.mediafire.com/?shareke...278 ... f2ab1d704b

I'm looking for sci-fi AFV-type minis and human figures that I can kit bash to make some of the types of minis I need for the game such as "Mobile Field Laboratory" and "Experimental Device" as well as Martian Tripod-type units.

I'm looking for scales that would be compatible with AAM v1's N-scale AFVs, which are substantially smaller than the current true 15mm scale of the newer version of the game. I'm thinking that larger vehicles in 6mm or 10mm sci-fi lines might look good next to the N-scale AAMs.

Finally, I'm especially interested in minis that have a "retro" look, that is styling that would look good next to WWII era vehicles.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm blowing my own trumpet here - but check out the Exodus Wars components, Exodus Wars -> Guild -> Components will give you loads. Otherwise the normal Guild vehicles will give you a ton of options too.

E&C sells some nice 10mm sci-fi/steampunk germans that would probably fit right in.

for B movie monsters Privateer's Press Monsterapocalypse collectables would work, as would the thousands of Ben10 toys that seem to be about at the moment.
