Does anybody know where to get Starship Trooper minis? I know that they were out for sale at 2005, but they stopped making them at 2007. However, at that time, I was about 9-10 years old, I didn't even know what minis were, and now I have a sudden urge to buy some of those awesome S.T. Troops (just Arachnids though, I really love those )

So, can anybody point me to a link? Thank you in advance.

Lots of mini's are still on ebay. That is where I got some Army books not long ago. They are probably gone from stores by now.

Here is a link as an example:

Dang, I was hoping you wanted Marines. I have a crapload that were going to be Guardsmen. And I don't need them anymore.

Sorry man. just Arachnids (Skinnies are acceptable two)

Plastics or metals?

Those ST plastics were a nightmare, but the metals were pretty good.

The plastics weren't too bad.
You just had to use a glue that was suited to them as they WEREN'T the usual Styrene (like GW or other model makers use) but an ABS plastic.

I have 20 MI and a few of the larger suits (APE marauders) which I'm not parting with. They are way too useful to me for my Tomorrow's War games.

So, I've seen the list of Arachnid Units, and I've quickly formed an army list:

1 Brain Bug
3-5 Guard Bugs
1 Tanker Bug (Thorny are the best)
3-5 Blister/Blaster Bugs
& a gakload of Warrior Bugs
(debating if I should include a Plasma Bug as well)


Brain Bug + Bodyguards. I'll need a few more Guards if I'm planning on getting a Plasma Bug.


Blister/Blaster Bugs, they look the same, but the difference is that one of them shoot plasma while the other spit flames.


WARRIOR BUG RUSH! KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE!!!


Ordinary Tanker Bugs, they are still pretty awesome, but not as cool as...


The King Tanker Bug! You'll need a lot more men if you want to hurt this guy


AND NOW! THE THORNY MOTHER TANKER BUG! YEAH! GREEN IZ BEST!


The Plasma Bugs, is it just me or did they look a lot cooler in the movie?

I need more plasma bugs. I use their ass as Mycetic Spores.

You mean these guys?



Yeah, they are really awesome.

Yep, those guys.

Two of them, and a bigfoot Marauder (has a big back mounted mortar) as well as a couple of chicken hawks.

Roughnecks, hoo-ah!

I got two more quotes:

''More meat for the grinder.''

''The only good bug, is a dead bug. Let's make them all good.''

I have the boxed set myself, plus some extra trooper squads and a couple Chickenwalkers. Picked them up at DragonCon a couple years back for almost nothing. Its a shame this game didn't take off, from what I've read of the rules, it seems like a great game. If you need any warrior bugs, let me know

im selling two boxs of rippler flying bugs on ebay . if any ones interested .

Wow I love the old starship trooper models you just made me want to get an army of Arachnids.

Or use them in my nid army.

I always wanted to make a starship troopers inspired terrain set using the Hexagon Platformer kits based on the look of outpost 29 in the first movie.
