Zetans vs Cryptids: Which Fallout Miniatures Set to Add?

Quick answer

Choose the Zetans if you want a versatile, lower-cost alien squad for narrative missions; pick the Wendigo Colossus if you need a terrifying centerpiece monster that dominates the table.

Trade-offs at a glance

• Zetans - Invaders from Beyond: Best for players who want a squad of alien enemies that can be used across multiple scenarios. Lower price per figure means you can expand your collection quickly.
• Wendigo Colossus: Best for players who want a single, memorable centerpiece that changes the tone of a session. The larger model demands more painting time but delivers a bigger visual payoff.
• Budget vs. impact: If you have $24 to spend, the Zetans give you more models. If you have $57 and want a showpiece that players will talk about, the Wendigo Colossus is the stronger choice. Consider your campaign's next story arc before buying. Aliens or cryptids? The decision shapes your table.
