No kidding. Compression articulation like a Milanese export harness would get you coverage, but only on one axis of motion. You'd need.... (head explodes in an orgy of sliding rivets).
Would definitely like to see more illithids, though. They're great baddies.
Something I wish we had more of for ambient atmosphere in settlements are children models... and maybe an ambient baby or two. The two human child picks with the raggedy clothing in the standard assortment are pretty limited, and scaling down adult models just doesn't work very well (IMO anyway). Is there a pack somewhere with more child models or maybe reskins? Or at least a few youth heads? Thanks. 
The Kitchen Boy has several new boy heads and non-rag clothes. The module is set in a 19th or early 20th century boarding school, so the clothes are more modern school uniforms.
Arid ampitheaters plus retint versions of alarm gongs, altars, archery targets, armor racks, and art pedestals
New light texture in front, then showing tintmap, then stock in back. "Armor Rack 05" is spears instead of armor, I went by the placeable name. These are designed to allow builders a wider range of tinting options, maybe that evil altar was made out of bone for instance. For most uses they're all going to need at least some tinting. Some things weren't tintable before.
Bar pieces, barrels (including the barrel04-06 that didn't have stock blueprints), barricades, beds, bedroll (unfurled). The rolled up bedrolls didn't need lighter versions made, they are tinted by default. As before, you're going to want to tint stuff for most uses.
Tintmap shown is red/green/white for visibility.

Scaled-down gnomes might also pass for small human children. Their head proportions are about the same.
Benches, birdbath, bloodstains, booth seating, and cages. Since the cages weren't previously tintable, I copied the texture map to the tintmap. As a result they take all three tints over their surface (they are shown with the same red/green/white tintmap as the other things). Tintable blood means you can use other tints to handle blood for green blooded creatures for instance.
The cages also have had their vegetation removed.

Dare I ask what those white stains on the ground are? 
Now that you point it out I must insist that it is the blood of a deva. Or possibly the blood of a solar or creature from the positive energy plane. It is the BLOOD placeable!
Perhaps it's actually a spilled milk placeable. No use crying over it then...
These are great Kamal_ they should replace all the tinting work to date as there is a lot of crossover now and there is no point in the work existing twice.

Hey kamal two things. That first barrel shown in the pictures, was already tintable in game.
Also, can you tint map the treasure chests in game? So tired of looking at them I was going to model new ones.
Thanks!
I already made the chests tintable. You can take them out of my module.

One the right is the result of what happens when I try to set up new ones, things don't attach. I used MDBcloner on the two chest parts. Someone else who knows more about modelling will need to solve this.
In a lot of the animated placeables models I've seen, there's usually a single 'placeholder' MDB that somehow references the multiple parts. I wonder if chests work in the same way? Perhaps there's a third model that also needs to be cloned with the same new naming convention. Unless for chests, the non-animated part that doesn't need a skeleton is acting as the rigid 'placeholder'.
It might also be a skeleton issue. I notice looking through placeables.2DA that the chest skeletons seems to have the same name as the models. If you clone a pair of chest models (assuming there are only two), then perhaps you also need to make a renamed copy of the original skeleton? I wouldn't imagine this to be the case though, as you can clone creatures easily enough and they still use the old skeletons.

I tried by copying the placeable lines and trying with both the original skeleton and a skeleton name matching my renamed placeable. fwiw, the windmill, where the blades of the mill are a separate piece, did exactly the same thing.
