Eight more cases.


Top view


Three more terminals


Classic beige


Couldn't help myself - electric dreams!
 
+++Transmition received+++

What weird eggs are these?


And one is already open, which means...


Hold on, I'll just check the database...


Errr, guys...


There's a lot of blips...


Another twelve of them!


I've got them on monitor...


They've breached the wall...


They're coming this way!


We can't stop them!


+++Transmition ends+++
 
Four more crates.
Because...
 
A few extra bits of usefullness to run the game next week.

The stuff of nightmares, a pair of facehuggers!


Really nasty idea


Leaping to capture new victims


Eeep!


A pair of high tech computer terminals


Living in electric dreams...


Sure my Uni had these as high tech in the 90s.


Peek, poke, bytes and ram!


Supply boxes, hopefully with something useful inside.


A & B guns, UA 571-C Automated Sentry Gun


Special edition anyone?


Dakka dakka


"It's wall to wall in there man!"
 
 
Got hold of the 'In The Pipe, Five-by-Five' expansion.
So, here we go, Ferro and Spunkmeyer.


Pistols vs Aliens, not going to end well.


Useful that the name the bases, allows you to identify the bodies...


Pew?


The four named and different warriors, the Guard, Brute, Sulker and Scout, just gives you a bit of variety.


Interesting poses


Waiting


And Ferro's spare head


Four more alien drones from the original set. Well, I needed all eight for last night's game.


Takes it up to 20 aliens now. In motion


Tail swish...


Charge


Odds on the black guys
 
Was up at Boards and Swords the other week, and after playing a fair amount of 'Xenos Rampant', I noticed Rob & Manny had a copy of the "get away from her you B****!" expansion.
Which includes 'enraged' Ripley - i.e. Ripley with Newt, Ripley in Power Loader, Bishop being normal and half a Bishop!
It also included the Alien Queen, Greater Xenomorph anyone!

Power Loader and Queen


Back view, the yellow has worked really well


From above


It's behind you!


Conga line?


Annoyed Ripley and Newt


She's not happy


Tooled up


Back view


Bishop and half-a-Bishop!


He's a bit of a mess!


I can remote pilot the dropship.


Bald patch?


Back off
 
 
And now something really scary (yes, the time it took to assemble them)


They're in the walls...




Oh heck!




They come at night, mostly

 One of those 'I'll never use it but I need it' purchases. Huge fan of Aliens, and I've been eyeing up the Marines set that very sensibly they sell separate from the new Aliens board game. Saying that, I did use them on Wednesday when Cliff at the LB club brought his first edition copy of 'Space Hulk' down and we played it properly!

The heroes of Hadley's Hope


Apone, Hicks and Deitrich


'Eat this!'


Bases come pre sculpted with names too


Weisbowski, Crowe, Hudson and Frost


Team of ultimate badarses!


The camo nearly sent me blind!


Vasquez and Drake


Love the animation on these two


Drake was a nightmare to assemble, all the rest were a dream


Gorman and Burke


One a man out of his depth, the other a nasty little toad


Newt and Ripley


Newt's sculpt is soooo cute


And here they are in action on Wednesday, Three of us played 4 games, it was hilarious!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
