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   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He will be

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be
