Alien Invaders

[Inso]

I bought some old Games Workshop Dreadnoughts to go with a bunch of these:

But the little aliens didn't seem properly dressed... so I added some putty, put a few extra bits and bobs together and came up with this:

This is the first of three similar waves that will be led by this guy:

I still have a long way to go but it is a start

Wonderful!! Now you just need to go to Ground Zero Games, and purchase some X-COM style dudes...

Love it!

GZG makes X-COM guys?

[Inso]

I won't be getting the GZG minis because they are a little too 'cartoon' for my liking, however, I do have another 40 of the same type planned to go with a further 8 walkers. I also plan to add two injured aliens (they have lost their psychic powers so can't protect themselves) in powered armour and riding fighting platforms. There will also be a few Reaper miniatures aliens added as a slave race... so there will be a small amount of variety

These ones (plus a few more):

Not....exactly. They make loads of different guys, some of which greatly resemble troops from the X-Com series, and the follow ons.

Best thing is to get a catalogue so you can see pics of all the different troop types, and pick and choose some suitable ones.

Superior figure work, really well done and actually very cool.

Thank you

 

The greys were originally from here:

... and since I bought them, there have been a couple added to the store.

 

The walkers were snapped up on E-bay and are the old style Eldar Dreadnoughts/Wraithlords from Games Workshop. The hover platforms are the old Eldar gun-platforms.
