"Another Glorious day in the Corps"


Recommended Posts

Got this game for Xmas,mainly wanted it for the figures,which is just as well,because reading the rule book nearly made my head implode🤪 The base game contains 16 Alien warriors and 6 human figures,Ripley,Newt,Hick,Hudson,Frost and Vasquez .They also sell figures as stand alones,so I got the Alien Queen and the power loader set(includes Ripley in the loader,Ripley and Newt,Bishop standing,and half Bishop after encounter with the Queen),plus a assets and hazards set(Eggs,facehuggers,computer terminals ,senty guns and storage crates)

The Warriors come in four basic body poses with optional heads and all arms and tails fit all the figures so you can mix up the look.

All firures primed and ready for paint(I have since modified the Queen,given her a more upright pose and replaced those derpy looking tubes on her back with Spikes)

One figure painted 27 to go :)

Hey Carts, I ordered that for Christmas 2019… finally got it this Christmas and the mini’s were missing from it 😂🤣

 

Thankfully I got replacements from GF9 (BattleFront), they were pretty good about it really. I also got the two expansions and the assets & hazards box recently. I always regretted not getting the APC from Prodos when they did ‘AvP: The Hunt Begins’. 
 

Nice looking xenomorph, really want to lay down some paint but promised myself the Lambda comes first; plus stupid Covid has ruined any chance of gaming with my mates 😭😭
 

Love a good bug hunt… though the only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit 🤓

Little update,was getting a wee bit bored with the Alien production line,so thought I would have a go at the power loader,its a fairly neat little minature.

Last time I painted figures this small was when my lad was having a Warhammer  phase ,about 20 years ago.

Added the antenna from my spares box,it was a tool from a german halftrack,and added the wire mesh,cut from a washer for the roll cage.

Still needs a bit of a tidy up,but couldnt resit setting her up with the Queen.

I hear Ripley has a Class 2 rating on that thing… Gorman’s still an ‘A’hole?… do you think Vasquez was ever mistaken for a man?… and no one said anything about there being a synthetic onboard 😱

 

Nice work, love the addition of the hydraulic tubing. I’m still resisting the draw of Aliens… Project Lambda is an all consuming mistress 🤣😂

Stay frosty... :)

What's the scale on these guys anyway? Would love to get some next to a UD-4L Cheyenne tactical dropship...

In modelling terms i would say about 1/48th scale,off the base about 3.5 cm.

I have the Prodos Games version of the Cheyenne with lightning… not sure what scale it is but I could put some unpainted Marines and Xenomorphs next to it if you’d like?

Stop your grinning and drop your linen… I see Hicks like to keep that shotgun handy for close encounters… Hey Frost… wouldn't mind getting some more of that Arcturian poontang, though yours was male! 
 

Love this film soo much… the directors cut is on Sky atm
