Carts 2,423 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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  And remember,They mostly come at night...............................mostly. 14 Link to post Share on other sites

HerrUther 113 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 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 2 Link to post Share on other sites

HerrUther 113 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Looking good buddy… makes me want to paint mine now but Lambda first!!!  Must resist urge to paint Aliens 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Carts 2,423 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 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. And for scale   9 Link to post Share on other sites

HerrUther 113 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Stop posting I’m trying so hard to resist my Xenomorphs and Badasses, need to concentrate on the Lambda  Looking good buddy… can’t wait to have a game or two myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Carts 2,423 Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Little update,some of the human\andriod figures,added some hydralic lines to the Power loader 8 Link to post Share on other sites
HerrUther 113 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 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 3 Link to post Share on other sites

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? Link to post Share on other sites

NoSG0 171 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I saw some Drop ships that can be 3d printed. Perhaps this may be of help?  https://www.yeggi.com/q/aliens+dropship/  Or  https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=dropship&type=things&sort=relevant  Can they be shrunk down to size? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
