Did a quick search here and couldn't find if this had been done before (please link if I'm wrong).
Working on my lovely BV Fallout figs I've been musing on my favourite Post Apocalyptic video game settings... one of my all-time favourites is Half Life.
Half Life 2 really pushed the story of what happened when the portals opened and the world was taken over during the 7 hour war. The Combine and their forces, the Xen aliens (headcrabs of various types, giant Ant Lions, etc). There's so much that could be done to make a great skirmish game. Obvious factions would be the Resistance versus the Combine. Obviously the Xen aliens could be NPCs, Objectives or simply Battlefield Hazards (Headcrabs!).
So as I kill time this week moving house I find myself scrounging the internet brainstorming for bits. Here's what I've come up wiht so far.
Combine Soldiers / Civil Protection TroopersFor Civil Protection troops (The main 'evil police' of City 17) I'm thinking Foundry Street Violence SWAT Team II could provide the bodies...
With these Secret Weapon Gasmask heads...
For the Combine Soldiers I'm thinking the Copplestone Hostage Rescue Squad for bodies...
But I'm stuck on the heads. I can always sculpt them but I'm sure I've seen something with the mono-lens helm. The lefthand ones I can likely do with old Viridian Power Armour plastics.
Also need some inspiration for the Combine Assassin in her sexy white leggings.
Human ResistanceLots of options here... Copplestone comes to mind first of all...
Or maybe more Street Violence...
Hasslefree will of course work great too...
Now interestingly I can likely make HEV Suits (like Gordon's) no problem. I just need to dig up old VOID Viridian Power Armour which I have a raft of somewhere. It's damn near perfect.
Now to keep looking for other bits!
