Looks interesting.  No APC yet?

Great work, Dwartist!

I just found out about these GF9 figure sets. They all look great.
I thought the figures might work well with these Battlesystems Sci-Fi terrain
Any thoughts?

They work pretty well.

Thanks, Michael. No, no APC yet but there is a nice diecast model made by Eaglemoss which might make a decent (if somewhat expensive) placeholder particularly with a new paint scheme.


that's a photo of my wip repainted Eaglemoss APC with the GF9 'Vasquez'. APC available on Ebay with photos of the finished vehicle https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repainted-28mm-Eaglemoss-diecast-collectible-Aliens-M577-APC/143930267083?hash=item2182e995cb:g:9d4AAOSwclNgETxt

Thanks.  Definitely a better paint job. 

The game does look interesting!  I am enjoying looking at your painted marines.

I have finally got my figures assembled.

I am going to use them more for a wargame than as aboard game (not got the games just the figures).

What I would really like to do is get some 'civvies' and do the Hadleys Hope events before the USCM got there....has anyone any ideas for suitable scaled figures (plastic)

The Wargames Factory 'Zombie' range would probably have been good but they are now OOP (and so expensive) I have the Mantic TWD figures but the are a bit out of scale for use with the Marines.

Thanks

No APC yet?

GF9 is now taking direct-only preorders for a resin M577 APC kit, priced at 50 USD.

“160mm x 65mm x 60m. Please note that delivery of the APC may take up to 120 days from the time of ordering.”

Nice. It doesn't look too bad, either. Unlike their Queen...

I got a set of warriors, the assets & hazards and a queen, which arrived two days ago. The Queen kit is very obviously not by the same manufacturer as the warriors. The halves of the torso don't fit together properly, she's much less detailed and what there is is much softer, and her headsculpt looks... hilariously bad. I'm not gonna complain too much cause she is really cheap, but she sticks out among the fairly'realistic' warrior sculpts like a sore thumb.

Thanks, Manchu!
