Ups, sorry AGIS!

Tin Bitz is a kind of dirty metallic, slightly more 'brown' or maybe dark bronzy than boltgun, but about the same level of darkness. It used to be a GW paint, but that was from the pop-cap era. I still have a pot that works. Have to make some experiments, if I ever gets my minis.

I searched for an equivalent. Lot of painters use GW Warplock Bronce for it.

Hard to say on basis of pics alone, but it looks just a little too 'bronzy' to me - maybe mix in a little boltgun? I will get a tin and compare it in real life, once I get around visiting a store that carries GW here.

Well after saying that the minis need around 25 Mins each I really went to town and finished 8 more this week. So two 5 Alien stalker "squads" are finished.

I primed it with FoW British Armour (Desert), after that just a hint of white primer on top.
Then a Citadel Reikland Fleshshade and some Agrax Earthshade here and there.
After drying a very light drybrush in white, then Enamel glossy clear.

The black Aliens are even simpler, black primer, boltgun brushwork, nuln oil wash, very light drybrush in silver, glossy varnish.

And a detail shot to show just how good the minis are sculpted and cast...

(Normally I am not showing minis that close...)

Yes, they are. For such a simple job they are mindblowingly good!!

I think the technique works incredibly well with them. Especially the gradation of the wash on the head, from light towards the dark, nearly 'crash helmet visor' forehead, and the effect of wash + gloss varnish recreating the wet, slimy look of xenomorphs. Fantastic.

Agis, they are amazing! If you hadn't told me and only posted the third picture, I would have been totally convinced they were a much bigger scale!

I really think they look better than the film ones!

Great stuff Agis

The Alien I “Infant” is painted. Also the first Colonial Marine.

The 5 “Infants” received the same simple paint treatment as the black Stalkers above. So again black primer, boltgun brushwork, nuln oil wash, very light drybrush in silver. Only difference, before the glossy varnish I gave the minis a thinned layer of Citadels Guilliman Blue Glaze.

The Marine took longer to paint. The mini is again a wonderful sculpt, very realistic proportioned and full of detail.

More - including a detail pic of the Infant - as always on my website:

Agis, they are perfect(your Aliens). All paintings are great. What rules do you use? Old Starship Troopers or play test of your new ones?
