Title: ALIENS at Devizes 2009
Post by: Captaingeneral on 28 September 2009, 11:02:58 AM: Hello

Always loved the Aliens films Film 2 being a great favourite so...

Just a quick link to Auton and My Aliens game of the 1986 film (approximately..)
We staged this at Devizes this year and hope to run it at Lincombe Barn's Reveille in November and Penarth Crusade 2010

I have a load of the LEG aliens & marines I bought in the USA in 1992...I must paint a few more of them... :?
In Devizes no-one can hear you scream... :o

Thanks a lot Earther

Yes although I cheated by using Old Crow wheels and turrets. I have however discovered a source for a resin 1/48th APC in the States...from here?

I am pretty sure it was here but cant see the APC on the site, keep an eye on ebay, they come up from time to time.
Check out the nice BSG stuff

Still it will be on show at the next outing, its really cool...

Regards

Great terrain.

Yeah, contents under pressure. Ironically the shirt under his armor says that.

Yum yum!

Excellent stuff! I think I may have seen the WIP thread for this on another forum or something. Is that face hugger one of those old OOP ones?

The facehugger is a scratchbuilt one (greenstuff I reckon..) part of a batch of creatures I was lucky enough to find on ebay...
