ALIENS at Devizes 2009
« 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 saw the game and it looked excellent, encompassing all the major scenes from the movie.  All the players seemed to be having a great time whenever I drifted past.
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?

http://bambamproductions.blogspot.com/2007/09/battlestar-contest.html

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

I can so totally see Hudson losing it, when the xenomorphs attack, inside that set-up.

Great terrain.

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

Holy Cthulhu on a stick!

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?
