What rules are good with 15mm Aliens?

[Wrye]

Hi guys,

I just acquired some 15mm Xenomorphs from an Estate (but no opponents or rules) and I was wondering what rules set people like to use with litle guys like these?  I think they're khurasan miniatures figs.

You don't say how many.
If it is a few, then I would go for Galactic Heroes. Batch them up into 'Teams'
& you can play with several gamers.
If it is a lot, I would go for Lazerburn's 'Imperial Commander' or similar. Basing
'units' up in 3,2,1, figure bases. At the moment I am favouring different sized
round bases.
'Traditional' opposition is Colonial Marines, but that is if they are fighting Humans.
No reason why they can't fight other non human species.

Do they look like these Khurasan ones?

Yeah, that's them.  I have about 10 or 20, so more a skirmish force than anything.  I also got a bunch of 15mm generic medieval/fantasy units, so at the moment I kind of want to do a Lake of Fire game for a convention, but it would definitely be nice to be able to do more things with them.

Get some of the Khurasan 15mm Gothic SF marine types, or any of their 15mm Alien trooper type figs to hunt the bugs.

The 1st edition came with 10 Space Marine Terminators and 20 Aliens, which was plenty for a 2-player game.  Increase accordingly for bigger convention games.

Space Hulk seconded!
There’s also a SoBH variant called Bughunt iirc which might be nice.

Space Hulk is a great idea - easy to quickly print out corridors in 15mm scale using paper terrain from Wargame Vault.

For something more free-flowing Fistful of Lead.

Is Space Hulk available in PDF?

The original, probably not (unless unofficially of course). But there are plenty of 3rd parties who have made their own fascilisms over the years.

I suspect you'll be able to find an entire range of substitutes on sites like Drivethrough RPG for instance...

Space Hulk Bible is online pdf with 1st Edition rules and expansions.  The Missions book is separate and should be out there somewhere too.

That’s more than enough to play several years in a row. That pdf has everything that’s been written pre 3rd.

The Space Hulk Bible is a great source but even better is the Enchiridion 016 fan supplement.

[NickNascati]

Fistful of Lead-Galactic Heroes, or One Hour Skirmish Wargames.

Sounds great; where can I get it?
