GF9 Aliens: Another glorious day in the Corps

[Michi]

I painted a commission of miniatures from the basic boardgame (7 characters and 16 alien warriors from the ALIENS movie). They're multipart injection moulded plastic models which have to be cut off, cleaned and glued. I admit that the Prodos Games AvP miniatures were much nicer, but for boadgame miniatures these are above standard, I'd say.

sweet sweet alien goodness thanks for sharing Michi. Those Aliens er aliens look amaziing!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking good mate!

[Daeothar]

They look really good, and the paintjobs complement them nicely

I'm not familiar with the GF9 game; are these the only characters in the box, or do they offer a full complement? I mean; no Hicks or Apone?

The beauty shots with the terrain are awesome btw!

[Michi]

Thank you!

I don't own the game, but it seems that the characters of the basic game are limited to these few and there are 3 expansions with more of the USCM and W-Y corporation personnel (Marines and Carter Burke/ alien queen with power loader and Bishop + alternative Ripley/ dropship pilots and four more alien warriors), .

@Michi: great painting!

@Daeothar: GF9 released all the characters in one box (just the minis without the game bits). Bit hard to find these days but apparently still available here:https://adriaensen-speciaalzaak.be/nl/home/110529-aliens-heroes-of-hadley-s-hope.html.
Only Bishop is missing from this box. He's available in another box though:

Mind you: I haven't ordered from this store and am not affiliated with it in any way (it just came up in the google search).

Nicely done, mate! 

Are those aliens black with a silverish highlight? Inquisitive minds want to know.

Yes, exactly that: Black base coat and gun metal drybrush. Dead easy!

Good find Sarge!
Dropship pilots Ferro and Spunkmeyer seem not to be present in any of these boxes though.

[Cypher226]

IIRC Ferro & Spunkmeyer are in the 'In the pipe, five by five' expansion.

Looking good Michi.

[Michi]

I painted the xenomorphs from the expansion sets lately...



Their particular functions are labeled on the bases. The Queen obviously doesn't need that.

[OSHIROmodels]

Love that black 

[Michi]

IIRC Ferro & Spunkmeyer are in the 'In the pipe, five by five' expansion.

And here they come:

Great painting!
