Well to all the Alien heads out there: a few points of reference

[Commander Vyper]

Yup Akula and Cheetor amongst others have rekindled my own love of all things alien, (never went away really ).

So as I dig through my EM4 troopers, stop looking at the gripping beast/woodbine marines on the website, dig out my sentry guns and rifle through my plastic GW zombie and skaven bits boxes and raid the attic for my horroclix aliens vs predator boxes, I thought I'd post up a few links found today, might already be well know but may be of some use to people:

(2003 but still some good links from here including):

Free rules: Bug hunt!

Enjoy.

More the merrier - have the feeling will end up feeding off each others enthusiasm, in a way not too dissimilar from zombies....

Well I can say that my effort will be on a twin reduced budget so probably, (for once) sticking with what I have first and foremost and painting it all before moving onto new stuff.

I also dug out those sniper! Bughunter rules (TSR hex minis game from the mid 80's), has some good ideas too.

Happy to see that my budget is spinning wildly out of control - spend £100 on mdf today.... 

May need to sell all that Termiantor stuff at this rate.

I've gone and brought out my big box of aliens aswell

The joys on only buying one of everything is less initial outlay and more resale gain! (Say's he with one HK tank and two HK ample! ).

Well if they're hero/horror clix you don't want them really...I'll have em. Want some trucks?

I noticed those Bughunt rules make mention to Pendraken mini's, anyone got pictures or sizes of the sci-fi range??

Seems Navarro from on Cool Mini or Not is sculpting up some bases for a 'Alien' world...



Looks like they'll be available from SECRET WEAPON....

I believe they are 10mm - I seem to remember seeing them once.

Thats the whole point for me.  Posting up photos and getting feedback keeps me motivated.

So, in a minor tangental thread derailment, here are a couple of photos of my nearly finished conversion of the Prince August Future Shock Power Loader that I took last night:



I extended the feet, bulked out the "shoulders", added some simple cabling and finally added some styrene strip detailing to break up the flat areas on the added bits.  Its not a dead ringer for the movie version but it presses the same buttons I hope.

Pretty much everyone around here has an Aliens project on the back (or front) boiler I think.  I hope to get mine over and done with in 2010, hopefully alongside some of you guys

The "chronofus" is a nice link, didn't know about that.

Oh, and as we we all in Aliens now, do anybody know some producers of 1:35 scale Aliens?
No Marines, just Aliens.

Will start it in the bigger scale, ok, I've allready begun

Have to visit in my holydays an old friend of mine which has an 1:35 Dropship, which he hopefully don't need anymore

I bought my 6yr old nephew a Palisades Toys Alien vs Marines playset still sealed off eBay a couple of months ago for £10.

This one.

It comes up every so often, the Aliens would work for 1:35.
