The Commander's Xenomorph/corporate project :D

[Commander Vyper]

Wow those face huggers look fantastic!   Strong work Mark!

Can't wait to see how they look painted!   Will they be based seperately or are they going to
be left off the base to sort of act as an alien infection/implant token for Akula's miniatures?

Cheers Dave,

Based separately, suspended in stasis jars, leaping out of eggs... you know the usual.

[Commander Vyper]

Yup have plans for a few 40mm grenade launching sentry guns, M20 sentry claymores and few M5 bounding mines too.

The Colonial Marine... one tough hombre!

Also had a containment shipping from the bioweapons division today, 14 xenomorphs in hypersleep/stasis. Don't want to wake em up until the containment fields are up and running.

Corporate is always pulling that garbage!  Make sure you get your overtime pay...

Cheers for the pic, they are scaled perfectly!  I've stole all my other ideas from you, whats one more at this stage?

No problems on the pic and don't feel guilty.... I'm preparing my consultancy invoice for you as I type.

Quite looking forward to that. But what about the knives and sharp sticks?

All covered, including tactical smart missiles, phased plasma cannon, pulse rfiles, rpgs and nukes!

That's an amazing project. The bases and Sentry Guns are great. Can't wait to see some painted Marines.

Also a great job on the huggers, nice alternative to the Zombie hands, only criticism is the size. They' re way too big in my opinion.   

And just to remark it, you can have Zombie Hand Huggers with the correct number of fingers, in fact you have to cut away the thumb in order to glue them together in the right angle.

However, keep 'em pictures coming.

Cheers,

They aren't 'way too big' they are a little out of scale but more than passable in my humble opinion.   

The thing with zombie hand huggers, (8 digits not withstanding ) is the fingers are too stubby  & short... so either way you have to compromise.

Finished the lenses and ammo boxes on the sentry guns today, may well paint up a test hugger later.

Keep you posted

I've been following your project with great interest - remiss of me not to comment! Everything looks top notch so far (those facehugger conversions are inspired!). Looking forward to seeing some of the marines painted!

 Those Facehuggers look great.Nice little project you have going.Will have to re-base my Horror Clix Aliens and Pred's too.Picked another clix pred last weekend for £2.00.

Tarantula's eating garden worms?

Well my take on facehuggers actually...

Had these knocking about for a while unpainted, have been distracted with other projects but seeing those ace huggers from Hubba and Frank's harsh critique of my WIP over on Frothers, I got off my arse and painted a couple:









Bases: Fenris Games.

[uti long smile]

They look great!

[hubbabubba]

Yep, they look much more the part now they're paited up. How about a quick drybrush in a light biege to bring out the ribbing on the bodies and the knuckles on the legs?
Good job

Have done bud, still wet with delvan mud, will take another look later and give it a bit more welly! And thanks for the push, they've been sitting on my desk for a month or so now.

Finished the sentry guns too, did the lenses (NVG & IR), and lettering on the ammo boxes and higlights a while back but never got round to photos:







Enjoy.
