These are some grey aliens I bought on impulse from 15mm.co.uk.

I´ve been playing Flames of War for a some time now, and when I read Dan Masseys article (http://www.danmassey.com/?postid=20) in which he fleshed out a Grey Alien list to be used with the FoW rules, I couldn't help myself thinking "Alien Invasion in WW2"

I immediately ordered the Aliens from 15mm.co.uk (excellent service by the way) and some days later I had them based and ready for priming (enter the "before shots"):

Group view:

Detail of the command stands:

On to the painted "after shots" (these were fun to paint

):

Group shot of the Landing Party:

Science team (left), Commander team (right), with Giant Golden Robots and UFO on the background:

Detail of UFO (cupola is removable):

All good fun to paint, and awaiting the chance to face some Soviets or Germans on the table

Cheers,
Torradas

They look like huge fun, nicely done, the weird devices on the science team are great.

Well done! Clever to do this Flames of War style. They're painted very nicely.

An army of Gorts! Cool! Where's Michael Rennie?

(Edited for not being able to spell 'army')

Yep. The robots "could" (should?) look more like this:

But I couldn´t resist doing them golden. More "Flash Gordiny" so to speak.

Thanks for the comments guys

Thanks for posting. These are lovely.

That film was in black and white, I always imagined him as golden anyway, so it don't matter.

WHAT a coincidence, I read the same article, thought the same and ordered mine too!
They just did not arrive so far.

After seeing yours I am really looking forward to these minis!

Great job!

These look fantastic - even followed the link, downloaded the rules and had to stop myself from ordering the range of figures. will do eventualy have to finish my FOW para's first

Have you played with them yet

how did you find the rules - if you reed the comments on the web site he says that he is working on some changes

Agis · « **Reply #9 on:** October 27, 2007, 04:32:35 PM »

Recieved my minis today!

And Boy did I love :love: them, very good minis, highly recommended!

Torradas · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2007, 12:32:43 AM »

Yes, the detail on the minis is excellent: and mind you that they are quite a bit smaller than a 15mm "human" (they are about the same size as an Old Glory Napoleon sitting with his feet up in a drum, but I would imagine that reference will only make sense to a very limited number of people

).

They are yet to be played, unfortunately

Hope that changes over this month. If I do get the chance to play them and I manage to take some pics, I´ll write up a report and post it here

Thanks for the comments guys

Cheers,
Torradas

Those little grey chaps are great :love:

I can imagine using them in 28mm games - after all how tall is a grey? :

Cheers,

My friends ran a War of the Worlds game at the Fall In convention this past weekend (for which I helped make the table). I took a lot of photos of it.
