28mm Aliens vs Predator (+Colonial Marines)

my god that Ripley figures has to be one of the ugliest, nastiest, worst sculpts I have ever seen - and it's not even from Defiance Games    I'll scratch Woodbine off of the list of potential purchases - thanks for saving me money and disappointment

Hi guys,

Not to upset the cart or anything, but I thought you might be interested in this.

Once upon a time, Mongoose was in talks with a certain film studio about a certain licence for a certain franchise. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we did a couple of prototype models...

Yeah, don't mind the chunky sculpts but the Woodbine faces are wretched.

This is a great project however and I'm enjoying the pix and progress.

I must admit I'm not a fan of the Woodbine sculpts but Sgt Scream has done a fantastic job with them.

I wouldn't! Most of their Colonial Marines are very nice, characterful sculpts.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I appreciate all feedback.

Sorry for the delay but since I have to write 3 faction books and two for gear and weaponary for my AVP game, I wasn't painting much recently.

Anyway, here is the latest addition:

He is just gaining his reputation...

The first trophy of a successful hunt. The Elder of his clan will be proud.

I went with the same colours that I already used painting "Eager Youth". The miniature is a repainted Horrorclix action figure.

The recipe for a successful hunter: Cloaking Device, Melee Claws, Ceremonial Armor and Plasma Caster.

Young Tusk is the second of my Predator Youngbloods. Like his brother Eager Youth he just claimed his first trophy, lifting him into the caste of the true warriors of his clan.
I painted both the same way, symbolizing their bond as brothers. Since Youngbloods lack the experience of elite or elder Predators, they are allowed to hunt in packs of 2-3 warriors until they reach a certain reputation. I have plans to add at least two (maybe three) more Youngbloods to chose from for AVP miniature gameplay. After those its the heros next: elite and elder Yautja.

That's my favorite one thus far.

Found this picture online and thought it is quite funny.   

Happy Easter holidays to my fellow Lead Adventurers!

[Elk101]

That's brilliant!

Those tricky aliens...

Nice, both of them 

[Sgt. Scream]

Small update, since I am currently painting lots of N-scale Battletech... 

Some test models for my Alien eggs. I tried to drybrush them with different shades of brown and added glue to the opened one to simulate the "goo". These models won't win prices, but they are good enough for gaming.
Resin models by Dark Art Miniatures ("Alien Birthing Pods").

I really like the result Sgt., kind of like a Xenomorph cream egg!

Awesome stuff...though I've never been a huge fan of those "flat" facehugger models.  I suspect they're the only ones available?

If you want some that look not too static and flat you will have to scratchbuild them. Best I've found so far (apart from self-sculpted / converted stuff).
