So based on Legends of the Old West / Legends of the High Seas rules?

What mods and stuff to turn it into Aliens?

Lord of the rings.

Lord of the rings.

Yes they also use the LotR base rules with the notable exception being adding in guns. I assumed the "Legends" was a hint. I could of course be wrong.

Another rule set that has sprung up in my memory is from the Star Wars CMG, it was quite a fun game largely to do with the constant back and forth of each player using 2 models then back to the other player which made it far more fun to have characters leap frogging and other manoeuvres which translate poorly in I go You go rules. Also I have all those starship maps I forgot about.

Tiny update



sculpting feet on Bishop





and ruining my hand hacking the bases off of facehuggers with side cutters and a big box cutter. Oh if you are curious about the big alien in the back there it is a Hellion from Kryomek with Genestealer arms instead of his sword weilding arms. I should try and get a few more to use as Praetorians

[Commander Vyper]

Thst kyromek praetorian is inspired. Nabbing that.

[Sgt. Scream]

That Praetorian idea is a very good one. What's the exact product code of the Kryomek miniatures you've been using for the conversion?

KKO-002 is the pack. I bought them years ago but have no idea where the 2nd one went. I think any of the warriors would work as praetorians but I don't like the spike ridges on some of them and I know some of them have weird shield things stuck to their legs so I'd avoid them.

[Commander Vyper]

U using those cobalt marines as promethus crew evo suits?

[Sgt. Scream]

Thanks!   Noted for future use.

well spotted, was looking for something like this



I bought the cobalt guys years ago cause the clear helmets were cool. Just wish I knew where the helmets went. Was going to buy another pack to make a squad but they don't even come with clear helmets anymore just metal domes

Anyone know of other 28mm pressure suit options?

[Commander Vyper]

Yeah I did wonder.

Use the metal one as a blank for a clear dome vac forming experiment.

could we get a shot of custom alien. Looks great would like to see it in better detail

Unfortunately photobucket has again run out of bandwidth

I think direct links should still work they just won't be visible in the forum

He really isn't converted much. I cut off the molded on base and the horn on the front of his head and sanded it smooth. Left off his arms and glued on plastic genestealer front arms in their place.
