Proxy Aliens 28mm

Got my ERM Alien Queen and here it is. It's a reasonable to good model but it does look too skinny from a couple of angles I think.

Maybe a young queen? Mine is still in bits in the box. I have unfortunately I have gone all mainstream and gone with the Prodos ones. It was taking a long time to carve up GW hormogaunts and genestealers, though that was my preferred option.

That ERM Queen is a classic old Tony Yates sculpt. Love it.

Can I expect to see those on the market place then?

I'm definitely keeping the ERM ones but I'm undecided on the GW plastics. I had this notion that I'd get the Prodos ones painted up so I could game but I'd chip away at the plastics and have them as a rival subspecies, sort of like black ants vs red ants.

Well should you want shot of them may I claim first dibs?

There was an Aliens comic about rival hives of Aliens from Dark Horse many moons ago, so different colors/species of Aliens isn't unheard of.

Of course Phil.

I'm fairly sure I've got that in the attic. I have a load of Aliens and Predator comic books but I forget exactly what i have. That's probably where I got the idea from!

Does anybody remember a D&D fig that had a bit of the facehugger about it? With a parrot-beak in the 'palm'? Or, am I thinking of the Necro ripper?

I just can't shake thinking it began with a K.

One of these is the old RAFM metal, I think. The other two are newer plastic.

Those look like something out of Prometheus!

Yet another BD I've yet to watch. 

I'd forgotten about the 'suckers' on the tentacles, but they are a bit less obvious if you paint them up without accentuating with drybrushing. That beak might be a deal breaker.
