28mm Aliens vs Predator (+Colonial Marines)
« Antwort #15 am: 04. Februar 2013 - 22:54:53 »


UA 571-C Remote Sentry Weapons System (EM4 Miniatures)


Pulse Action Machine Gun, 500 times 10mm x 28 HEAP rounds, IR and ultrasonic tracking unit as well as ambient light optics. 60° sensor cone, 360° sweep radius when set up.


\"This area is off limits. We mean it.\"

Four of EM4 Miniatures\' beautiful sentry guns. I didn\'t do anything to them, they were built out of the bag and placed upon Sulaco Series bases from Fenris Games. I tried to paint the lenses to reflect IR and ambient light sensors. Cute little things.


EM4 Miniatures\' soldier to represent 1LT Campbell and Woodbine Miniatures\' Ripley before entering the hive - all geared up for a fight.


Campbell with M4A3 pistol, Ripley with duct-taped combo of M240 Flamer, M41 \"Pulse Rifle\" and a PDL (Personal Data Locater) in order to find Newt.


Unlike Gorman, Lieutenant Campbell is a veteran - he prefers BDUs over formal uniform. Ripley also carries a bandoleer with spare 30mm HE grenades.

Not much to say about Ripley other than she\'s in a pissed off mood represented in that Woodbine Miniature. Its her just before she enters the Alien Hive on Acheron. The miniature actually shows all the gear Ripley took with her: Flamer, Rifle, Grenade spare ammo and the PDL she was using to locate Newt\'s whereabouts.
So who the hell is Campbell I hear you say?! Well, since I will need more than one squad of Marines I have to come up with another section that also needs to be lead by a Lieutenant. Campbell is the LT that was included in the 1997 AVP collectible card game. He and all of his Marines will be based upon those playcards. That will give me another set of 12 characters for the humans.

Stay tuned. More to come...(Ripley searches for Newt. Maybe she\'ll find her once I have painted the figure :-D )

Und wenn dem so wird: zeigen, Farin! Ja, Newt wurde bereits angefangen.


\"Eager Youth\" is the youngest of my Predators. With his first trophy he now claims membership among his clan\'s blooded warriors.


The miniature is a complete repaint of one of the AVP Horrorclix figures included in the Predator set. The base once again comes from Fenris Games.


I went with glossy black for the Xenomorph trophy, flat black for the dreadlocks and bronze/iron mixture on all Predator metal surfaces. I think it looks pretty good the way it is.


This is the first time ever that I had to paint Predator skin. Looking at pics around the net gave me so many variations, that I decided to go with a base tone of khaki that was highlighted on muscle packs with two colours and finally toned down with watered down Armypainter Soft Tone. I will try to make the next Yautja a little brighter.


The face of the miniature wasn\'t that nicely sculpted, but I still tried to represent the colours of the open mouth with its manibles as seen in the movies. It adds a little colour to the whole warrior.


I tried to resemble the red blinking letters in Predator language on the controls for the Cloaking Device on \"Eager Youth\'s\" left arm.

So here it is now - my first ever painted Predator figure. I never had painted one before so this was quite challenging. There is so many pics and variations of the skin pattern around the net, that picking a suitable one wasn\'t that easy.
In the end I just painted away and added or washed over on the go.
Based upon Vallejo Khaki, that was highlighted with GW Kommando Khaki and finally GW Dheneb Stone, it was finished off by painting the sprinkles with GW Scorched Brown, before being washed over with heavily thinned Armypainter Soft Tone.
The mouth was highlighted with Vallejo Medium Flesh followed by GW Dwarf Flesh and finally GW Tentacle Pink. Teeth were done with GW Iyanden Dark Sun, Bleached Bone and finally Skull White. Same colours were picked for the nails on the fingers, which are almost claw-like.
The metal furfaces where basecoated in GW Tin Bitz before being highlighted with Revell Iron/Eisen and toned down with a wash of Armypainter Strong Tone.
All leather was done with Vallejo Saddle Brown and highlighted with GW Bestial Brown before receiving a wash with Armypainter Strong Tone.
The Xenomorph head (trophy) was painted Tamiya Flat Black, highlighted with GW Shadow Grey and its teeth with Boltgun Metal. I then coated it with the old GW Black Ink to give the upper part a shiny and glossy finish.
The spear was painted in Revell Iron/Eisen and Armypainter Weapon Bronze before being inked with Dark Tone.
The lettering on the cloaking device control pad was done in three steps: GW Crimson Gore, Blood Red and Fiery Orange.

I like how it turned out but I will replace the Khaki basecoat for the skin with something brighter on my next try.

Wayland-Yutani official Carter C. Burke and Rebecca Jordan, known as \"Newt\".


\"I\'m Burke. Carter Burke. I work for the company. But don\'t let that fool you, I\'m really an okay guy...\"


\"...That\'s the plan. You have my word on it.\"


\"We\'d better get back, \'cause it\'ll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.\"


\"Newt. My name\'s Newt. Nobody calls me Rebecca, except my brother.\"

Burke and Newt. Finally, all Aliens movie characters are done. Apart from Dropship and APC all human items for team 1 are finished with those two.
Burke (Woodbine Miniatures) is only in use when playing scenarios out of the movie, otherwise he\'s just another civilian to be rescued by the Marines. Same goes for Newt (Hasslefree Miniatures) who will be just a generic child to be rescued in most cases, but if I want to play the movie scenes I now at least own an appropriate figure.

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.

Small update, since I am currently painting lots of Battletech...   8)  

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.

\"Get away from her, bitch!\"

I played a lot of Colonial Marines on PS3 lately and was in the mood to keep advancing with my AVP project. So, I spent the whole day with painting up the last of my bases (30mm Sulaco style by Fenris Games, apart from the Queen which is mounted on a 65mm diameter base).

I was quite busy for the last four or five days, basicly working unitl the early morning hours on tables and cheat sheets for my AVP games. I had an inspiring moment when I found  a video on youtube about the 1989 Leading Edge Games board game \"Aliens\" which is completely based upon the movie with the same title.
The review was pretty nice and left me with the urgent wish to learn more about that game. Of course it is out of print since a long time ago and only from time to time you can find it on ebay. Whenever a copy of it pops up it usually sells for really high price.
But I am not interested in buying that board game, I was eager to learn how it works. I was able to find the rules online, was hooked after reading the first few pages and decided to convert into a classic tabletop game. Basicly that means: no board, but free movement and actions. It was easier than I thought to make that old board game a working frame for tabletop action in the Alien background universe. I am going to do some massive playtesting and I will let you know what I came up with when the time is right.

Like I wrote in the previous posting with the Queen\'s figure, I spent the whole day painting bases for my miniatures. I totally finished 24 Aliens yesterday and here is the result:


\"...impossible, that would be within the room!\"


all mounted on 30mm Sulaco style bases made by Fenris Games


24 should be enough for the beginning. Playtesting will show if I need to paint some more.

Really impressive. I like the dark feel of your miniatures and the shiny skin of the aliens. What you now need is some scenery with unfortunate marines and aliens. Really cool work, keep it up.
