Bases are from Fenris Games\' Sulaco series, Cpl. Hicks also has a M41 \"Pulse Rifle\" strapped to his back.


Pfc. Vasquez wielding a M56 \"Smartgun\", Pvt. Crowe armed with a M41 \"Pulse Rifle\"


Vasquez\' gun has been slightly modified, just like the counterpart of Pvt. Drake


Section 1, led into combat by GySgt. Apone.


GySgt. Apone armed with VP-70 pistol, M240 Flamethrower and equipped with IR Binocculars


M41 \"Pulse Rifle\" on Apone\'s back, making him the best-armed Marine of the section   :D  


AVP project: humans painted so far (January 2013)

So here we are, finally in the year 2013. Projects don\'t get completed as fast as I was hoping for. Serious illness of a family member prevents me from painting most of the stuff that sits on my table currently. Small progress was made over the weekend, as I finally was able to get at least section #1 of my Colonial Marines completed. Next addition will be the supporting characters like Gorman, Ripley, the Dropship crew etc.
Once again I am not completely satisfied - I just can\'t make it happen - faces on my miniatures still look horribly. 20+ years in the hobby and I still can\'t paint them to a comfortable standard   :(  
Maybe that\'s why I do prefer 28mm figures to have fully enclosed helmets?!   :thumbsup:

The long painting war continues...

Sgt. Scream:

Leading officer of my Colonial Marine forces: 2nd Lt. Gorman (Woodbine Miniatures)


Not really expecting to be out in the fight, Gorman still got injured early in the mission


Standard issue khaki coloured uniform and only a VP-70 pistol - Gorman didn\'t expect to be in a fight (no, really!)

Not much to show at all but I managed to get Gorman painted. He\'s another piece of the Woodbine Miniatures Character Set. Depicted is Gorman later during the campaign, after he injured his head, when the remaining Marines were fleeing the planetary processing unit in an APC.

I went with a really simple scheme, showing the Marine standard issue one-colour field dress (khaki). I was however trying to add as many of the patches that are seen in the movie as possible. So, Gorman sports both USCM badges (shoulder and chest pocket) and an US flag. The green stripes on the chest are supposed to resemble his name tags and service branch (Marines).

Gorman is un-armed apart from a VP-70 pistol.

Stay tuned for more AVP items in the next couple of weeks.

Update: Alien Warriors and Royal Guards


\"They grow into killers in a matter of days\" - Alien Warrior drone


Alien Warrior (rebased WizKids Horrorclix figures)


Since there is different types of Xenomorphs the bases are marked (\"Warrior\")


\"They protect the Queen with their lives\" - Alien Royal Guard


Three Royal Guards. These are even more dangerous than regular Warrior drones


First batch of Alien Xenomorphs ready for gaming


...there is way more where these are coming from :-)

As the core of my Colonial Marines is finished it was about time to add some stuff to the opposition. In this case it is going to be Aliens of two types to start my \"hive\": Warrior and Royal Guard drones. I am aware that the Pretorians (as the Guards are also known as) would normally look different, but there is no miniatures available for them and I wanted to have some variation in my forces.
So the climbing Alien figures are all going to be Royal Guards while the other miniatures are going to be either Warriors for the most part.
Royal Guards are rare and chances for them to appear will be low in our games, but naturally they will be encountered en masse if you are coming to close to a breeding chamber of a Queen.
The regular Warrior drones are what is going to be the main enemy encountered by Predators and Humans alike. I have a huge pile of these figures and there will be plenty of these - some 40 or so.

Bases are once again from Fenris Games, the Alien saliva is made out of glue. Just put a few drops down into an old lid of a bottle and wait a few minutes for the glue to start to bond. Then use a toothpick and start to pull drips of glue out of it - the glue starts to leave thin strings - and add it to the jaws of the Aliens. Done!

MacGuffin:
Wow, die Aliens sind klasse geworden.
Bei der Marine-Truppe reißens auch meiner Meinung nach die Figuren rein, während die Bemalung selbst gut ist.
(Ich tendiere da wohl eher zu Hasslefree, aber nicht allem, was ne Pulse Rifle hat, sondern nur bestimmte Figuren. Dazu hab ich schon ein paar Eigenbauten aus den Pulse Rifles, die es bei HF direkt gibt, und Warlord Plastik-Commandos mit AT-43-Köpfen gemacht, als generische Weyland-Truppe.)

Aber bei den Aliens kommt richtig Stimmung auf - vor allem der Sabber ist großartig!
Nur kriegt man die Figuren heut noch irgendwo? Predator hab ich über Battlefield Berlin nen echt hübschen gekriegt, aber die Aliens, die Aliens... die Hauptattraktion fehlt mir nach wie vor!

--- Ende Zitat ---

Naja, die Figuren werden immer wieder zerpflückt für ihre comic-artigen Gesichter, bzw. ihren Holzpuppencharakter. Mir persönlich gefallen sie sehr gut, nur kann ich einfach keine Gesichter malen. *seufz*
Von Hasslefree hab ich meine Newt und die beiden Smartgunner für die zweite Section.

Aliens kriegst du nur noch für völlig überteuerte Preise. Entweder bis zu 15 Dollar für eine Figur (!!!) oder aber bis zu 200 Dollar für 7 wenn sie noch in der Box sind. Die sind seit Jahren nicht mehr neu erhältlich. Was es gibt, sind z.b. Köpfe im Giger Design um Tyranniden umzubauen.



Ten done so far. Only 30 to go.


Another bunch of teeth, flailing tailspears and razor-sharp claws.


Standard Xenomorph Warrior drones. There will be a lot more of them.
