Especially when Mrs Nik see what he's done to the internal of her washing machine motor!
Seriously - look good so far. Where are the sentry drone guns, placed ahead of the combat force?

Haha, I was thinking something similar, or that Nik's been raiding the plumbling shelves at his local B&Q!

It's amazing what you accumulate over the years if you try hard enough
I just need to [at some point] find the time to sort these properly [as Michael from Angel Barracks has done with his Fruit Shoot & Laptop keyboard base] rather than keeping them in a box & bunging them on-table!
Anyway, these are some teaser pics - hoping to get a chance to fight this one out over the weekend...

I'd quite happily be shot into space if all astronauts were that pretty

The troopers stand alert, peering into the murky twilight:
...and as the motion sensors start picking up movement, they see shapes ahead:
The troopers wait until the hissing aliens come within short range & open up to good effect - the light tanks & the IFVs bringing their fire to bear:
The aliens screech forward:
On the left flank, troopers remain steady & open up with opportunity fire at the onrushing beasts:
On the right flank, more aliens approach the compound:
The first contact with the IFV sees the aliens rip through it like the proverbial hot knife...and the bugs rush onwards, slamming into the desperate troopers:
...who manage to force them back:
Further intense firing takes out more of the seething monstrosities:
...but they're relentless - and
fast
:
Fast and furious combat tears apart more vehicles:
Aliens consolidate into combat:
...and quickly overrun - they're in!
Game over, man...game over.

Awesome, great looking scrap there!
And I've got a great new thread to send people to for SciFi pics!

Great bug hunt or should I say... great human hunt!
Do you use future commander rulesets?
It is always a really pleasure to see 10mm sci fi figures in action!

Glad you've enjoyed this one - thought it'd be nice to have a scrap which didn't feature the Colonial Marines! This was a fascinating one as well because the first half of the battle went overwhelmingly in favour of the humans - only for that to be completely overturned once the bugs got into melee in equal-ish numbers...scary beasties!

Yes - these were played with FWC lists [HoF for troopers & Bug Colony for Aliens] - nosher's Aliens variants are much better though IMHO when you're looking to recreate the films etc...
