I am planning a project that we had in mind for a lot of years, well for telling the truth since we discovered pendraken. Aliens !
There are fantastic work of Nirkharwood with a plenty force of space marines vs aliens, also remember the more recent mad lemmy aliens, and a beautiful Wayland utany facility made by... can not remember his name, but had made a great great work.
My alien project is representing the characters of the film and base them to play some mini games with the following rulesets: Crossfire (sci mod) / Future war Commander / Aliens a mini game from Warrior company
The figures planned are:

There is a modification because instead of two bases with 3 infantry marines I will go for three bases of 2 inf marines. Maybe Hudson + Hicks / Frost + Crow / and finally Wierdbosky + Dietrich
I am asking for a little bit of help: Which army list of FWC would you use for Space Marines and which for the Aliens?
Bishop, synthetic? I prefer the term: "artificial person" myself. :D
Cannot wait to see this develop Chaos. ;)
Great films!

Good point :D
It could take a little bit long, as I had to wait to arrive the order with the bases (and warband rulesets). And also have some units in the paint pipeline, but the mini project is taking shape.
As I am not founding opponent in my actual city and also I do not have to much time for the hobby, I am moving to small little projects that can solo game myself.
don't forget to recommend me a list for (FWC), please :-/ (have my own ideas, but I would like to know how people handle the armylists of aliens)
Glad to be an inspiration.
Two questions:
1) Why is this down under 'Non-Pendraken'
2) Where's the Sarge man? Where's the Sarge?
;D
If you want the layouts from the classic board game of Aliens, try this:

Warning: this will take over your life!
I'm just about to start some Aliens too...
Hi, good game - warrior ruleset is also very very simple, like the boar Game !
It is under non pendraken because there are a mix of Pendraken and Warrior figures, so I though it belongs to these category, but it is true also that things are not too strics here around.

... the boar Game !
Are we back to the Boar Wars now?
I'm mostly looking forward to how this turns out...mostly

Interesting project JChaos, please update us as you go.
how will it turn out? either just another bug hunt or everyone on the dropship is on a one way express elevator to.....LV462 :-\

If just one of those things gets down here, then that will be all.

One Queen and as many Aliens as inhabitants... In the case of LV-426....158. Based on the film as many eggs as you want.
Good idea two minis at stand. In the Colonial Marines tactical manual two men forms a fire team.

Looking for a dropship in 10mm for alien I see quite acceptable from Dropzone Commander the UCM Raven B.
For APC, the pendraken on (If I found it in my mountain of lead) or Dropzone Commander UCM bear APC.
I ran out bases, I hope my order will be close to be recieved.
Anyway I am searching for base material... not decide it yet.
About the table... Any idea of how to make in a cheap and easy way the Reactor Room or the hospital complex?
Are there any paper model download that could fit?
Any ideas?

Hello Mr. GrumpyOldMan,
Thanks you very much for the links, they are awesome! 8)
:-\ nuke the sight from orbit....its the only way to be sure
Yes, but it's not much of a game is it?
more of a modelling challenge. How to get that much cotton wool to stand upright :)

He can't make that kind of decision, he's just a grunt.
no offense
None taken ;)
Brilliant stuff and ideas :)
The really love the grid for the bases :-bd
Ignore this.
None the wiser. "The" what?
Just a typo, FierceKitty... I meant "I really love the idea of the grid for the bases"
In fact, I am going to borrow it for basing my figures :D
Ah, now I can sleep again.
Here it goes space marines Aliens project completed

Awesome!!
How many times did you have to watch the film (as a painting guide of course!)
Have you done the Aliens yet?
One little suggestion - try painting the grid pattern over the bases - they might blend in a little more.
Very nice work!

I've seen the movie more than a couple times ;)
I am painting the alines using mad lemmey method, with colour variations (red, blue and black)
Thanks for the suggestion! The pattern is net against mosquitoos, very very cheap and easy to cut with scissors.
Those are terrific, J.
Smashing job !!
Cheers - Phil
Great job on those, one of my favorite films.
kev
Very well done :-bd
Looking forward to see the Aliens
Very nice indeed
Take care

Shhhh! The mosquitoes might be listening!
Is it me, or does Goreman look like Heisenberg?
Holy cow, those are amazing JChaos!
I'm not interested in fighting aliens, but that sure makes me start thinking about other enemies for those Colonial Marines...

Preds?

Have a bunch of lizardmen with laser painted, and also I have some shatari on the way (just for mixing concepts)
Time for Aliens
Figures from warrior miniatures, painting inspired by Mad Lemmy "how to paint aliens" and "Dereck" (Immi's Dinosaur). Thanks.

Where's Ms Weaver in a tee-shirt?
Not T-shirt, but with leather jacket as in the James Cameron Film

Also try to made the exoskelleton-Loader. But I could find a proper model in 10mm to represent it. :(
