One of those 'I'll never use it but I need it' purchases. Huge fan of Aliens, and I've been eyeing up the Marines set that very sensibly they sell separate from the new Aliens board game. Saying that, I did use them on Wednesday when Cliff at the LB club brought his copy of 'Space Hulk' down and we played it properly!

Awesome!
Hudson : Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours!
Ripley : Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.
Hudson : Well f@#$%in'-A man, why don't you put her in f@#$%in' charge?
V/R,
Jack
Agreed Jack, looks tremendous Lord Speedy......Aliens certainly is a fairly iconic movie :)
Hudson: "We're on a express elevator to hell.....go'in down!!!"
Looking great!
Classic movie ... classic all time favorite TT game ... what is not to love :+)
(PS ... I've now lost all the emojies ... what are you all doing !!! ... the new forum work fine for me at the beginning .... sigh!)
I like those!
Nice stuff
And now something really scary (yes, the time it took to assemble them)

Holy @#$%, Lemmey, those are creepy as hell! Great work on those aliens, and the Marines are, of course, awesome ;)
"Hey Vaz, anyone ever mistake you for man?"
"No Hudson, how 'bout you?" ;D ;D ;D
V/R,

Brilliant job on the Aliens, Will. Very atmospheric.
Thanks chaps
Was up at Boards and Swords the other week, and after playing a fair amount of 'Xenos Rampant', I noticed Rob & Manny had a copy of the "get away from her you B****!" expansion.
Which includes 'enraged' Ripley - i.e. Ripley with Newt, Ripley in Power Loader, Bishop being normal and half a Bishop!
It also included the Alien Queen, Greater Xenomorph anyone!

Very nicely done - those aliens look like they mean business!
The "ad-line" from the first movie seems appropriate here....."in space no-one can hear you scream"
A few extra bits of usefullness to run the game next week.
The stuff of nightmares, a pair of facehuggers!

Very cool thread! :-bd
I went with the other option and bought the Prodos Games AVP stuff, not that I've ever touched them, really. Hoping that now they're OOP, I can make a small fortune on eBay and blow the money on 10mm Cold War toys from some miniature company in Middlesbrough :)

Most excellent, and good to see the Commodore Pet making a comeback.
