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!

The heroes of Hadley's Hope


Apone, Hicks and Deitrich


'Eat this!'


Bases come pre sculpted with names too


Weisbowski, Crowe, Hudson and Frost


Team of ultimate badarses!


The camo nearly sent me blind!


Vasquez and Drake


Love the animation on these two


Drake was a nightmare to assemble, all the rest were a dream


Gorman and Burke


One a man out of his depth, the other a nasty little toad


Newt and Ripley


Newt's sculpt is soooo cute


And here they are in action on Wednesday, Three of us played 4 games, it was hilarious!

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,

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!!!"

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

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

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!

Power Loader and Queen


Back view, the yellow has worked really well


From above


It's behind you!


Conga line?


Annoyed Ripley and Newt


She's not happy


Tooled up


Back view


Bishop and half-a-Bishop!


He's a bit of a mess!


I can remote pilot the dropship.


Bald patch?

Got hold of the 'In The Pipe, Five-by-Five' expansion.
So, here we go, Ferro and Spunkmeyer.


Pistols vs Aliens, not going to end well.


Useful that the name the bases, allows you to identify the bodies...


Pew?


The four named and different warriors, the Guard, Brute, Sulker and Scout, just givves you a bit of variety.


Interesting poses


Waiting


And Ferro's spare head


Four more alien drones from the original set. Well, I needed all eight for last night's game.


In motion


Tail swish...


Charge


Odds on the black guys
