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!
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

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.

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.
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!
