I've been slowly getting the stuff together to do a Sci-Fi skirmish game based on the Aliens movie. I'll be using the 5150 rules. Here is a picture of some of the miniatures. Most notable are the "dead" alien markers I scratch built.

Those are pretty, Dave!

These the Pendraken aliens? Where'd you ge these?

Cheers!

Um… From Pendraken…. They do do mail order.

DontFearDareaper Fezian21 Mar 2008 9:21 a.m. PST

They are the QRF miniatures and sold by LKM

Those are really sharp; I'm amazed on how many people play 15MM science fiction.

Cool stuff!

Great work on the fallen aliens. And watch out for those fase-huggers that are moving in.

I have been eyeing that line for a long time. (The aliens were part of the FreiKorp line for years).

Keep us inform, I want to see what you come up with for terrain.

I got a bunch of these when FreiKorp still made them, they're nice figures and large enough to threaten your 25/28mm guys as well as your 15mm!

Couple of old pictures here: warbard.ca/sg2gallery3.html

I like the 'killed alien' markers, DontFearDareaper.

…when FreiKorp still made them…

Freikorp still do make 'em. It's just that we now own Friekorp. :-)

We 'restructured' so they are listed under the post-1900 brand, QRF, along with the sci-fi vehicles and the carnivorous plants. The dinosaurs, on the other hand, have their own section.

Those aliens look exactly like the Pendraken ones I've got. Check out the first pic.

Heh, heh, you're right (hadn't even looked at the photos!) Those are the Pendraken ones, not ours. Dave confusing the issue by saying they are ours. Surprised no-one else picked it up before! :-D

Ours can be seen on the website, and in Brian's link above.

DontFearDareaper Fezian22 Mar 2008 9:33 a.m. PST

Actually its a mix of both. Some of the figures were given to me (must be the Pendraken ones) the others I ordered from LKM just a few weeks ago.

I think the crouching ones with the tails up are Pendraken. The one top right is ours.

I know it's tacky to re-animate a dead thread like this, but does anyone know what happened to the Freikorps science fiction line? I searched the QRF site without any luck, and received no reply when I sent them an email. I suppose this implies that are no longer available, but hope springs eternal.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Mark

…and within an hour of my posting the above, I heard back from Harry (new owner?) at QRF:

I have managed to sort through another batch of moulds this week and have the figures you are asking about. I will get them up on the website in the next couple of weeks so please do check back soon.

So I guess they'll be available again soon!
