For these (the aliens' outfits in the 1983 show):

Would these work, if painted right?

How about the new Earth Force Infiltrators by rebel miniatures, with a head swap.

Not sure what head to put on them though.

Try the GZG militia. If I remember rightly they come in baseball caps.

Given up for good06 Oct 2009 9:24 a.m. PST

I think they would work for the foot troop fine picture though you may wish to file the visor down grin

For day to day leaders the GZG SG15 C1 / C5 Colonial troops picture would be better

I was thinking more of these.

Look at SG15-V5 and V6 – Baseball caps.

Altius06 Oct 2009 12:29 p.m. PST

If you're going for the baseball cap look, Peter Pig has "hardened militia": picture

What do you think?

YES! red / black – they work!

Red and black, like this?

Or do you think that the new series will use a different color scheme? Perhaps in blue, as with the uniform of their human ambassadors of peace?

By the way, I've just finished watching the first episode.

Oh yeah. I see a lot of cool gaming scenarios coming out of the new V series!!!

Ok. I think the Old Crow Infantry are nearly perfect for the job:

B) Or should I go with the Peace Ambassador Program look?

C) Or should I just wait to see what the actual troops will look like in the new V series?

D) Or should I play it safe and just go with this somber look?

ARRRRRGH! I don't know what to do. I think I must be going mad!!!!!!!

And the problem is that, when they finally reveal the V troops, they'll probably go with something more along these lines:

And then I'll have to start my searches and decisions all over AGAIN!!!!!!

Well, these are the little ships I am planning to use to shuttle around my Old Crow "Visitors":

By the way, if someone is looking for an actual "V" shuttle, this ebay seller seems to have them every so often:

However, I'm not sure if it is a perfect match with 15mm figures or not.

This is interesting. I didn't know that there was an entire series of DC comics on The Visitors:

What do you think of that ship?

I wonder if this could be done using styrene instead of paper:

Suggestions?

What do you think of that ship?

Looks too much like the fuselage and front end of a jumbo jet to me, prefer the original shuttles.

Cacique Caribe23 Feb 2010 4:22 a.m. PST

This style?

Hmmm.

I guess that, if you want to be truly diabolical, you've actually got to enjoy messing with the minds and spirit of your victims, not just their persons.

Like a cat playing with its prey, making them think like they have a snowball's chance in hell, a truly evil species would have to enjoy inflicting and observing our emotional and physical pain. They would have to want to make us suffer.

Otherwise, they would just be simply be doing things necessary for their survival. And, nowadays, we can't be going around blaming people for doing that, now can we? :)

Man, those aliens from "V" really look like they enjoy playing with their food:

For a really cool discussion on what would happen years after the US, UK and other nations freed themselves from the Visitors, see here:

Lots of gaming scenario potential.
