A small force to fight my Xenomorphs. A few more grunts in the post to bring it up to three platoons but these will be seeing action very soon.

Full details and many photos here:

Nice who makes those APC?
I am experimenting with different weapons on the robot gun drones currently.

Hi, the Marines are from Kryomek and the APC's are ex Gzg Stargrunt resin.

Vehicles here:

Just bought 4.

Very nice looking troops and vehicles!

Thanks,

John

A tough-looking force.

Beautiful work as always. The Kryomek marines look better based 3 figures to a stand IMHO. These guys really look like the marines from the movie, especially with those APCs.

In case anybody missed them, here are the xenomorphs.

Your whole FUTURE WAR project is extremely nice! Looks great as is normal for you. grin While I like Crossfire I don't think I'd use them for scifi as you have done. The basing used for 28mm just seems way too restrictive to me. I'd have likely used magnetic basing to keep them separate and useable for other sets of rules.

Thanks,

John

Because I use Crossfire for almost everything using guns I can use all my figures in all my games if I want; Sci fi, horror, superheroes, cyberpunk, modern, zombies, whatever.

I have no use at all for single figures and I actively dislike them except in very special and rare circumstances. The idea that basing them in groups is restrictive is just not true in my case :)

Gotcha! Like I said I like the rules a lot! Just curious.

Thanks,

John

I like the basing -I'm limbering up for basing a lot of my 40K stuff like this -I've already done my Kryomeks on the back of Matakishis stuff.

Looking very nice..

Are the xeno's all kryomek ones?

Matakishi17 Jul 2011 4:03 a.m. PST

Yes, all Kryomek.

I have several old Future Wars fellows in my 3d version of the Leading Edge Aliens boardgame. Vasquez is a bit 'embarrassing'.

The fellow that painted up the grunts decided she needed to be developed in more than just her, ah, biceps…

However, definitely individual based.
