I had an army design, ordered the figures, but then a new edition of the rules (v2.0) came out…
So, while waiting for the new rules to see if my army was still legal, I painted up what I had.
And I took so long that rules v3.0 is now out! .
Note that, for some crazy reason, the Alien Squad Leader army is called the Mechanoids, but the figure range – from the Hordes of the Future 15mm line – is called Automatons.
Under 3.0 rules, the minimum army is 100 points, and 3 bases of Terminator infantry are required. I have enough figures for four bases of Terminators (mixing all types together). If I base the Tracked Heavy Automata at two per base (I think that looks best), that gives me three bases of Heavy Droids. If I add one battle mech, that will be 20 points, and put my total at 103 points.
I originally based all the models individually, thinking to use some kind of magnetic or sabot bases for these rules, but I've changed my mind and plan to rebase everything.
