XCOM:Defense project

[Hayden]

as i mentioned in other thread about Ufo:Enemy unkown gruntz gaming i decided to recreate this setting in Gruntz my friend agreed (We must build proper XCOM terrain though ;D)

I decided for Khurasan martians to be my Sectoids army - i know they are not like game aliens but i like to little tone up game to modern setting.

For XCOM there will be various figures because of setting in early war i will suggest they will look like modern day Specops - High speed low drag gear and weapons i suggesting either using SEALS from Khurasan or modern day infantry from rebel - maybe even Red Faction from Khurasan will make nice infantry.
for mid-war where humans are equipped with laser weaponery and advanced personal armour i suggest Khurasan corporate marines.
still dont know what for late where humans are using power armour with or without jumppacks.

just brainstorming any suggestions?

For aliens:
Sectoids - any Greys you like (I recommend the 15mm.co.uk ones but Rebel Minis and GZG have ones too)
Snakemen - Critical Mass games Astagar
Ethereals - 15mm.co.uk Cultists

For X-Com:
Early War - Rebel Minis USA Special Forces or Khurasan SEALS DEVGRU.
Mid-War - Rebel Minis Titan Marines or Khurasan Federal Army
Late War - 15mm.co.uk Laserburn Imperials in power armour.

well about sectoids
there is problem for me:
I dont like Rebel ones dont know why they have nicest weapons from the three you type. 15mmcouk have coolest models but that wacky weapons and equip is strange. and GZG dont appeal me they are nice sculpts but dont fit my style for this reason i particulary like these guys.

You could get away with the Khurasan Vespids. I know they are wasp-like but they are such nice models that they could be used as a decent alien insectoid type.

Well for regular games i bought few Infinity Combined army Drones
i would use them as biomecha/vehicles




and thinking about Micropanzer Krystrial Empire Riavaui

Both those minis look like suitable Bio centric troops types.

I have been working on the same idea and have been using these guys for my late tech humans:
