Today I also finished assembling the last of my Aliens forces. Although it'll be a lot of fun using just the Aliens themselves, I also wanted to have some bigger creatures to even the odds out against Armoured Vehicles, Mechs and Air support. The latter especially because essentially Air Support will be immune to Aliens attacking them unless the Aliens can catch them landing to drop off/pick up troops or equipment. These guys will provide some much needed AA, as well as some quick Brood delivery and hard hitting ranged tank killing capacity. It'll be a while before I start painting these as I am going to swing back to my Terran Commando's for a while and paint some more of those guys...

I finished painting up three of each of the Tunnel Entrances for my Aliens force. I'll get to use them in a couple of games on Monday...

The entrances came out well. I can't believe how quickly you have prepared two massive forces!

I'm going to make two more so there is a bit more variety in Tunnel Entrances. One will be a mineshaft but I'm not sure what the other one will be yet...

If you want some giggles have one of the entrances/exits as a toilet or a row of toilets or a broken toilet with water on tiles or similar

I feel like I'm extremely late to the party here, but I just wanted to voice my surprise at the fact that I gave you the idea to use Tyranid models for your alien army. I'm always happy to be giving people ideas, and it looks like between the two of us, you've been much more productive! Hopefully after Halloween I'll be able to squeeze in a few minutes before bedtime and after homework to get a bit of painting in. I haven't even had time to take any pictures of the little progress I've made! Do you think you'll eventually add some of the other Space Demon models to your army? I agree with you in that most of them don't match what I envision as Aliens either. I wish they had more heavy monsters other than the Tripod Collosus. I do plan on one day buying either the Queen or King model (maybe both) as well as the Shockforce gunners, and I may even spring for the Demon/Dragon Queen, just because it seems cool, but I wish there were more pictures of it from different angles...

Xantige
I would contact Jon at Khurasan and ask if he has any other photos of the dragon queen. He's always very helpful.

Thanks Xantige. I really liked where you were going with your army and thought it was such a great idea that I'd take a similar line. Thanks for the inspiration I know what you mean about pics from different angles. One of the things I found annoying when I first started looking at 15mm was that most of the companies didn't have very good pics of their miniatures up on their websites so you could easily choose.

OFF TOPIC Aliens Queens seam smart. Smart enough to tell her drones to pick up weapons. That would be just wicked to see the race progress as tribes with each one having different stolen tech and equipment from fallen foes.
I would love to see some Space Demons with acquired pulse rifles.

It has driven me quite mad how many companies dont have images at all of their products. I cannot fathom how they remain in business when their customers do not know what products they are selling apart from a vauge description.

Yeah, Ground Zero Games is the worst I think. Although the lack of angles and unpainted models on Critical Mass's site can also bother me sometimes. I'm quite cautious of online shopping, and while I'm sure most mini companies aren't swindlers, it doesn't help sway me to buy models when I can't fully tell what I may be getting. Xantige I would contact Jon at Khurasan and ask if he has any other photos of the dragon queen. He's always very helpful. That's a very good point. I may just do that.

Here's an update on this Aliens thread too. All I need to do for this force to be completed is the large Alien Commander, which is the GW Tyranid Hive Tyrant model from quite a few years ago that looks like the Aliens Hive Mother from the movie Aliens. I should have that finished by the end of the week.
