WEYLAND-YUTANI Commandos

The first figures for the human faction in the Aliens universe are finished: Weyland-Yutani Commandos, which are obviously elite in comparison to the better known Colonial Marines, given that their stats in the game are above the marines level.
Die ersten Figuren für die menschliche Fraktion im Aliens-Universum sind fertig: Weyland-Yutani Commandos, die man als Elite gegenüber den bekannteren Colonial Marines betrachten darf, da ihre Werte im Spiel deutlich besser sind.
Michi hat eine Gruppe angemalt, von der ein Mitglied zusätzlich zu seinem Pulse Rifle noch einen regelgerechten Motion Tracker erhalten hat, den eine Marine-Figur opfern musste:


Michi has painted a squad of five commandos. One of them received a motion tracker donated by a marine model to have a rule-conform assembly.
Außerdem kann die Gruppe regelkonform mit bis zu drei Commandos verstärkt werden, die entweder alle mit M41 Pulse Rifles oder bis zu zwei von ihnen mit Smart Guns ausgerüstet sein dürfen. Hier sind die Verstärkungen zur Auswahl:
A squad of Weyland-Yutani Commandos can be reinforced with up to three commandos. These can be equipped with either M41 pulse rifles or up to two can carry smart guns.
Die menschliche Fraktion benötigt nach den Spielregeln auch einen oder zwei Anführer. Keinen davon kann man bisher als Modell bei Prodos Games bekommen. Also hat Michi einen durch die dargestellte Bewaffnung regelkonformen Captain der Weyland-Yutani Commandos aus mehreren Figuren zusammengebaut:
The human faction must have one or two leaders in the game. None of these are available as models by Prodos Games yet. Therefore Michi has built his own Weyland-Yutani Commandos Captain by slaughtering and reassembling several miniatures. This one is now equipped with a rule-conform set of weaponry.



Der Größenvergleich mit einem Alien Infant Warrior zeigt die körperliche Unterlegenheit der Menschen in diesem Spiel:
The comparison shot with the Alien Infant Warrior (classic Alien from the first movie) is showing the physical inferiority of the humans in the game.

XENOMORPHS

Michi has finished all of the Aliens models 
for the Alien vs Predator game by Prodos.
Here is the Queen:



 Next are the Royal Guards or Pretorians:


A Predator mask that was left over from a conversion 
was added to one of those very nice Sulaco bases from Fenris Games:
 Here comes the infamous Predalien, 
another HQ option for the Alien faction in the game:



 21 so called Infant Alien Warriors are the core of the Alien force:

 11 Alien Stalkers reinforce the warriors:
 Finally 5 (adult) Alien Warriors
add to the main force of troops as well:
 New recruits for the Aliens can be provided by Facehuggers 
who implant Xenomorph embrios into their opponents:
 And there is this big massive Alien Crusher 
to add some extra power to the Xenomorph attacks:



 The great Sulaco bases were painted leather brown with silver Alien infestations. 
Both were washed with a Sepia wash.
An additional black wash and 
a gloss varnish was applied for the infestations:

The Facehuggers were painted white and washed with Sepia:
 The Xenomorphs were painted black, 
drybrushed with silver, 
washed with black and gloss varnished:
The "family" photo of the hive shows 
the different sizes of those 28mm scale Xenomorphs. 
The bases are 30, 40 and 50mm in diameter.
