Hollywood.<br /><br />They make sure that all movies have action within the first five minutes, or it can't even be a movie. :/ <br /><br />That aside, I have about 70 or so of Khurasan's Xenomorphs including their queen. They come out really nice if you use GW paints. Start black, use Chaos black to touch up the remaining metal spots missed by the spray, then dry brush any darker grey (I used Codex on some and the newer Adeptus Battlegrey on others. They came out the same)over raised surfaces, then wash with asurmen blue wash and drybrush with grey again over some spots (Unless it came out heavier the first time, then those spots should still show well.) Bam. done. Fast. Being lazy I just used basalt on the bases, painted the bases codex grey and then dry brushed Space Wolves grey over it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-87417324823003395622011-02-20T20:41:59.476+00:002011-02-20T20:41:59.476+00:00I think what they were trying to show was Gorman p...I think what they were trying to show was Gorman panicking and how these bad asses would fare with all their technological weapon advantage removed. <br /><br />They still had pistols, flamers and at least one shotgun - and I think they could have made more of that. Also, I would have had Apone going down fighting madly, holding a rearguard action.<br /><br />There's plenty of holes in the movie if you care to pick. 50 rounds apiece for the Pulse Rifles and how many did they use up on the facehuggers in the Med Lab? Did they really need both sentry guns in each tunnel to be armed at the same time? Why was the dropship dirty when it was leaving the Sulacco? Completely non-Corps. Why didn't they have showers when they came out of hibernation. Even just to warm up?<br /><br />But it's still a great piece of gritty Sci Fi entertainment. <br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-23095254351033070662011-02-20T20:23:46.654+00:002011-02-20T20:23:46.654+00:00There's a lot to enjoy in Aliens, and the fina...There's a lot to enjoy in Aliens, and the final smackdown with the powerloader is rightly iconic, but some of the plot-spannering going on is just silly. An officer who sends his troops into combat unarmed? Really?

She's scared to death of them!<br /><br />Sounds like you had a good time, with some good ideas bubbling over!<br /><br />Pendraken do some 10mm aliens, which are cool for masses of them. As for 15mm, I am going to get some Khurasan ones too. <br /><br />RobRob Aldermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320524332541331132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-5289709659347552512011-02-20T16:05:16.979+00:002011-02-20T16:05:16.979+00:00Sounds like you had a very, very fun night! :DSounds like you had a very, very fun night! :DOmer Golan-Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242085820257230639noreply@blogger.com
