We got nukes, we got knives, we got sharp sticks!

I distinctly recall the first time I saw 'Aliens'- I had recorded it on VCR because it was on in the middle of the night- it was the extended version with the sentry guns. I was on the edge of my seat with this awesome film. Ripley has saved Newt but is being chased by the Queen. Ripley gets to the landing pad- but the dropship has gone! The Queen comes up the lift, the doors open- and the video ran out of tape. I swear it was a year or two until I saw what happened next- talk about a  cliff-hanger! It's still one of my all-time favourites.

Khurasan's Exterminators. These were an instant must.



If, perchance, you chose to paint them like the 'Aliens' USCM, there's a lot of helpful pictures on the web and the double-disk DVD.

Uniform: basecoat khaki, Y-stripes in dark grey and dark sand

Armour: Olive green, y-stripes in dark brown and sand, stripes in cream and black


Still working on taking better photos. The quick example of the camo pattern above is a little bit lighter in the flesh- the palette is white. Camo is hard in 15mm- you want to get the effect, but not at the expense of a drab mini on the tabletop.

I love these miniatures, I really hope the range of infantry expands to give more variations, support weapons and higher command options.
