"We're On An Express Elevator To Hell, Goin' Down!"
Over the last few days, my friends and I have been rewatching all the ALIEN movies, and it has put me in the mood for even more grungy sci-fi horror. We're actually planning to play a cinematic adventure (aka a oneshot) with the Alien RPG, but that's not really relevant to this solo focused blog.
Instead, I want to share some minis I painted a while back for the Aliens: Another Day in the Corps boardgame.
They are the playable characters from the core game, and I really enjoyed painting them. The sculpt is quite defined, and they are easily identifiable, even without their name on the base.
EDIT: I just realized that I painted Frost with the wrong skin color. Definitely need to go back and fix that one.
The armor camouflage looks intimidating to paint, but it's pretty much just random overlapping lines and easier to paint than you might think. Here is the picture that I used for reference.
The game has a couple of expansions, but they are ridiculously expensive, and I don't think that I'll ever own them.
I mostly bought the game because I wanted Alien miniatures for various skirmish games, but I did spend the time to play through the campaign.
It was ok. Not great, not terrible.
A few months have passed since then, and I can't remember any particularly exciting moment. I also don't feel the desire to go back and play one of the 'Bug Hunt' scenarios or even replay the campaign again.
Tl;dr: Only buy the game if you want the miniatures and can use them for other games.
