10mm Aliens Army



 My Full Aliens Army, ready for action.  I will be adding to it as I go, from the games we have already played I think we need 'more Aliens!'

All Figures are from Pendraken Miniatures in 10mm Scale.

 Alien Norn Queen, The big boss.  She dispenses D4 Facehuggers per turn which is handy on occasion.

 Queens!  Yes I have 3.  We use the Norn Queen as C-in-C and the lesser Queens as Sub Commanders, If the boss is killed one can upgrade to a Norn Queen.  The figure is SF11 Queen Creature

 Here are a couple of shots of the Hive bases.  The Hives are used as spawn points for additional troops.  They are made up of Codes SF4 Facehuggers with Bodies, SF5 Egg Cluster

 

 Aliens, yes the big guys, we use these as mature aliens, full grown monsters, I mixed the different codes on the bases, SF12 Medium Creature pose 1, SF18 Medium creature pose 2,  SF19 Medium Creature Pose 3 and SF23 Medium Warrior Creature.

 The little guys, these guys hatch from troops killed by Facehuggers, and must eat a human to become full grown.  SF13 Small Creature

Finally the facehuggers.  SF22 Facehuggers

 

I will put the basic rule cards up later, hope this helps if you are planning on your own Alien Infestation.

Napoleonic Austrian & Polish

 Polish lancers

 Austrian Grenadiers

 Austrian Infantry

Spanish succession game

 We finally got down to do a Spanish succession game, my French army against Austrians.  a simple scenario, one river with 2 crossings, the player holding both crossings at the end is the winner.  or so we thought.

 French dragoons quickly secured one bridge and held it for the rest of the game to the Austrian commanders surprise. (me - dam the dice sir!)

 French cavalry crossing the secured bridge smashed into the Austrian dragoons routing them with ease, however the Baden regiments halted the advance and would become the best units of the day for sheer determination.

 Austrian infantry try to stop the advancing cavalry, to little effect, their attempt to form squire ended in a disordered rout.

 Austrian forces withdrew to the church walls and the centre buckled, leaving the Baden forces the only intact unit in the field.

 The Austrians in the church held a turn, but finally were overrun.

 a grand advance of French infantry swept the French cavalry from the hill, taking the flank.

On the last turn the Austrian army was in full rout, however the Baden troops still held one bridge, and so as far as the result went, even with the Austrians routed they still held a bridge, with the French holding the second bridge the game was a draw, with points advantage to the French, however the Austrians admitted effective defeat out of a sense of fair play. (Dam them dice sir, dam them!)

Indian Mutiny

 I have been wanting to get into Indian mutiny for ages but never had the chance or funds.  I always wanted to know how the Indians could have lost given their advantages, and wanted to play a game with them but never saw a good set of rules to have a go with, but after a long look while I should have been working at Freewargamerules site I now have a set to game with but no figures.  However At Triples I picked up a few samples of Irregular Miniatures 15mm Mutiny figures.  These are Mutineers as you can tell, what I couldn't resist was getting a couple of elephants to pull the siege guns.

 The Infantry are a collection of figures both mutiny and loyal, to give a better overall look.

 These Elephants are such a cool thing I had to have them.  The Code if FIM14 from |Irregular Miniatures if you are at all interested.  They are quite cheep as well considering.  They are used to pull the Indian heavy siege guns.

The cannon are not part of the mutiny range but from the equipment section and are bombards, I just think they look more realistic on the field, besides by the end the Indians were dusting off anything that went bang as the British and their Allies crushed the rebellion.

Aliens in 10mm

 After Triples I found myself the proud owner of these Aliens and marines, this is a little selection of the much larger army.  The Colonial marines and APC's are all in Urban camouflage which I have been itching to paint something in for ages.   The bases are done in home made base tex and with grass clumps from a dude off of Tajima Miniatures.

 I love the camo job on these, see how they look with the buildings on my other blog.

WWI 1/3000th ships

 The full collection of my WWI  ships, the German Pacific cruiser squadron and the british ships for both the battle of coronel and the Battle of the Falklands  where the Germans came to a sticky end. 

With the ships are  several transports and tramp steamers to give a load of scenarios to play little games of the period.

 Clos ups of both the Germans and British.

 Here are 3 passenger ships converted to merchant raiders.  All the ships are from Navwar

Mahdist Revolt 6mm

 Here is a Formation of Baccus Mahdists, The pack comes with 4 regiments but I thought they looked a bit crowded and so split them to 6 bases.

 A  slightly closer View of these guys.

 There are as you know 2 types of infantry these guys are the 'other guys'  Ok they are the main guys but you get the idea.
