Putting the finishing touches on my Colonial Marines and Aliens for Another Glorious Day in the Corps, and whatever other rulesets they might eventually be useful for.

The Section Sergeant and his Drone Operator



First Squad



Second Squad



And the Platoon Command Squad with a pilot and its two Bishop and Castle model synthetics.





My Aliens





Some of the custom details:

These look fantastic. Excellent work on the camo and skin tones. The alien is showing all the detail nicely, too.

Do you have a comparison of the scale of these models next to a GW model?

They're 32mm True Scale, so about the height of a Kroot, but without the exaggerated hands and heads of GW models.

Wow those Aliens look spot on! did you remove them from the original bases or did they come with those ones?

I'm not a huge fan of round-lipped bases so I just put them in generic 25mm round bases with metal washers glued underneath to make them bottom heavy to avoid tipping. Which works out, since the Aliens Another Glorious Day in the Corps game has 25mm squares.

And thanks, the Aliens came out about as well as I could have hoped. Just a lot of targeted drybrushing with increasingly lighter colors of brown over a black basecoat.
