Thanks. Nice and simple.

Posted up a picture of the bike I'm using as a hunting bike with the gun moved as the underslung plasmacaster. I'm very happy with it.

As promised here is a picture of the drone. I'm going to photo blog my project via a seperate Instagram account for ease. Any useful ones I'll link on here for others use.

I'll post pictures once I have the tracker predator but I made a simple falcon drone to use instead of the token.

I used part of a GW Eldar back aerial for the nose and eyes, then trimmed down some Genestealer hands for the wing scutes. Very simple but once painted and put on a flight stand should look the part.

Thanks. My expansion box should arrive Monday so should be starting properly with my conversions. Any plans for the models in it?
My tracker will get a speargun and Stalker paint scheme (AvP Extinction)

Hey,

Jumping back in to AvP and I have some planned conversions.

Predator Soilder Blazer and Hydra loadout:
Use Youngbloods as a base as two have alot of armour and AvP extinction design had full armour. Bulk them up so the stand toe to toe with a Elder predator size wise. Turn dreadlocks into cables going into armour or hide as these units had no exposed flesh/hair. Claws filled or covered.
Add back mounted weapons maybe steal from larger scale predator figures?
Paint the flesh and netting as metal for a full body suit look.

Predator Hunting bike:
Two options as their ships show their tech carries in style and appearance. First is base the bike off of the Neca figure Blade Fighter or a smaller predator ship. You can buy a Plasma Caster or Ship the right scale for a basis for these.

Option I want to go for though is using Gate of Antares Freeborn Skimmer. Use a magnetised top half predator to swap out the pilot (with the lance weapon), this means if bike is destroyed you can pop him on his legs.
Remover the gunner and create space for two predators to be magnetised on as they hitch a ride. Once again stealing a neca figures plasma caster and popping it as the front underslung weapon. Add a trophy rack and boom paint silver.

For the Gunship I've seen a few nice kits of right scale Predator ships that I'll just grab one of those. Once my expansion and clear preds arrive I will start my new clan and post pictures of the conversions.

I'd go by the Card and bases sizes they are shipped with.

She looks the part, pose matches the facial expression really well. Another great job.

How did Dakka Dakka get this but the news letter has not shown us this. Looks like they decided to go with the look it has in the film like the licence gives them the ability to do rather than wierdly make up their own version so that's good.

Off topic if I remember I'll do a separate post on Dutch including his Stats. As for Linn she was too Street fighter looking to me so I passed on getting her.

On topic forgot to mention the Young Bloods are carrying some puppy weight they are not the toned muscled brutes like the Blooded Predators, I'm not sure if I like this as doesn't help make the Blooded stand out as a cut above but at least it keeps the AvP film look I guess.
